Just my wife and I renting our favorite toys so that others can enjoy them too. No big business here - text us and we'll answer. We're in Beeler Park, right off I-70 and US-36, 10 mins from I-225. We're on the way to pretty much anywhere in CO from Denver International Airport.

We had a lovely experience with Piper. The bed is comfortable, and they went above & beyond to meet our needs (i.e. extra pillows for comfort...thank you!!!). Michael was awesome with our tutorial and the van is stocked perfectly with dishes, coffee, cookware, camping chairs, levelers, plugs galore, easy magnet window covers, etc. Hot water is super easy with their van over some others we have rented prior. The height of the bed is great for easily accessing luggage beneath. We would rent her again! Thanks, Michael & Jenni!

This was our first RV trip, as we historically just did tent-camping. We had a blast. 2 adults and 2 kids, staying warm on some chilly nights. The hosts made the process very enjoyable, with a very patient walk-through as I learned how to operate the systems. After having battery powered systems, a generator, and freshwater tank, I'm already thinking about some more remote camping I'd like to do. The Cabbunk system worked well and both kids slept all through the night. The kids repeatedly described the experience as 'luxurious'. I didn't think we'd use the microwave, but it came in handy to soften some baked apples for morning oatmeal. These little comforts made this such an enjoyable experience. Although the bathrooms in our campground were new and clean, having the cassette toilet came in handy with the kids during the multi-hour drive. I'm a tall guy, and my feet hung off the bed. But that's pretty minor and tall folk are used to this.

This van has it all! If you're planning on being off the grid, it's got everything you need to make the trip enjoyable. Even if you're just doing car camping, it provides a great staging vehicle to keep food cold and everything dry. The bike racks are great to bring up to 6 bikes with you wherever you go.

We had a great time exploring what Colorado had to offer in Jenni and Mikes’ camper van. Great host and great communication throughout. Our two kids loved sleeping in the cabunk beds. Can’t say enough great things about the experience. I would definitely recommend them if even remotely plan on camping. Thank you for everything Jenni and Mike

There are a few things to note regarding this particular Camper van. My family had a fabulous experience, but we very narrowly avoided multiple potential disasters.
The rooftop tent very nearly came off the roof while we were driving: I caught it sliding sideways, barely secured by the last of the 4 bolts holding it in place. You can imagine that a 300lbs object, 6-feet across, falling off a 10-foot roof at highway speed and slamming into any vehicle behind (or worse, a pedestrian or cyclist) would have ended our holiday very differently.
The engine on the van gave us pause every day, literally. Before it warmed up very well, the diesel provided no power whatsoever when we started the car. I was warned by the owner about this, but only experienced the effect first-hand when we were dozens of miles from the nearest mechanic, parked on an incline, with a downslope toward a too-steep ravine. No cell coverage, of course. We managed to inch-out of that situation, but it was touch-and-go every morning when the engine was cold.
The owner made a big deal of how self-contained and off-the-grid the van is (solar power, generator, propane tank big enough for weeks away) but failed to include a hose that would let us fill up the water tank! We left civilization behind with 25 gallons of water for 9 days: that worked out to less than a gallon of water per day. Simple-enough problem to remedy, but not in the back country. This is very much a bring-your-own-hose-on-the-holiday kind of a deal.
Finally, there were the doors. This is a big, brutish van. Things slam heavily, especially when you’re not looking. Even for adults that could be a danger of getting a finger or limb stuck somewhere where it isn’t supposed to be. With kids, I was constantly terrified one of them would get some appendage smashed into pulp. Nothing happened, luckily, but something to consider on a trip with the little ones.

Oh boy, where do I start. In 3 years of renting our van I have never had a renter like you nor do I ever wish to have one again.

Our 2022 Colorado Van trip was amazing and we very much enjoyed all aspects of #vanlife for the week. The van drove flawlessly, was easy to park and we had no issues during the trip. Extra STAR just for the coffee machine! Mike and Jenni were great, communicative hosts and I would highly recommend. Oh the places you will go!

We had a great time in "Piper". The van is equipped with everything you would need. Super comfy bed.
Michael was very thorough in explaining all of the van's features.
We reached out to Michael while on our trip with a question on one of the vans features and he got back to us right away.
Thank you,
Mike

Just spent 5 nights in the van with my wife and our two kids (4 and 6). We had a great time traveling around CO and the van made it so easy. The van is taller and longer than an average vehicle, but with it’s backup camera and large mirrors I felt very comfortable driving. It was also super convenient to have everything we could want with us along the way: sink with running water, mini fridge, microwave, hot plate, and even a Keurig coffeemaker. The van was also very comfortable. The large queen bed was great and seemed spacious even if the kids did end up climbing in too. There was also a smaller air mattress and a Cabbunk system that made kid-sized bunks over the drivers seats. There is a roof ventilation fan that kept the van very comfortable (every day was 80-90+ on our trip) and there is a large AC/heating system that quickly cooled the van on hot evenings. The camp grounds we stayed at all had showers, but if they didn’t the van does have a hook up for an outdoor hand held shower. We used it to wash off our dusty feet after a day of hiking.
Van is a looker too, tons of compliments everywhere we went. Owner was super friendly and accommodating. They even stocked the van with some camp chairs and a few kids toys.
