5.0Borrowed the van to camp with my girlfriend at a campground near Bakersfield for a music themed event. My main thing was that I didn't want to bring in a whole RV and deal with hookups and dumping. But I did want a nice comfortable bed to sleep in, solar power, and the ability to run electricity at our camp. Kinn's Sprinter van did just the trick. Kinn is a super cool dude and spent a good amount of time doing the walkaround and showing how things worked. If you have never rented an RV before, there are systems that need to be learned always. It's not like renting a Corolla at Enterprise. I actually dropped in my own full size mattress after pickup because sleep is a priority and he had suggested a mattress topper. Sleeping on a real mattress was bomb! RV had running sink and a fridge, both of which we used. We also used the van to charge up appliances while we were on our trip. Also went with the option of renting his portable power station, which we used to run a blender and charge phones. Never got a chance to test out the shower as we had other options but it was nice to know that it was there as an option. Driving the van, once you get the hang of it, is a breeze. Once you get used to it, it feels like driving an SUV or a minivan. Overall great trip and the van really made a difference in our stay!

5.0Kin was amazing about giving us a full tour of the camper van/ RV, showing us how everything works and has clearly put so much work into making this an amazing camper. It has functional hot water, a huge solar powered battery, and a really nice internal setup that converts from a seating/ dining area to a bed. I would recommend a mattress topper if sleeping for several nights as cushions are a tiny bit stiff. Otherwise the camper was equipped with everything we needed including pots, pans, cutlery etc. I cannot wait for my next trip in this van.

Frequently asked questions
Q.
How tall is the van? Can I park it in a garage?
A.
The van stands 9'10" tall. Standard parking garages are 7–8 ft — it will not fit. Always look for the clearance sign before entering any covered structure. When in doubt, choose street or open-air parking. This is the single most important thing to know before driving.
Q.
What kind of fuel does it take?
A.
Diesel only — look for the green nozzle at the pump. It's usually at the truck lane. Putting gasoline in a diesel engine causes catastrophic damage. If you're ever unsure at a station, text us before you fill up. No exceptions on this one.
Q.
How many people can sleep or ride in it?
A.
The van sleeps 2. There are seatbelts in the front two seats only — riding in the back while moving is not permitted and not legal. The dinette seats 4 when parked, making it great for groups at camp, but the rental is designed for 2 passengers maximum.
Q.
How does the bed conversion work?
A.
The U-bench dinette converts to a full bed in about 90 seconds. Remove the Lagun table, rearrange the cushions flat across the bench base — done. We walk you through it at pickup and it's covered in the guide. The high roof means you can sit fully upright in bed.
