****Just added (Included IN THE Price) High Performance High Speed Mobile Starlink WiFi so you can work in the back seat from the table (like I do) while someone else drives!! Then you're all caught up when you get to where you are going and can enjoy the time there!****
Bought brand-new in Mar 2023, beautiful, luxury Winnebago Solis, perfect for the winter.
Brand new snow tires just put on in Nov, extra insulation added throughout the walls and inserts cut for the windows to keep all the heat inside. Last year our 2 week trip to Banff in Canada, with other skii resorts along the way, really tested our winter transformation, and VANessa scored perfectly! VANessa even comes with chains included if you find yourself needing them. Perfect for ski camping in resort parking lots, snow parks, or BLM land. My husband and I snowboard and use our vans more in the winter than the summer. The generator means never worrying about running out of battery, even when there is limited sun for the solar. The powerful furnace keeps it warm and toasty all day for our pup who loves to tag along when there is a promise of snow. With the pop-top you can sleep 5 comfortably, if friends or kids want to join you, and it drives like a dream!
This is our 2nd Solis, we needed a bit more room than what the original offered, so this time I opted for the 59PX version that has spacious room in the back to store luggage, bikes, or gear. It even has an o-ring rail system to secure gear, hang items up, or use as a drying rack. Despite extra space, it still fits in most normal car parking spaces. The chassis, a Dodge Ram ProMaster, has all the bells and whistles, with smart car features. The upgraded backup cameras, electric mirrors to ensure you don't have blind spots, apple/android car play, touch screen display, and the new driver assist system in this model make it the ultimate van to drive! I'm only 5'2" and feel very comfortable navigating it anywhere. VANessa even reads speed limit signs to let you know when it changes! Big improvement from the older versions.
Luxury features include a full kitchen, Keurig coffee to ensure you stay properly caffeinated & enjoy the days adventures, w/o the mess of cleaning up coffee grounds. 2 burner stove, pull out counter extender, & additional table in the back for prep. If you're really into cooking, want a faster cooking option, or just looking for a more at home experience, there is a 2 burner conduction stove top option available.
An onboard built-in generator, as well as solar panels, ensure you are off-grid ready. You can boondock/dry camp (w/o plugging in at a camp site) as much as your heart desires. If you have plugg-in available at your camp site, you can use either 30 or 15 amp spots.
A powerful furnace keeps it toasty high up in snowy mountains, & AC keeps you cool on the hottest desert days. When you're back to VANessa after a long day hiking, biking, skiing, or any other adventure you have in store, there is hot water ready to greet you in either the indoor or outdoor showers.
There is a cassette toilet for the easiest and cleanest waste management system available, so you can go anytime nature calls. No messy cleanup and dumping is as sanitary as it gets.
A refrigerator w/freezer holds more food than you imagine. It looks small but is mighty deep, so far we haven't run out of space on trips, even w/ 4 adults in VANessa or our prior van.
Sleeping comfortably, there is a queen size murphy bed that sleeps 2 adults, the pop-top sleeps up to 2 adults, and there is a blow up bed that fits over the two captains chairs, a perfect space for a child to sleep.
We love VANessa and ask that you bring her back in the condition you received her in. Please spay off any mud, grime, or bug splatter, prior to your return at a self service car wash. Do not use a drive thru car wash, it must be a self service wash due to the van height.
When you cook inside, the fan must be on and the windows should be cracked open to allow ventilation. This is necessary when cooking with propane indoors, and it helps keep VANessa smelling great for the next customer.
Pick-up time at the start of your trip is 3pm and drop-off at the end is 11am. Please be on time, we do have same day turn arounds fairly often and if you're late, it effects the next guests experience. We need enough time to clean well in-between guests. If VANessa is not rented the night before your trip or the night of your return, we can be flexible with the return times. There is an early pick-up and late drop-off add-on option for a fee that can be applied on a case by case basis for a guaranteed earlier/ later time frame. If at anytime you want to guarantee an early pick-up or late drop-off, as long as it isn't already rented on the respective night before or after, then the add-on can be applied and the corresponding night will be blocked from other renters to ensure flexible timing.
Please strip used bedding and place it in a pillow case at the end of the trip.
Absolutely NO smoking.
Absolutely NO automatic car washes, drive thru windows, or parking garages of any kind. VANessa is too tall and will get stuck or damaged if you attempt any of those.
Absolutely NO off-road travel.
Lost key charge $300
Dog fee $150.
Dump fee $300 if the black and /or grey tanks are not dumped prior to return, unless pre-arranged and pre-paid.
Fill up the gas tank prior to return. If you are not able to fill up the gas prior to returning the van, there will be a charge of $50 plus the cost of the gas to fill the tank.
If there is excessive cleaning needed, there will be a minimum $200 fee added to any professional cleaning sevices needed. $100 per additional hour after 2 hours of cleaning. If professional services are required or additional airing out time is needed due to smoke or other odors, the entirety of your deposit will be forfeited in addition to any insurance claims filed as well.
