"Rayvan" is ready to take you on your camping journey of leaving a small footprint with low impact camping. It is easy to drive, good gas mileage and simple to use and rent. Rayan is similar to car camping in a van. Rayvan has a full size bed w memory foam topper, ultra soft high quality flannel sheets (it is usually cold after the sun goes down) w light down comforter. Cozy cozy! It has a high ceiling for people to stand up straight. Captain's chairs swivel to face any direction and a table can be placed between you.
Rayvan has a double battery system and is solar powered. You can plug into electric for optimal charging of devices. She has a great heating system.
Rayvan is only a 5-6 minute taxi ride ($10) to get to her from the airport. Easy peasy. Enjoy exploring the beauty Alaska has to offer; your experienced Alaskan host has explored the road system multiple times and can help.
All are welcome to rent RayVan.About the owner: I am a single Alaskan mom and look forward to sharing "Rayvan" with you. I love providing a good service to people.
