5.0Jake’s RV was well equipped, easy to drive, and very comfortable. It was very easy to pick up and drop off, and communicating with Jake was easy. Between the battery and the diesel-driven heater, we were able to be 100% off the grid in the woods for four days. Would definitely rent again.

5.0Jake’s Beast Mode van was exactly what we needed to get the most out of our trip. Couldn’t ask for a better host or van. Pickup and drop off was a breeze and we were shown all important features. Easily ran a couple days off grid and was able to handle all driving conditions with ease. Can’t wait to take another trip with it.

5.0Jake and his rig "The Beast" was the best experience - Very clean and very together as a camping / traveling machine. Jake was very patient and took the time to go over all the incredible options that the Mercedes "Beast" edition had to offer. This rig will definitely be our go to for future camping excursions.

5.0Lots of features and very luxurious for a camper van. Didn’t use many of the amenities like shower, toilet, or 4wd since we stayed at a campground and drove only on paved roads, but would be nice to have for a proper adventure. The kitchen is great for cooking. We used it a few times to make Mac and cheese and to boil water for coffee in the morning. Comfortable bed and sitting/dining area
