About Danielle

Born and raised in Montana, I've spent my adult life traveling. I've lived in 7 different countries but currently call Los Angeles home. I am a high school teacher by trade so I have summers free to roam the country in the van and even took a year off to travel all over with my two dogs and two cats. I built this van so I'm extremely knowledgeable about its capabilities and nuances, so feel free to ask any questions.

Memories made on trips with Danielle Battee's RVs

We had a great time in Dan the Van! Danielle (owner) was very accommodating & had everything we didn’t even know we needed. Camping in her van is so much better than tent camping, plus, you take your house with you wherever you go. I would highly recommend using Dan the Van again! Lisa

Dan the van was great! my husband and I had a wonderful time exploring glacier national park through van camping. the van has everything you need and is super user friendly. you can really tell the level of detail and thought that went into the design. communication with the host was also very easy. would definitely recommend!

What a great Van!! So much fun and extremely easy to drive. the large windshield gave us the perfect view of Glacier National Park. it really was awesome. Danielle is great. she was easy to work with and a great communicator. I highly recommend renting this Van which was very well equipped and easy to use. So what are you waiting for? Go rent the van and get out in nature, adventure awaits!!!!

We rented the van for 3 weeks and apart from some minor issues everything went really great. When there was an issue she answered really fast and explained everything really good to fix it. The van has everything you need and is comfortable for a longer trip of 2 persons.

The trip, as well as the RV itself, was amazing. Communication with Danielle was very smooth from the beginning; she was flexible, responsive, and easy to work with. The van was very convenient, and we enjoyed our California trip to the fullest. Highly recommended! :-)

Everything was perfect! Bed was comfy, car ran great, host was extremely communicative and flexible and made my trip significantly easier. Everything worked so well and was exactly what I needed. I took the van to Joshua tree for a few days and was so grateful to have the heater and be able to cook fresh meals and take a shower. I would absolutely rent this van again if I’m in the area!

We did a beautiful trip:
- Day 01 & 02 - Sequoia National Park
- Day 03 thru 06 - Yosemite National Park
- Day 07 - Morro Bay
- Day 08 - Santa Barbara
Dan the van kept us cool, dry and clean (shower is pretty nice) and had all the amenities we needed for a roadtrip like this. Thanks to Danielle for the responsiveness and building such a cool space.

The van was easy to drive and Danielle explained everything clearly. I would definitely rent from her in the future

Danielle is the perfect host! The van has everything necessary! No need to hook up at all! We would just wake up and head to a parking area and cook breakfast in the van before heading out for a day of hiking! Dan the van fits everywhere you need to go! We absolutely loved this very efficient way of travelling both the east and west sides of the Going to the Sun Road! It is not necessary to overthink this. Danielle has thought of everything!

Thanks so much for the review Susan and for taking such good care of Dan the Van. I'm so glad you enjoyed your adventure!

It had everything you need and want in a camper van for off grid living… easy to drive, too. Cooking, cleaning, sleeping, lounging, Dan has it all!
