since all 3 of us were even older than 'ol Betsy' we kinda knew what we were getting and were more than happy going back to the 'analog' like days of driving and camping. (ie the steering wheel is just a steering wheel, no more and no less). Marissa and Mitch were always ready with answers and solutions-the essential (for us) rear mounted bike rack they added for example. Highly recommended if you re not in a hurry...and why would you want to be?
Marisa’s answer
Thanks for this awesome review Chris! You guys were such easy going renters, so happy we were able to help with the bike rack add-on for you to get some pedalling in! So glad you had a great trip and saw some amazing spots of the Yukon to enjoy, bike around, camp and have an overall great vacay! Always welcome to come back and rent her again (p.s. the lights are also good to go!) :)

Exactly as advertised!
Ol’ Betsy was exactly as we expected. Yes, she’s *mature* but she’s also statuesque, comfortable and reliable - a vintage gem! My husband and I had an amazing week in her seeing so many places in Yukon. Betsy was equipped with the basics - there wasn’t anything we wished we had while staying in her. Marisa was very communicative and available for any questions before and during the rental period. She made sure we felt comfortable with the vehicle before we left and her user manual had everything we needed in it. We would highly recommend seeing Yukon in Ol’ Betsy. What an adventure!

We rented the van in late May for 10 days. We had a fantastic time going all over Yukon with it: Allyn, Whitehorse, Dawson, Thombstone. Its old and not fast but it was still absolutely perfect. The van is more compact compared to those other RV so it was easy to park just anywhere to sleep for the night. There is everything you need in it: kitchen, bed, storage, water, etc. We liked it so much, it made us want to start shopping for one lol.
The price is very good too: more expensive than renting a car, cheaper than renting a car + Airbnb.

Could not have asked for a better home for our 8 days of adventuring in the beautiful Yukon! Ol' Betsy took us to places like Carcross Desert, Dawson City, Kluane National Park, and up and down the picturesque Dempster highway, adding extra aesthetics to the gorgeous fall foliage of Tombstone. Driving it was very comfortable, easy, and fun! Already missing our trip and our cozy nights in the van!
P.S. The owners are super communicative, friendly, and very helpful in terms of questions and everything!

Thank-you Yasaman for the review! Yourself and Jarrett were amazing renters and took such great care of our Ol’Betsy. So stoked you were able to see so many wild Yukon animals and of course the beautiful fall colors! Sounded like an amazing trip and you enjoyed cruising around with our Betsy! You are always welcome to come back-up and rent her again :)

Right from the time Betsy was booked till the last day of my trip, I felt the hosts (Marisa & Mitch) had my back. They provided all the information I needed about the campervan and ensured she was clean and well stocked. I always knew the hosts were only a phone call or text away…although I didn’t need to call as Betsy performed like a trooper. Marisa & Mitch were a pleasure to meet and I wouldn’t hesitate to book Betsy again!
Marisa’s answer
Thank-you so much for your review Judy! We loved getting to meet you, and we were so glad despite the rough wildfire conditions in the northern parts of the Yukon that you were able to make it up there with Betsy to see Tombstone!

Marisa and Mitch were great hosts, super nice and very helpful. They even went out of their way to accommodate our dates, and always answered any questions or concerns quickly, even when they were off the grid on their own vacation. We really appreciate them making our trip possible and very memorable! Thank you for everything!

Great trip. Marisa and Mitch are very professional and communicative. The Van worked perfectly well, despite its old age. The bed was very comfortable and we had enough propane for our weeks trip. Thank you very much Marisa and Mitch!
Marisa’s answer
Thank you for the very kind review Jean! We loved hearing about your trip, glad we were able to extend your trip an additional day, and that you had such a great time exploring the Yukon with our Ol' Betsy! Glad everything work well and you enjoy the comfort of it all! Take care and please come back up and rent from us again!

Nice vintage RV for two people! We felt a bit like in Strangers Things.
Marisa’s answer
Thank you Isabelle for choosing Betsy for your Yukon adventure and the kind review! We are so glad you enjoyed travelling around in it and the vintage character it brought! It was great to hear you found other options to explore some of the places our van couldn't get to. All the best and you are always welcome to come back up here and rent our Ol' Betsy again :)

Good Ol' Betsy didn't fail us once. From Whitehorse to Tombstone Park it kept us safe.
We cooked meals on the propane stove, and some of us slept in it. We can confirm it is great for four people (Just make sure to have tents or hammocksso you don't have to stack yourselves on top of each other like fire wood).
Great owners as well! Assisted promptly with a last minute booking request.

Thank you for the review Jordan! I’m so glad we were able to help you and you’re friends out having your initial rental not pan out. Sounds like you all had an amazing trip and went to some of the epics our territory has to offer. All the best and please rent from us again!

We had such a great time with Ol' Betsy! Marissa and Mitch made sure we had evrything we needed and were easy to contact if anything happened. Would rent Ol' Betsy again in a heart beat :)

I enjoyed meeting Mitch and Marisa and travelling in "o'l Betsy" I particularly liked the solar powered recharging for my cell phone. I did not cook in the van so have no comment on that part of the facility. It was nice to have the fridge. Everything worked well and the 1980 van was in good shape.
Marisa’s answer
Thanks for the review Wayne and we are so happy you enjoyed taking Ol' Betsy around to explore the Yukon! We would love to host you again, and thanks for the surprise beers in the fridge! All the best!
