First off, Christopher and Manal are a host dream team. In their own ways, with Christopher putting expertise and love into making Stella’s systems top notch, organized, and easy to figure out with well designed documentation, and Manal coming through with homey touches and add-on offerings that make it feel like a 5 star hotel on wheels, especially when you compare it to a night in a tent on the ground, say. Combined, they have thought of almost literally everything except food. Anything you might need has been carefully considered and neatly stowed somewhere. It’s the freedom of camping and the comfort of home with the mobility to take you on almost any adventure. It was my first time in a van colossus turned into a luxury mobile camping experience., but I might be hooked. My partner and I are already planning another trip! Thanks again, Christopher and Manal! Truly a memorable experience .

The best part was how the owners have thought of everything! Every detail! And on top of that they cared about my trip and my comfort and enjoyment! A little well appointed gift baskets and lovely little notes made me feel a part of the family.

I leave 5 stars because I can't do more, Manal and Chris were amazing hosts, they answered our questions quickly before the trip and were very accommodating with the pickup and return.

We had an absolutely magical 10 days on the Stella Van! The custom touches (extremely comfortable mattress upgrade and bedding, add on options, welcome basket, toiletries, etc.) were so appreciated and the condition of the van is in excellent shape. We had no issues while on the road and felt incredibly safe throughout all conditions. We had some very chilly nights and the insulation of the van always kept us warm, and the heater was an added luxury when needed - perfect temperature control. The hot showers (both outdoor and inside) were great and definitely an appreciated feature after days of hiking and exploring! The Starlink was INCREDIBLE and functioned perfectly, allowing us to work from the road with zero issues inclusive of crystal clear video calls, large file uploads and downloads, etc. - a major perk. There were so many additional bells and whistles that made the trip extra comfortable as well, all was well worth the more premium price. Additional, Chris and Manal were so helpful and flexible with the rental from pick up to drop off, and then communication while on the road. If anything was needed they were just a text message away which made us feel so at ease while we were on adventure! I could go on and on, already missing our cozy little house on wheels!

This is a great van to rent! Chris and his wife responded promptly and made check in and out very easy. We used it for 5 nights and most stayed at campsites, but the van has everything you need for desolate camping. It has very strong batteries and solar panels, so we never had to worry about running out of power. Using the water tank and city water at campsites was a simple process and made it easy to take a warm shower. The bed was comfy. It has HVAC, a fan and many windows for air flow. There are plenty of outlets throughout the van. The Starlink worked well even in remote areas. Loved having the Nespresso machine. I would highly recommend adding the solo stove if you are desolate camping. Otherwise we just cooked on the fire pit at the campsite. The hot plate was also very handy. The price may be slightly higher than other options that look comparable but the extra cost is well worth it. The attention to detail Chris and his wife put into creating this van made our time renting it very enjoyable.

We had an amazing week with Stella as our travel partner. No hiccups or issues with the van and the small changes that Christopher and Manul have made add up to big improvements in comfort and convenience. We wouldn’t hesitate to rent through them again. Wonderful Experience!! Rich and Jen

Chris and Manal’s Camper Van was an AMAZING experience. My wife and I and Labrador names Bear went to Mammoth Lakes and enjoyed a wonderful 5 STAR vacation. We had never done anything like this, and Chris’ tutorial made it super easy and comfortable. The van is a breeze to drive, like a big truck, with no RV-like parking restrictions anywhere.
We highly recommend renting from them - you’ll love it!

We had the best time with Chris’ van. The car was clean, comfortable and had everything you could want for a long weekend journey.
