My husband and I took an amazing road trip for our honeymoon and this van was amazing!! Shaun had amazing communication before and during the trip. They did a whole walkthrough of the van before hand which was really helpful as we were clueless. 10/10 recommend

My wife and I had a great time renting the van for a road trip from Phoenix-Petrified forest-valley off the gods-flagstaff-Sedona. The hosts provided excellent communication, and they also explained in details how to operate all the features of the van when we picked it up. The van is an optimal size for two persons, offering comfort while being easy to maneuver. Glad we rented this van for our first camper van trip

This van was perfect for the two of us. It was small enough to be conveniently driven around (good for stopping in parking lots without parking being a hassle, etc.). It was efficient for what we needed, the bed takes up most of the room when it’s out but it’s quite spacey when the bed is put back to the couch. The van was super easy to use and the perfect place to go after a long hike. Communication with Aaron and Shaun was super easy also, very accommodating and super nice people.

My wife and I had an awesome trip! We flew in from New Orleans, picked up the van, headed up to Page & worked our way back down through the Grand Canyon, Sedona, Scottsdale, and dropped it back off. Shaun was a great host & answered any questions or needs we had. We were so thankful that we had a vehicle & place to sleep all in one. It was also very easy to pull into camp grounds and get a spot due to the convenient size of the van! We were able to hit all the spots on our list; this was definitely a trip to remember.

Thank you Sam! We’d be happy to host you again in the future!

This van was great for exploring Sedona & the Grand Canyon with 2 people! Only issues were the bed being a little finicky to pull out and the propane powered heat is a little confusing to get on but other than that it was a blast.

Communication was excellent with Shaun. The pickup and drop off from the airport went well. The vehicle was super clean and any small issues were dealt with quickly by text or cell. The Van (class B motorhome) was perfect for what we did, which was tour, hike, zipline, and UTV ride across Southeastern AZ for a week. The best part was that because it was self-contained, we spent a total of one night where we had to pay for a campsite(state park), than that we boondocked at Cracker Barrels, road side parks, and dry camps the entire trip. We'd recommend it highly!

Thank you for staying with us Lyndon, it was a pleasure to host your trip! Happy to host you again in the future!

What fun with Darwin! How awesome to set out to the Arizona mountains knowing you have everything you need to get off the beaten path. Darwin was so smooth on the highway and his modest size made it easy to navigate downtown adventures too! Host are helpful and accommodating. Thanks for a great trip!

Shaun was awesome spent. They spent a considerable amount of time showing me how everything works since this was my first time every using a camper van. The Van was like brand new and everything was perfect. I highly recommend renting from Shaun and their camper van.
