We rented this Van in an effort to experience the "camper van" lifestyle. It was fantastic! so much fun. The owners were so organized and helpful from the start. Now we want to go out and get one. The van had everything we needed and was quite simple to use. I liked the fact that the owners used the van on their own trips so they had all the little things taken care of from kitchen supplies to fresh sheets and a warm comforter. As long as you find a level site you will sleep like a baby. Overall i was very pleased with the whole process and how friendly and helpful the owners were. Thank You !

So good! Spent a week in this van. Never had to refill the water tank. Didn't even fill up the gray water tank. The battery never got below 95% as the solar panels just kept charging it back up. And every time I drove, it would charge back to 100%. Found it easy to use public bathrooms all week (but my pee bottle was a life saver). Never needed to use the toilet, but it was nice to know that it was there. This is the van for tall people! A queen size bed to sprawl out in was so nice. And the ceilings were so high (Ford Transits have the highest roof), I never felt claustrophobic. Stealth parking was easier than I thought it would be. Even in San Francisco. I expected that being in an unfamiliar place and strange sounds would keep me from sleeping well. I slept like a baby. Soundproofing made the interior surprisingly quiet. The walk through was helpful. I felt fully supported by Patrick and Kayti. Before pick up, during pick up and throughout the trip. They put a lot of love and thoughtful planning into designing this tiny home which made my week more comfortable than I expected. I didn't think I could love the location of a trash can so much! There were mornings when I woke up cold. But as soon as I fired up the Little Buddy heater, the van was toasty warm in an instant. It was kind of a hassle to pull out the cook stove every time that I wanted to cook. But because it's not built into the counter top, it means you have clean lines and lots of counter to use. Also, I enjoyed taking the cookstove out to a picnic table and cooking meals outside. The hot water kettle was on point for coffee and tea. What a great week! Thank you Patrick and Kayti!!! I'll never forget it. PS - I used a hotspot, cafes and libraries and worked remotely all week.

We hope you enjoy our van that we built together over two years. We found the project a fun and creative outlet, but also one filled with many challenges, late nights, and do-overs. It was something we couldn't do without the support of our friends and family that offered ideas, tutorials, and helping hands. Professionally, we both work in the environmental field where we attempt to restore natural habitats, protect intact landscapes, and build healthy communities throughout Monterey County. We love adventuring to new places where we surf, run rivers, rock climb, mountain bike, backpack, or just let our french pointer Josie run wild and free. There is so much to see and experience in this part of the world and we hope you find what you're looking for with the added comfort and freedom that comes with this van. Best, Patrick and Kayti
