Laura and Darral L.

“We were approaching retirement and looking for a vehicle to park in our downtown high-rise’s underground parking space. Through online searches, Darral found Peace Vans. 

When we were first married, we had a ’78 Westfalia, so when touring a Metris Full Camper, we felt right at home. We generally eat out very little, so we are heavy fridge users, both stoves and the sink. Making our afternoon coffee at random scenic spots is something we relish. The effective heater is deeply appreciated when camping in the cold, and the upgraded battery does a great job with our electronics.

Our van has the lift and has performed well on gravel roads to trailheads. The Metris is easy to drive with the pep needed for passing on back roads and traction for getting around snowy Denver streets.“

Never Spent a Night in A Van Before. It’s important never to say, “So and so is one of our favorite customers,” and honestly - we almost universally *love* all our customers. But … Nancy is genuinely one of our favorites. We don’t even know how Nancy first found us, but she came through the shop pretty much already convinced our Metris camper was what she wanted, even though she’d never owned a van. We worked with Nancy to understand her needs, and it seemed like our Full Camper was the right choice. Fast forward to pick-up day, and Nancy drove over to Alki Beach in West Seattle, where she promptly spent her first night in a van and continued south to California, ending up at 67 straight nights in her van. Cheers to you, Nancy!

Linda L.

Instead of trying to summarize Linda’s experiences, we thought we’d let her words speak:

“I’ve had [my camper] for a month now, and I waited awhile to write for two reasons. First, following too closely all that correspondence we had before I picked it up might cause you to fear you’d acquired a forever pen pal, but if I waited, you’d relax and no longer feel anxious each time you opened your email. Second, I wanted to speak from a position of experience and not just relief at having finally driven it out of the showroom. You’re the judge of the first, but I will judge the second. 

In the last 3 weeks, I’ve taken 3 trips, camping in 5 different campgrounds. The first two were solo trips and the third included my daughter and 6-year old grandson ... I have high expectations for the camper I chose. I slept well, both below and above; I could make coffee without crawling out of the coziness of my lower bunk; when it was breezy, I sat comfortably inside gazing out through the open side door, and; I had more than enough specialized storage space to stow necessary camping items and the young one’s bike.  AND, there were aspects that far surpassed those old VW’s I had. The top went up and down so easily! The clothes closet held more than enough of my wardrobe - for all seasons! Moving the backseat forward is amazingly useful! The finishes are so tasteful, from seats to headliner to curtains to cabinets. Whether I’m sitting in it or just thinking about it as I write, I grin in delight and sigh with contentment. How wonderful. 

...It has great visibility, and the side mirrors with their safety features are very helpful. It is maneuverable in tight situations. And strangely, it is bigger inside than outside – really. 

 So, am I satisfied? Yes, indeed. Did I make the right choice? ABSOLUTELY. 

 PS: And did I mention I love my Peace Van and that it's totally perfect for me?

3 months later….Linda is still thrilled and sent this:

#3.  When it’s rainy, you don’t care, because you’re inside and dry, out of the rain; also, warm.

#2.  When it’s time to pack up to leave, you don’t spend the last hour in your beautiful campsite on your knees, sweeping and rolling up your dampish tent, cursing it because it won’t fit into its carrying sack; ditto the sleeping bag.

#1.  When you’re out doing errands at 12:30pm, and someone texts to see if you want to take over their reservation at Iron Creek CG that night and the next because something’s come up, and you think about it for like 3 seconds, and say, “hell yeah”, and you swing by Mod Pizza for one of their big salads and get gassed up at Costco, zoom home, throw clean underwear and home-mixed martinis and yogurt and carrots into the van to complement the foods previously stashed there, and all the clothes and bedding and everything else you need is already in its place in the cupboards and drawers, and you are out the driveway and on the road by 2pm. 

Thank you, Peace Vans.
