Why Rent Our Revel?
This van exists because of how we’ve lived.
Before settling in Grand Junction, JoJo worked as a traveling Occupational Therapist and I work in the energy industry as a Project Manager, and the three of us — JoJo, Drew, and our dog Kira — spent nearly two years living on the road in a travel trailer. That life took us all across the country: Oregon, California, Colorado, Wyoming, Wisconsin, North Carolina, and Virginia. We have owned multiple recreational vehicles and learned firsthand what works, what doesn’t, and what truly makes time outdoors comfortable, simple, and memorable.
Between work schedules and travel contracts, we built a lifestyle around wandering, slowing down, and being outside together. This Revel is the result of that experience — set up intentionally so others can enjoy that same freedom without the trial-and-error.
What Makes This Revel Special
• True 4×4 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis — confident in snow, dirt, washboards, canyon roads, and mountain passes
• Starlink Mini high-speed satellite internet included at no additional charge
• Fully off-grid capable with lithium power + solar for flexible stays without hookups
• Comfortable sleep system with a powered lift bed, memory-foam topper, and full bedding included
• Functional kitchen with fridge/freezer, induction cooktop, sink, and fully stocked cookware
• Full wet bath (cassette toilet + shower) for true independence off-grid
• Large gear storage under the bed for whatever your adventure includes
• Pet-friendly — because our travels were always better with Kira along
Everything is organized, clean, and intentionally set up so your time is spent enjoying the outdoors — not figuring out systems.

Driving & Handling
If you’ve never driven a camper van before, you’ll love how approachable this one feels. The van is equipped with four factory-installed seatbelts and drives more like a large SUV than a traditional RV. Smooth steering, great visibility, a backup camera, and the ability to access places bigger RVs can’t. We take the time to walk you through everything so you leave confident.

Sleeping Arrangements
The powered lift bed creates a cozy, quiet sleeping space with good airflow. Bedding, pillows, and blankets are included — just climb in and rest. The rear seating area is also convertible into a twin size bed so you can comfortably sleep three people. You can utilize the lower garage area to accommodate a fourth with a sleeping pad and sleeping bag; ask us how we know.

Kitchen & Cooking
We stocked the kitchen the way we lived on the road: pans, pots, plates, utensils, cutting board, spices, olive oil, and more. The fridge stays cold off-grid, and the induction cooktop makes meals quick and easy.

Bathroom
Indoor shower, cassette toilet, and hot water — clean, private, and straightforward. We provide supplies and a simple walkthrough so there’s no guesswork.

Climate Control
• Diesel heater for cozy winter nights
• MaxxAir fan for airflow
• Insulated window covers for privacy and temperature control
• Air conditioning when plugged into shore power only

Outdoor Living
Camp chairs, outdoor table, lanterns, and a welcome mat make it easy to settle in. Morning coffee, sunset dinners, or stargazing — this space is meant to be used.

Why This Listing Stands Out
This Revel isn’t a side hustle or a fleet vehicle — it’s built from lived experience. We’ve slept in windy deserts, cold mountain passes, and quiet forest roads. We know what matters, and we’ve set this van up so you can focus on the moments that make trips special.
Our goal is simple: give more people the chance to wander, slow down, and enjoy time together outdoors — just like we did.
