- Well-insulated.
- easy-on "Alpine" chains available. Possible icy roads = double security deposit; but the van handles well on all the ice I've encountered.
Bed: Fold-down the mattress to convert from day to night mode. For two people, insert a foot platform, it takes 30 seconds. It's a firm queen mattress. I sleep better here than anywhere else.

Host rules
We will give you an explanation of how to use the RV and its features. Please plan for an hour for this although it might be shorter.
No difficult off-road use that could damage the vehicle or get you stuck. Little access dirt roads are fine though, just go slow.
Please don't do things in the van that are going to leave lasting odors.
Take photos, have an awesome trip!
