Ivo was a fantastic host. He was very communicative, reachable and available and made sure that I had a great time on my trip and was always on top of all of the logistics. Love all of the ways he's customized Pumba and the mattress kept me warm on some cold nights in the desert, would definitely rent again and recommend.

Pumba is amazing! So comfortable and functional, you’ll be hard pressed to find another camper van as fun as this one. Excellent communication for super easy pickup and drop off, Daniel and Ivo are super responsive and helpful. Can’t wait for our next adventure in Seattle with Pumba!

Ivo is absolutely amazing. I got last minute tickets to Coachella and was scrambling to figure out a camping set up. I messaged him the evening before I was supposed to head out and he was super accommodating and helpful. When we met up he shared a detailed breakdown of Pumba so we could be well set up. Everything went perfectly! Pumba drives well, kept all our devices charged, kept us cool during the day, provided comfortable sleep and just an overall awesome experience. Would 100% use Pumba again for Coachella or any other outings.

Had an amazing time with Pumba! We got so many compliments asking if the van was ours. We drove for 4 days and had zero problems. The van had everything we needed for our glamping trip through Washington. If I ever return, I will for sure take Pumba out for another ride!

Pumba was just what we needed! We took him on a week-long loop around the Olympic Peninsula. Ivo had Pumba stocked with literally everything we could have wanted, it made our trip very streamlined & comfortable. Takes a little getting used to not being able to stand up fully so I wouldn’t *love* it in the rainy season when you would have to cook inside so I would bring a pop-up tent/awning if you are expecting rain & wanted to do much cooking etc. The van handled tight roads & steep inclines much better than I anticipated & the rooftop deck is perfect for taking in the scenic views on the roadside!
Ivo was extremely friendly & helpful, he gave us great recommendations of places to stop on our journey and responded immediately when we had a small hiccup. He also made sure we knew where every amenity was located and how to use them before we departed!
The solar setup worked perfectly and relieved any stress about keeping electronics charged and everything functional.
Would absolutely take Pumba for another trip in the future!

Such a wonderful van to adventure around WA. Really well kitted out with the essentials plus all the extras one might need! Cooking/cleaning products were much appreciated as a traveller with limited luggage. Loved taking Pumba to the mountains, and appreciated the helpful instructions on how to use the features of the van.

My friend and I LOVED driving Pumba around for a few days. We took him to see all 3 Washington NPs. Ivo did a great job making sure we had everything we needed, particularly stuff we had forgotten. There was also ample storage space that we definitely needed. Pumba was very comfortable and reliable (not to mention so stylish). We ran into no issues on the road and he was super easy to drive. The rooftop deck was a big seller for us and we used it every night to eat dinner on and every day to get the *perfect* views. The solar panels were awesome and made van living very easy for some inexperienced travelers. We both agreed that sleeping in Pumba was some of the best sleep we'd had because of how comfy it was. I would recommend Pumba to anyone travelling solo or with a buddy. Living out of Pumba was exactly what we were looking for and we will miss driving him around so much!

Excellent experience! Ivo is easy to coordinate with and very helpful. Pumba beautiful — inside and out lol. The van is comfortable and drives really well! We traveled around Olympic National Park and Mount Rainier for 3 days with no problems. Thanks, Ivo!

The pumba was a really great van for our trip. We went to olympic national park for 4 nights. It was a little cold in April still so had to buy some extra blankets, but overall the necessities are all included! Ivo was enthusiastic and helpful during the process.

Ivo was awesome! Made it super easy to get going. Original plan was in a tent. So this was a luxury upgrade considering it rained most of the weekend! The whole experience was to see what it would be like. Pumba was practicle for an eating and sleeping getaway during a pandemic. The people you meet, the different places you go, the things you see, the different foods you taste courtesy from a relible and secure little pig, er... rig to get you there. Well worth the trip!

The best first time camper van experience! Ivo was super responsive before our trip and during it when we had any questions. Pumba is great van, has all the necessities, and is always easy to spot in a parking lot :p

We felt completely relaxed and happy in this artful customized van. The exterior aura set the mood for our fun adventure to the Gorge for the Tame Impala concert. We were amazed at how comfortable the mattress was, for both lounging in the afternoon during a light rain, and then for an amazing night of rest. We found the interior space thoughtfully organized and efficient so that we could clean and pack up quickly. The van drives easily. Communication with Ivo and Cori was really easy and pleasant, they were accommodating and kind. We highly recommend the Pumba for a weekend adventure!

