Van #1 - GRETEL

About this RV

This is a fully restored, lifted and re-powered standard transmission 1983.5 VW Vanagon Westfalia. Vanagon Westys were already the world's most exquisitely designed camper vans, but with suspension and engine upgrades (Ford Zetec Dohc), we've done all we could think of to make ours even better. Simply put, there is no better vehicle for traveling and exploring the wilds of the Pacific Northwest. Gretel is a compact, nimble, aesthetic camper that parks and drives more like a car than an RV, but can sleep 4 adults comfortably and sports a fully functioning, propane-powered kitchenette.

  My wife and I rented a 1983 Westfalia for 5 days. The reservation process was smooth and efficient and when we arrived at the designated time and place the van was ready to go, and Mike was there to help us get oriented and make sure we understood how everything worked. There were no surprises, the van was well equipped, and everything worked as it was supposed to. We would highly recommend this company for anyone…

  We had an amazing time, the van fully capable to go to all the camping spots we wanted to go to; the van drover very well and the camping layout is fantastic. We had a minor mechanical problem on the road but were able to work through it on the phone with the owner and were on our way again to fun places. Great experience

  We were really impressed with the versatility and reliability of the van we rented. It was a great adventure vehicle that was comfortable to drive and sleep in. We all became big fans of Westfalia's after the trip. Thanks
