5À propos de Matt Ripperton
A former thru-hiker of the Appalachian Trail, and (most of) the Pacific Crest, and occasional peak-bagger, my adventuring took on a different format when we had our 2 kids, and 2 furry friends as well. Weekending and road trip vacations became the best way to introduce our family to the wide world and all the astonishing places in it. We started renting camper vans on Outdoorsy and were hooked by the freedom and comfort a roving home base could provide. Our favorite trips have been Yosemite and Sun Valley, but anywhere we can go together in the van is an occasion!

Matt offered us his van, which was a little different from our campervan in France. It corresponded to what we were looking for, although it exceeded our budget.
For foreigners, expect 3% additional bank fees.
We took possession of the van in Salt Lake City. Sarah kindly explained how the vehicle works and we left delighted to tour 15 National Parks.
The superb personalized paint job of the van quickly made us want to give it a little name: Chameleon, it suits it very well.
We took advantage of the top bed as well as the bottom bed when the weather was cold or windy.
The accessories for meals (dinette, microwave, kettle and induction hob) or the toilet (Dry Flush toilet, shower) are sufficient. We just added a toaster for our gourmet mornings.
Small tables can be placed in several places and the curtains protect from the cold.
Caméléon drives well and is very pleasant to drive, the GPS helped us a lot to reach our destinations, important for us foreigners.
Towards the end of the trip we had an electrical failure. Matt did everything possible to help us. As the weather was very nice, the sun was enough to recharge the batteries during the day, so we were able to finish the planned circuit despite everything. The trip turned into an Adventure to conquer the American West almost like the first pioneers!
A discovery of a magnificent part of this great country, we saw a thousand and one wonderful things, animals, extraordinary geological structures, Route 66, Las Vegas, park campsites, BLM, etc ...
Our memories are linked to our valiant Caméléon who took us everywhere we wanted, it's great.

Matt and Sara are so friendly and easy to reach. They gave us a detailed tour of the van before we left. They checked in with us during the trip to make sure we didnt have any questions.
We would definitely rent from them again