We had the best time! Pumba was perfect for the occasion and I would easily rent this out again. Ivo was the best host. After planning this almost a year in advance and helping me figuring things out through rescheduled concerts, I cannot recommend Ivo enough. Incredibly easily to communicate with, bending over backwards to help, and just really pleasant to talk with anyway!

Omg where do we start:
The van has character! It's beast of a van but an easy drive. Comfort for cruising the scenic highways.
We drove to the Gorge was the talk of the campsite everyone wanted to see the "painted van". The bed in the back gave us the best sleep better than most hotel beds, and the roof was perfect for sunbathing or playing Uno. We absolutely loved our time with Pumba. It made our camping experience an awesome one highly recommend it! Happy Camping!

My sister and I took out Pumba in Olympic National Park for our first sleeper van experience. We loved the fact that folks were drawn to the outside color and warm vibes. And we appreciated that Pumba was self created and has been on many adventures - felt super homey in that way. In terms of the sleeper van journey - we will definitely be doing it again - had a blast! The freedom of being able to move around and the ease of not having to set up and break down at tent was awesome!

We loved Pumba!! Took a 4 day, 3 night trip through the entire perimeter of Olympic National Park and had the best time. Pumba had everything we needed and more, the only thing that we brought extra were towels for ourselves! From the portable stove, jetboil, eco-cooler, mini sink, cookware, chairs, rooftop deck (amazing), etc., this is perfect if you're coming from out of state, or even local and don't have the luxury to bring all your camping gear with you. We felt right at home and never felt that we were lacking anything.

The pick up and drop off was very easy and flexible. Our favorite part about staying in this van was how comfortable the bed was. Pumba is a very functional van and does/has everything as the owner described. Would recommend!

We had the best time road tripping in the Pumba! Hand off and drop off were super smooth and Ivo was on top of everything we needed to know before we left. We took it across the northern beaches and then down south to the coast all the way to the tip of Oregon. We didn't have a plan of where to stay each night and ended up finding the best places along the way, even though it was Memorial Day weekend. The battery powered cooler was a game changer and everything you need for cooking was already there for you. The bed was super comfortable and we didn't have any kind of maintenance issues along the way! If you are on the fence about renting the Pumba, jump off and just do it, you won't regret it!

I booked Pumba for a short overnight trip to get out of the city, and it was perfect!! The van has everything you need, and is comfortable to drive and to sleep in! Check out and return was easy and friendly. I can't recommend this highly enough. If you're thinking about booking Pumba... do it!

Our trip with Pumba was incredible! The van drove well, had plenty of storage space, we slept comfortably and Ivo our host had the van stocked with everything we needed: full 7 gallon water jug, electric fridge, battery, sheets, pillows, camping chairs, cleaning materials and much more! We were full stocked and ready to go. Not to mention what an incredible host Ivo was. He was extremely communicative, helpful and flexible throughout our experience. I highly highly recommend renting Pumba and Ivo as a host. Our trip was definitely one for the books!

Pumba performed well over a two week trip from Seattle to Joshua Tree CA and back. The bed was comfortable and Ivo was very helpful when I had questions.

The van:
We rented Pumba for an 8-day road trip covering ~3600 miles going through WA, OR, CA, AZ, UT, NV, ID. Given the age of the van, we were a little apprehensive about the duration of the trip. But that was totally unfounded as the van drove VERY smoothly and had no trouble at all serving our needs. Also, the whacky paint job stood the van out of the crowd, and on several occasions people would wave out to us with a smile :).

Wow this was the perfect choice to explore Washington’s many parks. We took this van all the way from Mount St. Helens, rainier national park, the Olympic peninsula to mount baker national forest/ cascades national park. The van handled great on all those terrible mountain backroads. It had everything we needed: the perfect sized pot and pan plus jet boil for cooking, spices, utensils (the only thing we were missing was cups which I’m sure are normally in there since it had everything else...no problem though we just used disposable coffee cups). Oh and the bed—so comfortable!!

We rented Ivo’s van for 3 days and it was amazing. The van was perfectly clean with all the equipment necessary to cook, sleep, etc. Plus, Ivo was really Nice and helpful , he explained to us everything about the van and even gave us some great advice on what to do with the van in Washington state.

Pumba made our trip around Western Washington a dream! Ivo responded to our questions very quickly, made the van sparkle, and stocked the van with everything we needed for the 5 days. We were super impressed by the supplies stocked and the consideration made to keep us comfy for our adventure. Despite the mileage on the van (~ 250k) the engine, tires, overall driveability was very reliable. We look forward to taking Pumba out on the road again in the near future.
