Frequently asked questions

Q.

What flexibility is available for picking up and dropping off the RV?

A.

Modified pick up and drop off times are available with prior coordination and subject to availability.

Q.

How do the electric, water and sewage hook up work while setting up at the campground?

A.

We provide a plug in for charging and hose for fresh water. The toilet is a cassette type and must be dumped on accordance to the campsite.

Q.

Are there any special tricks and tips that would help with operating the RV easily?

A.

The Storyteller Crew Mode is powered by lithium batteries and are charged via driving, solar power, and external hookup. They power the electrical and environmental comfort system. The water is heated and has a continuous heating loop powered via diesel. The lunarloft (pop top) is hard sided, has its own heating and cooling control panel and is powered to raise and lower via electronic panel. It is easy to deploy provided clearance requirements for extension are met.

I am an Army Vet, airline pilot, and dog mom to two amazing Golden Retrievers, Luna and Stormy. I love mountain biking, hiking with my dogs, and exploring the West Coast from Alaska to Arizona. I own an Airbnb in Girdwood, Alaska, that is design- and health-focused, and I look forward to providing you with the same experience with my Storyteller Overland Crew Mode.
