- An inspection form on existing damage wasn’t done at the start of the trip. I would have felt comfortable doing this to protect the host and myself.
- Broken cooler, had to buy new one during the trip. Not only that but the cooler brand that was provided didn’t keep temperature well.
- Snorkel masks weren’t rinsed and filled with sand when we first tried to use them so I assumed they were also not sanitized which then made me question the dishes being washed before our arrival as well. Not a good feeling.
- Tent that goes around the back of Poke came with no instructions, zippers do not work. When I asked Heaven about setting it up she said there were instructions included in the bag. Also keep in mind it doesn’t fully cover the back of Poke so bugs and mosquitoes can still get in. I realized this once I looked closely at the photos online.
- Fans were not charged at all and lantern was 3/4 of the way charged upon arrival. The fans also only run if you have a portable charger connected to them throughout use.
- Inside of van in the back where the chairs and other gear are stored was filled with sand, made me question the cleanliness of everything from that point.
- Poke needs some TLC! When I’d press the brakes or simply driving without brakes there’s a screeching sound that sounds like discs rubbing together and the oil change is highly passed due according to the maintenance sticker on the windshield. Also- the back sliding door can only be opened on the inside. Very inconvenient to always have to reach around the front passenger door.
- Last but not least, my husband saw bugs (small roaches) inside the van the day we picked up the van in the back corner by the dishes. I only noticed them the third day in then they scattered under the bed frame out of sight.
