Host rules

This Adventure van is easy and fun to drive, but it does require a little extra awareness. Please review and follow these rules to keep everyone safe and the van in great condition.
---
🚐 Driving & Safety, Mind the height – 10.5 feet, and be aware of low bridges, parking garages, drive-thrus, tree branches, and overhangs. When in doubt, don’t go under it.
---
🚐 Take wider turns, This is a long and tall vehicle. Give yourself extra space when turning and maneuvering.
---
🚐 Slow down for curves, If the speed limit drops for a curve, reduce to that posted speed. The van has a higher center of gravity, and taking curves too fast can cause loss of control and interior items to shift.
---
🚐 Maintained roads only, No off-roading. Please stay on paved or maintained gravel roads suitable for standard passenger vehicles.

✅ Walk around the vehicle and make sure the power cord, awning, and bike rack with bikes is stowed properly
