Meet your host, Max
Member since 2021
I love being outdoors whether its in the mountains, forest, coast or exploring a slot canyon. This is my first dedicated camper van, however I have owned several Transit vans including a fully electric version. I wanted to share our love for camping and the outdoors with others, so decided to purchase a professionally built Transit conversion and add our own small touches to give everyone the best experience we can. Blessed to live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest and look forward to hosting anyone who wants to come explore in style.

Max and Darlene were amazing hosts, and the van was set up with everything we needed and could have wanted. We especially liked having the heater and the camp chairs, and the bed was really comfortable. We would happily rent this van again.

The Darth Vader was PERFECT for our PNW adventure. The van was smooth when driving and Max had equipped it with all the necessities! We overpacked because he had us covered with everything from extra phone chargers to sunscreen and bug spray. There was even a Bluetooth speaker for enjoying some music outside the vehicle. We had an absolute blast and will definitely be coming back to enjoy the NPs with Darth Vader again!

We try to be as flexible as possible! Please send us a message and let us know what time you are expecting to pick up/drop off and we will do our best to accommodate your needs. We ask renters drop off no later than 10AM to allow enough time to fully sanitize & detail our van for any future guests. Pickup after 2PM unless otherwise agreed to.
