Winter:
- Heated mattress pad. Really nice when needed.
- Diesel cabin heater, great for cold mornings and evenings (works with engine off)

- easy-on "Alpine" chains available. Possible icy roads = double security deposit; but the van handles well on all the ice I've encountered.
Bed: Fold-down the mattress to convert from day to night mode. For two people, insert a foot platform, it takes 30 seconds. It's a firm queen mattress. I sleep better here than anywhere else.More photos:

Goose was great. Old but very reliable. We had all the accommodations we could need and Zach was great with his communication.

Our trip with Goose was perfect. The van was comfortable, well-equipped and easy to drive. Zachary went above and beyond to accommodate the logistics of our trip. We’re looking forward to next time.

Goose and Zach are the best! We had an amazing time camping in Ukiah with our pup. Zach did a really great job guiding us through how to work the van and any small things like needing to put a little extra oomph into closing the back door or how to swivel the passenger seat. Pick up and drop off we’re so smooth and easy. Remember to bring your own sleeping bags/comforter and pillow. The heat wasn’t currently working, but we did use the heated mattress pad on a particularly cold night, which was super nice. Overall, Goose is a beginner-friendly option for folks looking to do some adventuring.

Please don't do things in the van that are going to leave lasting odors. Take photos, have an awesome trip!

Frequently asked questions

Q.

Can I leave a car at pickup.

A.

Yes. The Goose has three locations Walnut Creek where you can pet our horses, San Francisco where I have a smallish garage, and Roseville. Let's discuss the particulars, it's possible.

Just me and a couple of vans I built to explore what's possible as far as features, ergonomics, and pleasing finishes.
