5.0What an incredible time we had taking "Rufus" around Northern California. We were able to do "dispersed camping" completely off the grid and enjoy the sounds and beauty away from the crowds. Jacob was an excellent and responive host, and the van was fully packed with everything necessary and some thoughtful addional items. HIghly reccomend both the host and "The BEAST" for your next advnture.

5.0Rufus was great! It had all the amenities and comforts that I could ask for. Very capable and easy to drive with extra cameras around the van. Totally dialed-in set up. Jake was very accommodating and helpful explaining how to use the van. Would def come back for another trip with Rufus!

5.0Jake’s RV was well equipped, easy to drive, and very comfortable. It was very easy to pick up and drop off, and communicating with Jake was easy. Between the battery and the diesel-driven heater, we were able to be 100% off the grid in the woods for four days. Would definitely rent again.

5.0Jake’s Beast Mode van was exactly what we needed to get the most out of our trip. Couldn’t ask for a better host or van. Pickup and drop off was a breeze and we were shown all important features. Easily ran a couple days off grid and was able to handle all driving conditions with ease. Can’t wait to take another trip with it.
