2019 Dodge Ram Promaster 1500
Welcome to our cozy humble abode on wheels! After previously living in a van for nearly three years in the rockies of Colorado, your hosts, Steve and Francesca, decided to share their love and passion for the outdoors by building out their dream four season adventure mobile & share it with you!Our van is a 2019 Ram Promaster ALL Season high top roof, with a 136 wheel base which makes it feel like your driving a small car, so it's great for anyone who isn't experienced with driving a van. Having a smaller vessel also makes finding a place to camp quite easy!Our van is equipped with 400 amp hours of battery and 400 watts of solar energy charging to keep you comfortable off grid for days on end. All appliances run off the electric, including the induction cooktop, fridge, thermometric control maxx air fan, and ample outlets to keep your electronics charged no matter how far in the backcountry you are!It is also fully insulated and stocked with a bluetooth Wabasto heater that runs directly off the gas tank, making our van perfect for powder hounding in the winter and for those chilly Colorado summer nights.We strongly believe in a good nights sleep to fuel your daily adventures so our sleeping arrangements include a fully adjustable EXped mattress, meaning you can make it as firm or as plush as you'd prefer, fluffy pillows, and more blankets than you could ever need :)We took into consideration our previous builds to ensure this one had all the necessities for a comfortable glamping experience to host some unforgettable memories in the mountains!Please feel free to reach out with any questions about our rental, we are more than happy to help!"it is better to travel well, than to arrive" ~BuddhaWhat's includedKITCHEN/DINNING

Best experience ever! I rented the van for a solo trip for 12 days and it had everything I needed. It was super easy to drive and the bed was insanely comfortable. Hosts are super responsive and very nice. I can't recommend this van enough and would rent again from them in a heartbeat!

This was our first trip in a van and it was fantastic! We took it all through Colorado and Utah and couldn't have asked for a better space to travel in! Steve was very helpful and communicative, would absolutely rent from them again!!
