I am a VW enthusiast, and wish I had more time to use this camper van myself. I hate to see it sitting in my driveway unused!

This was a very nostalgic VW and we had a grand adventure in it. The host was very helpful and the communication was solid. Would rent again.

We really enjoyed our trip to Zion and Grand Canyon national parks! The van drove great, even in the occasional 100 degree weather. Grateful that there were several fans in the van because the A/C did not work. When we experienced issues with the battery and power related to char...

I would suggest Tupperware with a lid for the utilities to keep them dust free. The carpeting...

Driving the White Rocket was quite an experience. It took us through Chaco canyon and part of theJemez with moxie. The vehicle was a hit with passersby.
