My one week trip with Elwood was pure Alaskan magic! I thought I'd be "roughing it" at this price point but Eric stocked the van so well and anticipated a ton of needs, it was a super smooth trip even for a n00b like me. I never cared much for amenities in fancy hotels but in a camper van they sure are a treat (Cream sodas! Wipes! Olive oil! Bug and bear spray! Deep tire tread! Ice!). Eric explained all the ins and outs thoroughly during check in and later over text when I forgot everything. I'm already dreaming of doing my once in a lifetime trip a second time, but for longer!

Just returned from a 10-day Alaska adventure in one of their vans, and I can't recommend this highly enough!

Eric was a great host and answered all my questions for the months leading up to the trip! HE was very flexible when I had to change the dates a month out. The van itself was mechanically sound and very comfortable for me (6'0 tall if I laid diagonal). would definitely rent from Eric again for my next Alaska adventure!

Eric is one of the best hosts to come across on Outdoorsy. My experience with him and Nanook was phenomenal. His patience and understanding is abundant, because he still participates in the boondocking life. Next time you need a personal abode to get around the greater Anchorage area, look to the Badass Adventure Vans.

The van was amazing, had an awesome late season trip, the heater inside made all the difference, Eric is a great guy and helped us a lot along the way. Would recommend

Eric is a great guy. Was extremely helpful and communicative. Van ran really good, pretty good gas mileage as well. If you’re taller than 5’10” you’ll need to sleep at an angle to stretch your legs, but it’s a big bed. Van is loaded with helpful items for boondocking. I would rent again

I loved being in this van so much! Eric is super awesome and nice! Having this van made my Alaska adventure so incredible, it was the perfect size for me and for what I needed. Definitely would pick this van again!

This is a great camper if you’re ready for outdoor camping with some hard sides.
While it certainly did the trick, we felt like there were some issues we weren’t prepared for. For example, the doors don’t fully seal. When it dropped below freezing one night, we were VERY cold. Eric had an extra sleeping bag, which helped, but we didn’t expect to need it.
The doors also only unlock from each individual exterior door, so you have to walk all the way around to let any passengers in.
Last improvement I’d have loved to see was some privacy covers on the windows. There is a curtain separating the bed for when you sleep, but it’s not fully enclosed and the back windows are still exposed.

Eric was a great communicator and provided excellent support leading up to making the booking and during initial pick up.
The Van is the perfect amount of adventure and comfort for a mission from Anchorage.

Great vehicle for the price! It's not new and showing it's age, but the car loves outdoors, felt pretty good and capable on the road. We had it for a week, went to Seward, then took a ferry to Valdez and drove to Wrangel-st Elias National Park and then to Denali. Positives: 1. the host, Eric, is very nice and flexible in terms of picking us up and dropping off. Having vehicle delivered to the airport door is awesome. 2. Very well equipped for camping: all essentials: water, shower, poortable toilet, shower, electric station with power enough to boil an electric kettle, gas stove, bear spray, camping seats and table and many many more I forgot to mention. 3. Comfortable bed and enough of warm blankets. 4. Best rearview mirror than in anybcar I've had. It's important) Negatives? It's an older truck, so it's noisy and has some scratches. Has some quirks while driving in town, but it didn't bother us at all. Overall we had a blast on the road and while camping

We had a great time traveling with Eric’s camper van! It’s very well equipped, which made our trip very comfortable, and it was affordable, too. The description of the van on the webpage is completely accurate, so you know what to expect. What the page doesn’t mention is how friendly, helpful and communicative Eric is. He was easy going, responsive and helpful, both before and during our trip. If you are looking for a true Alaskan camper van experience, Eric is your guy.

We had an amazing experience renting Eric’s minivan for our Alaska trip! The minivan was very comfortable and perfectly equipped for living and cooking on the road. Eric even provided two fishing rods with tackle, which was such a great bonus! We didn’t feel like we needed to buy anything extra during our journey — everything was already included.

sing the van gave us the freedom to do many types of fishing and hiking. We ranged from Soldotna and down to Homer, ending up stopping in Hope and ending up near Talkeetna. We caught all 5 species of Pacific salmon, grayling, Dolly Varden, and Rainbow trout. It was the trip of a lifetime!
