2008 Honda Element Ecamper
Introducing the Honda Element "Ecamper"; conversion build number 733, performed in Spring, 2022 by the manufacturer Ursa Minor Vehicles in Portland, Oregon, enabling an economical mini-RV experience in a comfortable and highly maneuverable package.Extended multi-day pricing discount in effect, see Pricing header.Summer minimum rental booking period is 4 nights.My well-maintained 2008 Honda Element EX (2007-2011 are the favored year-models), is ready for the Alaska road system or just the local area, year-round. This Element is recent to Alaska from the east coast, making it one of the nicest ones I've seen on the streets around here.The ECamper unit is factory-wired with LED reading lights, a dome light and a 12V power outlet, all connected directly to the vehicle battery, eliminating the need for the ignition to be on. In other words, I opted for all the upgrades.Its set of warm season tires are new as of July, 2024.For winter operations, it's fitted with a set of Nokian Hakkapiilitta-10 studded snow and ice tires for the maximum in upper-latitude winter traction and secure footing; that’s in addition to the automatic all-wheel-drive.Be prepared to answer queries from curious onlookers. It may well be the first ECamper they've seen.Cosa è incluso• bear defense spray; 2 units.
• laundered sleeping bags & towels, linens for up to 4 persons.
• 1 or 2 burner propane stove and gas, as desired.

I'm a resident of Anchorage, Alaska making a living as a cargo airline pilot augmented by aerial landscape photography from a very small airplane as seen at . As with my own 76-year-old Luscombe 8E and the Boeing 737 freighters I operate for a living, maintenance is taken seriously and methodically on all of my vehicles. A maintenance-related accident or being stranded on the remote Alaska road system—or anywhere else—is a serious proposition, be it for safety or simply for the continuance of a long-planned vacation.

Dean was incredibly easy to work with. He provided everything we needed to make the trip a complete success. The roof top tent was surprisingly comfortable. The Element was just the right size, making the travel very nimble and economical. We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation and we would definitely seek out Dean for our next Alaskan adventure.

We are a couple staying in the E-Camper for 10 nights and we loved it!
Pros:
- E-Camper set up in 3 seconds (compared to 15 mins tent set up we used to do) and it’s really warm and cozy inside, shielding us from strong cold winds and rain at night
- The car is in perfect size, easy find parking spot at popular trailheads. I’ve seen many RVs having difficult time maneuvering for parking and thankful we chose this car.
- This may sound shallow but the car was born to be photographed with any Alaskan view.
Cons:
- the only thing I can think of is inside the E-Camper is a bit small for 2 ppl to move around freely but after a few nights we figured out a way to do things in there
Overall so impressed with this car. Dean was also a perfect communicator and kindly picked us up at the hotel and dropped us off at the airport.

Wonderful and minimalist camping car! The host provided all essentials that we needed.
When ready to set camp, we would just get inside the car (and get the mosquitoes out), pop up the tent from inside and climb up to a cozy and properly light-blocked sleep.

Hai una domanda?Fatti rispondere direttamente dal proprietario
Q.I have full coverage for my personal vehicle. So, do I need to purchase Outdoorsy's insurance?
A.
The short answer is YES, and it is extra; and a significant percentage is deducted from my end as a service fee. My own full-coverage policy for this vehicle will not cover me (or anyone else) when rented, i.e., in commercial service. Outdoorsy's website and customer service go into depth on this subject. Their 24/7 telephone customer service has been responsive and helpful for me as an owner; I have no experience as a renter and can not address the subject of insurance authoritatively.
Q.What is an ECamper, according to the manufacturer?
A.
Here's Ursa Minor Vehicles' answer:
https://ursaminorvehicles.com/campers/ecc-camper-package.html
A search on YouTube will reveal numerous happy campers flaunting their ECampers. This was my search: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=ecamper+honda+element
Q.What are the dimensions of the ECamper sleeping area?
A.
85x50 inches (216x127 cm). The full-area mattress thickness is 2". Mattress thickness may be increased with a topper or underlayment, as yet to be determined. In my experience, however, the foam material selected by the manufacturer is of the correct firmness for its thickness, providing comfortable sleep support. The manufacturer's specifications here:
https://ursaminorvehicles.com/campers/element-camper/ecamper-specifications.html
Q.Can one actually get any sleep in the Ecamper without eyeshades during bright summer nights in Alaska?
A.
I believe the answer is yes. The synthetic canvas of the Ecamper's shell does a good job of blocking light. A greater consideration would be other people making noise at late and very early hours when parked at campgrounds, etc.
