Doug may not be the most beautiful van from the outside, but he's got a fresh new interior with lots of work put into the engine and mechanical components in the last year so you can rest assured she'l get you where you need to be. The interior features a nice deep sink, space heater, two marine batteries, propane stove, plenty of storage, a pop up kitchen table and a wholeee lot of character.
Not to mention, Doug also runs on Propane! This will help you save loads on fuel when driving around a rolling sofa from the 80s. He gets 600-700 kms per fill (roughly $150-180 to fill) and drives like a dream on his brand new tires.Doug has a (almost queen) sized bed that folds out from the couch (which also has 3 seatbelts for passengers), and a high top conversion that stands 6'2 tall so you don't have to crawl around your home on wheels.Cosa è inclusoDoug comes with utensils, cookware, bedding & linens, and an extreme cool factor.
Additionally, if you intend to go snowboarding/skiing, or surfing, Doug can be equipped with roof mounted ropes to hang up said gear.
He may also be optioned with a 4 bike rack if you so choose.
•200kms/day includedRaccomandazioniThe Rockies are no stranger to Doug, travelling through Banff, Lake Louise, or making the trek to Jasper are only some of the breathtaking destinations that this bad boy can take you. If you're feeling very adventurous, Doug would even be up to the task to venture from coast to coast, for a second time!Altre cose di cui prendere notaBeing 40 years old, Doug does have a few quirks that should be acknowledged. This includes things like a sliding door that can occasionally be tricky, roll up windows that give your arm a slight workout, and a dashboard light that works its hardest but can be tricky to see at times.
Some base rules for Doug:
- No smoking inside Doug
- No Off-roading (Doug is a great highway cruiser but does not do well with harsh roads, trust me, I've tried)
- Dogs are allowed upon special approval

Hi! My name is Jean-Luc, as the son of two flight attendants I've always had a passion for travel and adventure. Growing up right next to the rocky mountains has made the perfect playground for all the activities I've fallen in love with. After living in my van for a few months and surfing everyday I figured I could make a little business out of renting these awesome adventure vehicles out. Now I hope for you to enjoy my vans and make amazing memories just as I have.
