Über Brian and Cathy Geraths

We're the international Brady Bunch. My three US-born kids, Cathy's two kiwi sons, we always had a seven-seater for our travel-loving family. COVID hit ... trip to France cancelled ... we bought our beloved Zen Den. Serendipity is part of our daily lives, so I had to play with the vinyl lettering on the Serenity, we nicknamed it SerenDIPity. It has lived up to its name for us. Last-minute decision to flee the country for the 4th of July '23, no time to reserve the Canadian ferry - "let's go take our chances..." Of course it was an amazing trip, especially when we discovered that it was also Canada Day - our idea that leaving the US was clever?.. We had plenty of time to laugh at our love of adventure while we waited for a couple of Ferrys ... our hotel-on-wheels didn't overlook Victoria BC - it put us right in the middle of the best place to hang out. There's a great bed in the back, we really weren't too worried about sleeping on the Ferry dock with high-level security. (HA) Basically - that's just who we are. We love to plan, Cathy is amazing at it, but sometimes it's fun to just trust the Universe and go. This van is rarely sitting in our driveway. We keep our plans loose (most of the time) so that we can share it with others. We've rented our share of AirBnB's, we've had plenty of conversation about what we loved or how we would "do it" if we ever entered the hospitality scene. We've really had fun doing this. If your rental is to "kick the tire" of an LTV, you came to the right place to get a feel. What they put into this van nearly a decade ago has been plenty for us. The auto-stabilizers in the new one would be great but I'm a former backpacker that loves stacking legos (leveling blocks, I prefer Legos) We have two full sets for you Army Corps or US FS Campers ...this van is not for off-roading but sure turns Boondocking into glamping when you can sleep without blood rushing to your feet or head. :^)
