Easy to drive, user-friendly layout, comfortable bed. Our first time renting a camper van and we really enjoyed it! Jaime was a very helpful and responsive host.

Absolutely an amazing experience with this vehicle and camper! Owners are extremely friendly. We went on a trip in the middle of winter to some of the parks in Southern Utah. Truck drives amazing even at the high speeds for the highways. Truck is very capable if you need to go on dirt roads for camping in the national forests or on BLM land. Had no issues what so ever. The camper itself is easy to set up and the owners provide just about everything you would need with plenty of room for storage. The heat for the camper is awesome and we used it for the cold we experienced but barely needed it when sleeping since its insulated. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a great experience and easy movement when camping. We will be looking to rent again when we want to take a trip!
