  We loved our time with the Surf Hippo van. Everything worked as expected and the van allowed us to get the most out of our trip to Olympic. Travis is communicative, polite and knowledgeable about the area. Pickup and drop-off was smooth. Would highly recommend Travis' van for any trips in the PNW.

  Cathy and I thoroughly enjoyed our four days of comfortable travel in the Surf Hippo. It is one sweet van! The layout is both efficient and elegant.

  The perfect house on wheels to visit Olympic NP. Surf Hippo runs smoothly. Bed is comfy. Never runs low on battery. Kept us warm. Travis is responsive and helpful. Will definitely use this next time we visit!

  The Surf Hippo was great to us. Took it to all 3 national parks around Washington and it never gave us any fits on any of the mountain roads or anything. Bed was super comfortable, more comfortable than any Airbnb we’ve stayed at. Travis was super easy to communicate with and responded fast to any messages or issues we had.

  Travis was very communicative and the van was as advertised. 10/10 would rent this van again. The build was clearly very well thought out and made for a very comfortable trip.
