Loved this rig ! The build is so thoughtfully designed, especially in using limited space. I usually expect some sacrifice between storage space, livable space, and sleepable space (possibly compromising with a lot of transforming effort), but this van easily covers all three. Definitely kept me close to nature and adventure-ready, but with the most natural and comfortable day-to-day use I’ve experienced in a conversion.

The Van was beyond amazing! It added so much character and experience to our road trip. Sleeping inside was comfy. There was ample space to keep our stuff. It drives smoothly and handles the road great. And as an added bonus you get an awesome vantage point for pictures when standing on the roof

Van Diesel was a blast to take around a Southern California national parks adventure! Alan made sure we had everything we needed to feel comfortable, it’s basically an Airbnb on wheels! Highly recommend 👍🏼

Van Diesel was the best camping experience I’ve ever had! Everything was easy to use and so convenient. Alan was such a pleasure to work with during the entire trip also. Definitely plan on taking more trips and referring everyone I know. Thanks Alan for an amazing experience!

I live in SD and rented Van Diesel to take my family on a 9 day road trip through Utah. Honestly I was a little nervous at first because I have never used one of these sprinter vans, but Alan sent us all the videos we needed to orient ourselves which made planning and using it super easy .The reason I rented the van was because my family loves to camp, but my parents are in their 60's so we wanted to provide a more comfortable way to travel and so they had a legitimate bed for the 8 nights. They absolutely loved the bed and my whole family loved traveling in the van. It provided and incredible way for us to all see the national parks like Arches, Canyonlands, Zion, Bryce Canyon etc. It was a super fun and comfortable way to travel. We were able to work from our lap tops using the table in the back on long drives as well.

Van Diesel was an incredible experience. My wife and I drove it for the weekend up to San Onofre for a little surf getaway. The Van was clean and incredibly well thought out. The fact that I could also easily store my gear in the box in the back was an incredible addition. Alan was super helpful when picking up the van. I look forward to renting it again this fall to take up to Mammoth.

Glad to hear you had a great experience in Van Diesel! Look forward to seeing you soon for the Mammoth adventure!
