The tent takes one person just a few minutes to set up and get open then just a few more to get all the windows that I want open and situated just right. Around 15 minutes all said and done. Packing it back up is pretty much the same.Seating: Cricket can seat 2 – 5 passengers.Sleeping: Cricket sleeps 2-5 people. There is one main full bed, and the bench seat can also be used to sleep children or smaller humans. Or fur babies. You choose. The optional rooftop tent can sleep 2 adults or 3 kiddos comfortably. Need more space? Let one of our mini campers tag along for another queen bed and a discount on the rental. (Please check availability before adding a trailer to a rental)Mileage: 100 free miles per night + $.50 per mile excessOther Amenities:Rear bug net for open air sleeping

5.0The Trooper Campervan from Vanlife KC was just perfect for our trip to Buffalo River National Park in Arkansas! The van has loads of space to store luggage and to sleep on the really confortable bed. It is equipped with window blinders and a mosquito net which turned out to be very useful during our nights in the van. The Trooper was perfect on all types of roads from Kansas to the national park. Sarah and Spencer were very flexible, kind and always available to answer all the questions we had. Totally recommended!
