The Baby Beluga is a 2005 Dodge Sprinter van. She is a modern and minimal retreat vehicle, perfect for :
- overnights on the coast (that perfect ocean view)
- camping adventures with the furry family members
- writing or artistic getaways
- adventure dates into the great unknown
...whatever else your heart can imagine!
Qué incluye2x camping chairs, camping table, linens (pillows, comforter, sheets, towels) cookware, utensils, kettle, pour over coffee setup (with some of our fave local coffee), picnic basket with romantic accouterments, candles, hotspot (Verizon network)RecomendacionesOur favorite drive is the PNW coast, from SF/Oakland up to Portland and back. There are peaceful and private lagoons, unreal sunsets, hot springs, adorable beachside towns, you name it! Just let us know if you want any recommendations: we love anything from a quick overnight getaway to a couple weeks on the road with our two pups!

Pros: van ran great and we had a blast on our trip! The van was well-equipped and got us to some beautiful places.
Cons: for the first day or two, it took us an hour to close all of the doors (make sure you have them show you how to close each door before you leave!). Before we'd figured out each door's trick, the back door flung open on us while we were driving, which was scary and unsafe. The roof leaked so we woke up in a puddle one morning. The hosts were intermittently responsive -- we didn't know when or how to return the van and didn't end up hearing from them for over 24hrs, and after we'd returned the van (we guessed at what to do). The van has no emergency brake, which feels spooky. All this is to say, none of these issues would be a problem in and of themselves, but when you're paying good money to rent the van, it feels frustrating to have to navigate doors that won't close, hosts that don't respond, etc.

The Baby Beluga was nice to have during our first official camping trip! The bed was so comfy! We camped with family so we didn’t need to use the stove but everything you’d need was available. Cameron was helpful with our questions. Thanks!

Q.I'm a beginner! Can I take this van out by myself??
A.
Everything in this van is designed to be extremely light weight and operable by just one person. Beginner campers have no problems using this system, since everything is so self explanatory. If you have any questions or want a walk through of the van before taking it out, please just let us know! We'd be happy to share all our knowledge with you to help you feel safe on your journey.

Q.When should I refill the water tank?
A.
The water tank will probably last you ~2 days of heavy water use (2 ppl and 2 dogs, drinking water, coffee, cooking). We recommend that you keep an eye on your consumption after this point and fill up the tank during the day. If the water tank is empty, the water pump will run continuously. You would have to turn off the electrical system (with the push of a button) until you can refill the water tank. This is not fun to do at night, so take our word for it and just do it early ;)

Q.You really sleep two people AND two mid sized dogs in that thing?
A.
Yep. The bed is a king. One dog sleeps under the bed, and the other sleeps in the main cabin.

Q.Are there any special tricks and tips that would help with operating the RV easily?
A.
The Baby Beluga is a super easy driver. She's been taken out by beginner adventurers on solo trips, with few (if any) difficulties. Some tips: Sometimes it can be difficult for new RV drivers to get used to not having a rear view mirror or backup camera. Don't worry, the side view mirrors give you all the sight you need. Turn off the fan and lower the lid when it is not in use. If you're going somewhere cold, let the engine warm up before driving.
