Renee is a great host and the van is awesome as well. She was kind enough to pick us up at the airport at the beginning of our trip and drop us off at the hotel at the end. The van handles great and everything operated as promised. Highly recommend Renee and her rig. Thanks

We had an amazing time with this van! We stayed wherever we wanted, and stopped whenever we wanted. We had everything we needed in the van. We did add on the full kitchen and toilet. We bought a few extra cooking supplies, but besides that, everything you needed was supplied. It was cold for most of our trip, so we couldn’t utilize the van to its fullest in terms of outside space, but the heater kept us warm on those cold nights. It would have been nice to have an extra table inside to set things on. On the warmer days and less windy days, we did pull the back slide out and cook on there. We fit perfectly in the Iron Mountain tunnels, but be sure to avoid Needles Highway. Our trip was in April so the Badlands & Wind Cave area was not crowded at all. Many times we didn’t see anyone for miles and miles. Be sure to take roads less traveled and explore. We saw more animals on Lame Johnny Road than the Wildlife Loop. In April not much was open, but we didn’t mind. We stopped at a local coop market in Rapid City and stocked up before we headed out. The fridge was big enough to hold food and beer for four days for us. Grab some local visitors guides of Custer State Park and the Badlands area, they give a great overview of the area, animals, and things to do.

Loved the van! Was nice and clean, well stocked with anything you might need. Hosts were great about communicating and providing extra blankets, etc. when needed. Easy pick up and drop off.
