“Cocoon” is a custom designed 2021 Ram Promaster 3500 extended van built for maximum comfort and adventure. This professional conversion by Interstate Vans, Tyngsborough, MA is fully equipped for boondocking or campgrounds and everything in between. Constructed in the early part of 2022, Cocoon embarked westward in April, on our first 3 month adventure. We are a repurposed couple and our dog Lucky, exploring the beauty and magic of our country. We welcome the opportunity to share our mobile tiny home with like minded people, while we spend time at our New England home base closeby to our 4 grandchildren.“The Lounge”…the U shaped couch converts to a queen size bed in just minutes.

The Cocoon was amazing! My wife and I rented from Donna (also amazing!) for a honeymoon roadtrip. The orientation was super thorough and they have a printed manual with everything that is kept in the van; no issues and everything was really intuitive. There is an instruments cluster over the sink which honestly made everything so easy as far as energy levels, heating, and potable/grey water levels.

We drove the Cocoon for a 2 month road trip across the US and were very happy with our experience. Donna was very responsive throughout the booking process and Marty was extremely thorough in explaining the rig; as well as quick to help with any questions or issues we had while on the road. The van was fully stocked with everything we needed for cooking and camping. The bed was comfortable and easy to assemble. Driving was easy and reliable. Would highly recommend the Cocoon -- Marty & Donna are great hosts!

Everything about this experience was perfect. We had a different rental cancel on us last minute and Donna/Marty saved us big time by accommodating our last minute rental request.
Donna’s answer
Great experience renting to Andrew. Van left and returned in perfect condition. Would happily rent to Andrew again!

Marty and Donna were excellent hosts and their Caccoon RV Van was well stocked with anything needed. I highly recommend them as hosts! Van was clean, and well designed and our own vehicle was kept safe at their location during the trip.

Donna's van is amazing! It has a huge comfortable bed, everything you need to make a great home cooked meal, plenty of power to where you don't need to worry about running out, shades for privacy on all windows (impressively custom-made), and the van drives great!
We took the van from pickup and to Vermont, doing a loop through New York and back through Western Mass.
The only issues we encountered were minor issues with the latches, which Donna had mentioned they are looking to replace to improve.

The van was so much fun and had everything we needed (and more)). The orientation was comprehensive and we felt ready for our adventure afterwards. There were no negatives at all and we would recommend this rental to all!
