We enjoyed our first campervan rental and were very impressed by the kindness and professionalism of everybody at Escape Campervans that we spoke to. We're normally tent campers, but weren't looking forward to winter camping, so decided to try out a van. Bed inside was fairly comfortable, much better than a sleeping pad on the ground - and warmer!. Rented the rooftop sleeper which our 6 foot sons weren't incredibly comfortable in -- they said it was hard to stretch out. Enjoyed having the mini-fridge in the van - it held quite a bit for a small fridge. 1/2 gallon milk cartons - 3 of them; half and half; lunch meat; cheese; condiments. Check your equipment before you leave! We were supposed to have been given 5 chairs, but only ended up with 2 (didn't find that out until we were hours away, in the middle of the desert.) The company made it right and paid us back for 3 more chairs we purchased a few days later when back in a town - but a bummer to not have the chairs our first two nights.... wished we would have checked before we took the van from the lot. The one piece of information we wished we would have been told before taking the van out, was info about the tires. We live in Colorado and had to cross over two mountain passes going in and out. On the way home, Colorado's "traction law" was in effect. We spent close to an hour in a storm trying to put chains on the van's tires because it was real-wheel drive. We were told upon return, after asking a question about the tires, that the tires were mud-rated so we didn't need to put the chains on. We really wished we would have been told that at the outset - it would have saved us a lot of stress, time, comfort, and sanity. Ask about your tires if renting and find out if the traction law applies to you!! Enjoy your trip!
