can I sleep anywhere in a camper van?

Anywhere is a very broad term but our vehicles are discrete enough to park most anywhere, so long as you’re respectful of your surroundings. Always check for signs that say “No Overnight Parking” or “No Camping” if you’re planning on boondocking. We recommend camping at either designated campgrounds or dispersed camping on federally designated land.

will I be warm enough camping in the winter?

Our camper vans are well insulated and have kept renters comfortable in cold conditions. Our jeep tents aren't as warm as our camper vans as they're similar to tent camping. We recommend bringing warm clothes to sleep in (just in case) and to review the average temperatures of the destination ahead, so you’re best prepared.

Many of our newer rental vehicles do have off-grid heat/air conditioning systems as well.

will I be cool enough camping in the summer?

Yes! All our camper vans have dashboard AC and include roof fans installed over the bed. Our jeeps have dashboard AC only. We don't recommend camping in greater Phoenix in the middle of July but summers are a great time to get out of the desert and explore northern Arizona, Utah, and California instead.
