Look Like A Local - "Vincent Van-Go" VW Westfalia Pop Top Camper Van

We had the best time with both Vincent and Hugo on a week long Alaskan road trip! Kevin was an exceptional host in terms of communication, care, tips and the work he has put into both vans. Highly recommend if you’re looking to camp during your visit to this beautiful state!

The week and a half we spent exploring the most beautiful state in the country with Vincent (or Vinny, as we lovingly called him) was one of the absolute best of our lives - and we owe a HUGE part of that amazing experience to our camper van and to Kevin at 'Look Like a Local'. First, Vinny: Fun, quirky, comfortable, well-equipped, and purrs like a champ even on some questionable Alaska roadways. Setting up at camp was as easy as popping the top and opening the beds. Vinny is definitely a head-turner, and we had a lot of fun conversations with people asking about him! He took us from Palmer up to Denali, through Hatcher Pass (don't sleep on Hatcher Pass - this place is AMAZING), to Talkeetna to meet the cat mayor, through Chugach, along the Turnagain Arm and down to Seward for a couple days of camping on the beach. Though he's an older van with vintage charm, he started up every time, kept us safe and cozy, and added a level of fun to the trip that couldn't have been achieved with a regular, boring old camper van. One-hundred stars!! Now, Kevin: Genuine, thoughtful, kind, caring, and someone you'll consider a friend from day one. Kevin made sure we had everything we needed for a wonderful trip, gave us a couple of suggestions for places to visit, made himself available for any questions along the way, and genuinely wanted us to have a great time. A wonderful human being all around. (Thank you for everything, Kevin! I'll never visit Alaska without renting one of your rigs!)

One of the best road trips I've ever done! Vincent was the perfect way to travel Alaska. If you are considering this... do it! Vincent's high clearance will take you everywhere and everything feels very accessible here anyway. Easiest way is to get an Uber up to Palmer from Anchorage as public transport is a bit tricky. Thanks so much!

The van was comfortable and with the upgraded engine was more peppy than standard WV vans. We had a blast staying in various places and were able to accommodate 3 people sleeping. We got a lot of honks and waves from people and comments about the bright green color. Solid you're a fan of VW busses you will love this van.

Vincent the van was fantastic and was a super fun addition to our camping trip. Kevin the host was awesome and a great communicator. We loved the experience and recommend both Vincent and Kevin! List of pros we used a lot: - comfy bed - charging unit & fridge - great views while driving due to the large windows - window covers to block sun when sleeping - head room with the top popped up - foldable chairs that we used a lot around the fire - towels we used for showers - aux cord for tunes One con: Getting into drivers seat takes physicality due to the height to get up...so if you're disabled that may be an issue. I'm 5'4", very fit, and it took a little practice but by the end of the trip I was getting up into the seat with no problem.
