Welcome to our cozy humble abode on wheels! After previously living in a van for nearly three years in the rockies of Colorado, your hosts, Steve and Francesca, decided to share their love and passion for the outdoors by building out their dream four season adventure mobile & share it with you!Our van is a 2019 Ram Promaster ALL Season high top roof, with a 136 wheel base which makes it feel like your driving a small car, so it's great for anyone who isn't experienced with driving a van. Having a smaller vessel also makes finding a place to camp quite easy!Our van is equipped with 400 amp hours of battery and 400 watts of solar energy charging to keep you comfortable off grid for days on end. All appliances run off the electric, including the induction cooktop, fridge, thermometric control maxx air fan, and ample outlets to keep your electronics charged no matter how far in the backcountry you are!It is also fully insulated and stocked with a bluetooth Wabasto heater that runs directly off the gas tank, making our van perfect for powder hounding in the winter and for those chilly Colorado summer or winter nights.*Please note the in the winter the water is turned off as it would freeze otherwise!*We strongly believe in a good nights sleep to fuel your daily adventures so our sleeping arrangements include a fully adjustable EXped mattress, meaning you can make it as firm or as plush as you'd prefer, fluffy pillows, and more blankets than you could ever need :)We took into consideration our previous builds to ensure this one had all the necessities for a comfortable glamping experience to host some unforgettable memories in the mountains!Please feel free to reach out with any questions about our rental, we are more than happy to help!"it is better to travel well, than to arrive" ~BuddhaWhat's includedKITCHEN/DINNING

-4/20 friendly inside the van is okay, but absolutely no cigarettes or the security deposit will be held for a professional cleaning.
-Please return the van in the condition your received it. I don't expect a full interior detail but I do ask that you bring the van back in generally clean condition. This includes the tank filled. Damages and extra cleaning will result in additional charges.
- Remember, this is a high roof van. Do not attempt drive-throughs, parking garages, or other low clearance situations (14' clearance)

5The van was absolutely perfect for us for a mini moon music festival for two. It had everything we needed for a comfortable sleep and I could see us using the van for a few days off grid in the wilderness. The hosts were great, very communicative and provided helpful guidance for a comfortable stay. This van is easy for beginners and more experienced van folks alike.
