  The van was such a fun experience! Kevin was very helpful during our trip since the throttle went out, luckily we got back on the road during our trip, but he had a plan just in case it wasn’t an easy fix. The van fit 4 of us. There was no heating so if you use it in the winter bundle up. Easy pick up and drop off(:

  We had an awesome time!! Such a great van with everything you need to explore Alaska. Would highly recommend.

  We used the van for a couple big joys. One was our family vacation to Salmonfest. Then after that, we held a unique wedding using Vincent as part of it. It was beyond magical.

  We had an awesome time in Vincent and turned heads everywhere we went. My 15 year old son even thought it was “cool.” Everything worked well, and we slept peacefully each night. I couldn’t more highly recommend Vincent, and we will be back the first chance we get. Anytime we had questions, Kevin was quick to reply with helpful answers. He was the perfect host.

  TLDR: You will not regret renting this camper. Seriously, do it! I spent over 10 days in Frank and it was one of the best experiences I have had on the road as an experienced overlander. Kevin from Look like a Local is the most helpful and will ensure you are well taken care of. He goes above and beyond to make sure you are having a good time with recommendations on places to go and any help you need with the rig…
