We love getting off the beaten path, and camping in the wilderness...which is something you can't do with a large motorhome...so we purchased a nimble Ford Expedition and converted it to our style of camping rig...one that can take you almost anywhere you want to go offroad in the BLM and Forest Service areas, once that you can sleep in dry and comfortably, and one that you can set up camp and take it down easily and quickly. And, we've decided to share our "Overlanding Expedition" with you as well. Shoot us a message to ask us any questions you like, and make sure to book it before it gets rented out to other awesome like-minded folks like yourself! :-)

We're pretty "Zen" about the whole thing. This is a vehicle built to enjoy...and in the process of enjoying, sometimes accidents happen. It's been well-loved, and there's already a few scratches and dings on it...so if something happens while you have it...no huge issue...just let us know and we'll work it out! We're pretty easy-going...just treat it as well, or better, as you would your own vehicle, and I'm sure we'll be good. :-)

Really fun time most everything prepared and as advertised!! Set up some nice 24-48 camping in Sedona. The fridge is a huge bonus. Bed slides out and there’s a lot of cooking utensils etc.

We had so much fun using the campervan! It was perfect for the two of us and it had everything we needed to camp, cook, sleep, and shower. I can’t wait to come back and do it again! Very friendly and responsive, everything was easy to find and use.
