We are a young couple living in the Roaring Fork Valley, & fully subscribe to the ‘work hard, play harder’ lifestyle. We love nothing more than discovering the country on climbing road-trips to locales like Red Rocks, Joshua Tree & Bishop. Our introduction to ‘Van Life’ came after we grew tired of the hassle of car camping. Our first van was a Chevy Explorer conversion, & it allowed us to keep all our gear in one place, hit the road on a Friday with nothing more than our weekend clothes & climbing or biking gear, & get as much time being weekend warriors as possible. We soon pined for the standing room & kitchen associated with a taller van, & set our sights on a Sprinter Van. We then bought ‘Tootsie’ the Dodge Sprinter Van; a 2006 Sportsmobile conversion. After doing a lot of work to the interior, the van suited our style perfectly. We sold her in May of 2018 to a very happy family. Our second sprinter, 'Blue', is a 144" 2016 4x4 Mercedes Sprinter, and she was our first from scratch build-out. There’s nothing like pulling into camp, cracking a beer & taking in the view. Home really is where you park it & we look forward to sharing it with you.
Kimbo and Jason took great care of us, from fancy hot cocoa for our daughter, to a six pack of local beer for my wife and I. The Grey Wolf fit our needs perfectly, 9 days of camping in multiple states and sites! The van is supplied with everything needed including little details like camping chairs and a bluetooth speaker for outdoor music! I would highly recommend taking a trip in this van!
Awesome- great set up for a family!
Blue was awesome - he kept us comfy and warm on some cold nights camping. The van was stocked with everything we needed and more (pots, pans, spices, lanterns, chairs, etc.) and had plenty of space for our gear!
Kimbo and Jason were so easy to coordinate with and even surprised us with some local brews for the trip.
What a wonderful experience from booking to drop off! Jason and Kimbo never failed to answer questions via email, chat, or text at anytime during our trip: it was world-class service. Our pickup and dropoff times had to be adjusted for weather events and they were entirely flexible and accommodating. The Sprinter itself was in tip-top shape and performed wonderfully: clean, full of great features,…
We had a lovely time exploring CO in Blue! Kimbo and Jason were super helpful and wonderful to work with. Blue was easy to drive, well organized, and fun to have at our campsites!
Super cozy, perfectly suited to my needs van. Ran great and did all I asked of it. Jason & Kimbo are super hosts.
We had so much fun in 'Blue', driving round the national parks of Utah. The van has everything you can possible need, is super easy to drive, and is incredibly cosy when the temperature drops! Also Jason was so helpful in advance, in setting up the van, and when we got back! We will definitely be looking to book again!
I should start by saying that we don’t camp. Don’t know how to camp. Don’t even really like camping. We LOVED this trip in Grey Wolf. I don’t think we can camp any other way now. It gave us the freedom to be in a new place every night. It drove really well and fast. I felt safe. If you are thinking of doing a camp trip in this van I highly recommend. I’ve never felt closer to my little family.
Thanks so much Lauren and Andy and Briggs. We are so happy you survived the great outdoors in this van!

All around, a great experience renting Blue from Kimbo and Jason. It felt like a long shot that I’d find a van at all on relatively short notice, let alone one as nice as Blue. All questions were answered in short order and it was a smooth pickup. Mechanically, the van is in tremendous shape. She could go anywhere and ran beautifully. Internally, it has everything you need for a fun adventure. A little bit of wear and tear, but that’s what these are made for! I’d certainly rent from Aspen Custom Vans again if we don’t customize our own before then :)
Thanks for the nice words, Adriaan! We appreciate you taking such good care of the van!

We had a fabulous trip in Blue! Kimbo was so accommodating and available for all of my extra questions before we set out and that made it super easy to be ready to just hit the road when we picked the van up. The kitchen was stocked with everything you could possibly need, there was plenty of storage for everything else you might want to bring...and the van was comfy as can be! We escaped far from our everyday stresses and would do it again in an instant!
