À propos de Mike Kane

For the better part of a decade I’ve been a documentary photographer based in Seattle. In the early days as a freelancer I needed a vehicle that I could live in for indeterminate lengths of time, work out of comfortably, and go just about anywhere. The van was always been a trusty companion, affording me high levels of comfort and security while I worked. Later, around the time my son turned 2, it became just as important to get our family out camping as it was for me to travel for my job, and the van sort of became another family member. The beauty of a Westfalia is you don't need to plan as much. We've been on countless spontaneous trips that we otherwise wouldn't have taken, and the memories of course are invaluable. So many of our friends that we've camped and traveled with have thought of owning a Westfalia, but affordable vans in reliable condition aren't easy to come by. As I began doing more and more mechanical work, pushing myself to do bigger and bigger jobs, I realized I had an opportunity. I could share this thing that I enjoy so much, and in turn expand my own knowledge and interest. From there all I needed was a name (and a few more vans).

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 wanting to experience the Westfalia.

Awesome week!! Super easy to make camp each night, the van is setup with everything you could possibly need, and driving was fun!
Mike gave us a rundown of how everything works before we left, and everything worked great for our week.

The van was great and Mike went the extra mile to make sure we had everything we needed for our trip — including great recommendations for places to stay. We loved it.

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

The experience with Dutch out in the wild simply made the trip. The van has everything you need from a multi-tool and head lamp to a full kitchen with 10 gallons of water storage. Very capable for a 2wd vehicle and extremely mechanically sound for an older van.

The whole experience was fantastic. The service, The van, and of coarse Olympic National Park. Nate was super easy to work with and more than accomidating to us. We received a full run through of the Westfalia and a quick preview drive around the block and we were set to go. The van comes fully decked out and ready for a week full of adventure. We received Dutch, a mechanically sound Westfalia that was the perfect choice for camping in the PNW. If your on the fence, I would definetly say that Black Forest Westfalia is a great choice that you will be happy with.

Amazing experience. I have rented a lot of vans and campers, this was by far the best. Personal service, great product, will definitely be renting from them again.

We couldn't have had a better trip! Our van was clean, fully stocked, and so much fun. Can't wait to plan our next rental!

Phenomenal van and even better people to work with. Nate has clearly poured a ton of time and love into his van and the experience of driving it totally conveys that.
