I've set out to make this rental experience as thoughtful and convenient as possible, so that someone can hop off a plane at Calgary International Airport with socks and underwear in their carry-on bag, and after one grocery stop on the way out of town, can visit our world class National Parks like Banff and Jasper or go off-grid camping in the Canadian Rocky Mountains.This van seats 4 people with seat belts including one "universal anchorage system" (UAS) lower anchor set to install a car-seat. You can sleep up to 4 people with one queen size bed and one full size bed. The ceiling is 6'3 so you don't have to duck your head when inside. There is lots of storage in the van - under bench seats, a closet beside toilet which comes with plastic storage totes, and a floor to ceiling storage area on the other side of toilet. The aluminum 'trunk' with bike rack outside at the back of the camper also always included but can be easily removed.Other safety considerations addressed include a back-up camera with 10" display screen. The van also has a Carbon Monoxide detector and LPG (propane) detector to ensure the safety of all occupants.The van is set up to be self sufficient for days at a time off-grid, complete with a 220 amp-hour battery set up with "% remaining" monitoring, 75L on-board fresh water tank, sink, toilet and proper septic tank under the van. A 30 lb onboard propane tank supplies a heater, refrigerator, 4-burner stove, oven and an outdoor cook-top for when the weather is nice. There is a 300 watt power inverter capable of powering laptops, charging cameras & phones or other low to medium power demand devices while off-grid. The inverter does not have enough capacity to run high power demand devices like toaster or hair dryer, however, at campsites with power connected, the outlets work just like at home - 15 amp circuits.An outdoor shower can be set up at the back of the van in about 2 min, complete with a shower curtain & rod mounted on the van, a magnetic shower head mount, and a quick connect hose on the outside of the camper. There's even a built-in clothes line to stretch out to a nearby tree for drying your towels and beach wear.From the drivers' seat, you have all the normal gauges and controls plus a trip computer to show you information like fuel mileage, transmission temperature, and to check on any engine trouble codes without needing to go find a mechanic. You can pair your phone to the multimedia center with a 10" touch screen that serves as the backup camera, and you can connect with wireless Apple Car Play and Android Auto - especially nice for hands-free phone calls, listening to your own music or podcasts and when you are navigating somewhere new using Google Maps directions!The Ford E-250 chassis is heavy duty and this van also has upgraded suspension to ride even better than it came from the factory - very stable and nice to drive. The 5.8L gasoline V8 pulls nice and strong for travelling in the mountains. And I only run quality, tuff and trusted 10-ply tires, never more than 6 yrs old.What's includedKitchen, Cooking & Eating:
•Pot, sauce pan, cooking utensils, baking sheet, pizza stone, coffee percolator, strainer
•Cutlery, plates, bowls, cups, coffee mugs, wine glasses

RecommendationsThis van is ready to take you anywhere! Western Canada has lots to offer, our favorites are Banff & Jasper National Parks. Camping in Kananaskis is also very impressive - & it is closer to Calgary. Booking camping in the Parks can be competitive, and because of that, I could also recommend some PRA (Provincial Recreation Areas) or crown land 'free camping' locations to try if the big Parks are booked up. I'm happy to help work out travel plans for anyone who makes a booking.Other things to note-Discounted rates for 1 week, and 1 month bookings

Our host (David) was amazing, from meeting us at the airport to running us through the overview of the vehicle to being available for any questions could not have asked for better support throughout, the vehicle was perfect for our vacation taking us through all our planned routes through the Rockies and to our eventual destination in Tofino… cannot recommend this host and the vehicle enough… we are so grateful for our time and memories overall experience, price support and vehicle exceeded my expectations…

We had a great time with David's van. It's a bit older but in good shape and well-equipped.

David is an excellent host, from pickup to hand over, offering tips and advice. The van performed without a problem and has everything required for the longest trip, including firewood! I can highly recommend David and would hire again.
