Step right up, folks, and feast your eyes on the marvel of mid-'90s automotive excellence! Presenting the 1996 GMC Safari Camper Van, affectionately dubbed "The Safari Dream Machine." This vintage gem is perfect for those yearning to explore the great outdoors with the style and sophistication of a bygone era. Let's not judge a book by its cover - The Safari Dream Machine is all about what's on the inside.Features:
Engine: A roaring V6 powerhouse that sounds like a purring tiger after a hearty meal. No rush, it’s all about the journey, right?
Interior: A mullet car - business in the front, party in the back. The van has been beautifully renovated, putting the "dream" in "The Safari Dream Machine".Exterior: A delightful blah blue paint job that's a charming mix of rust and nostalgia. It’s not just a van; it’s a conversation starter. Plus, the dents add character and aerodynamic efficiency – or so we tell ourselves.The van also comes with a small tarp and bungee cords.Amenities:
Kitchen Area: Comes complete with a USB chargeable pump sink, basic cookware and dinnerware.
Sleeping Area: A 4'W x 6'L bed slides out of the lounge area in seconds. Sleeps two adults who like to get cozy, or one adult and a large dog, or three determined raccoons.Storage: Room to store your hopes, dreams, and maybe even a bag or two.Technology: Cutting-edge cassette player to blast your favorite '90s hits. Bluetooth? Ha! We've got a detachable faceplate radio and a mysterious button that we’re pretty sure launches a satellite.
There is a tape deck adapter so you can hook up your phone. The sound quality won't blow you away.
Climate Control: Air conditioning that works… when it feels like it. Windows to give you that “open-air” driving experience at any time.Extras and Quirks:
Rooftop Vent: Fresh air during those hot summer nights.
Curtains: For privacy and vibes.Window shade: Reflective window shades for front and back for privacy and to keep the van the perfect temperature.Lighting: Remote controlled ceiling lights.Bedding: Pillows and two blankets to keep you nice and cozy.Ready for an adventure?

The value of this car was so far ahead of the market, I had such an amazing time in this reliable van! The host was communicative and I felt good about the process from start to finish. Expect to go really far on one tank of gas, and to stay plenty warm at night. The character in this 30-year-old truck made my trip to Jasper unforgettable

Elyse was really kind, and her family as well. We loved the car, traveled 1000km in 3 days without any problem. Of course it's not a brand new vehicle, but it's do the job done. The other good thing is the van is pet friendly so we brought our small dogo for this adventure as well.
