This van is great! I have never driven a van of this size, but it was much easier than I thought even on the narrow mountain roads! The most important amenities for camping, as I get older.- toilet, shower and a comfortable bed. Spud provides all of those , plus more. I enjoyed the awning , the heavy duty screen , black out covers for windows and the fan that sucks hot air out! The owners are great to work with and accommodating for early and late pick up/drop off!

Spud was perfect. The van had everything we needed for the time we spent camping in the sawtooths. Spud allowed us to camp in some of the most beautiful off grid locations. Quinn and Bri were very professional and friendly. We would absolutely love to rent Spud again!

We had so much fun with Spud. We decided to rent a camper van for a friend's wedding we were in town for. Spud had everything we needed in it. Bri was so helpful and showed us everything we needed to know and answered all of our questions. Bri was responsive from the very beginning and accommodating of our travel schedule. As our first time staying in a van, it was easy to follow all of the instructions and operate all the systems. Not to mention the mattress was so comfy! We would definitely rent Spud again and are inspired to begin our own van adventures!

We had an amazing trip with SPUD! We started in Boise and went to the hot springs in Idaho City, took in a show at Garden Valley, Jet boat ride with Kilgore Adventure, rafting, and Route of the Hiawatha. If you are looking for adventure take SPUD with you! Bri and Quinn are amazing!
