The van was good for what it was as a medium/low-frills van setup.
Overall however, it seems that the communication was a bit off throughout the entire process. We booked the trip 3 months in advance and were requested additional information and a docusign and were told that we would get some campgrounds info. We didn't get anything until 6 days before our trip, which gave us 3 days to try to modify our plans and get the documents needed all while wrapping up things at home to prepare for the vacation. We would've been better off renting an airbnb or hotel in Honolulu and then renting a car - which would've saved us a lot of hassle.
We wouldn't recommend this for a trip longer than 3 days. The battery doesn't hold a charge if you're trying to keep the fridge on, charge phones, and let the fans go throughout the night. After day 3 we were awoken by a high pitch alarm from the inverter and had to run the engine to get the battery charged. We estimated that the fans alone consume about 12% batter for a night, so if you need phones or cameras charged you'd need to do about +2hrs of driving per day and keep the fridge off.
There were some items that could be improved upon for other's:
- The sliding door doesn't open from the inside
- The locking mechanism to keep the fridge in place had an eye bolt that stuck out and was a hazard at night
- The fridge gets stuck in the open position - possibly off its track
- The car key was unreliable manually in the door locks and also electronically it would only work 40% of the time
- The battery and/or solar panels aren't specced appropriately - it didn't seem like the solar was charging the battery
- The posting said something about biodegradable shower supplies but that was not the case, so the shower wasn't used
- The headlights are always on when car is on so it is not discrete to charge the battery at night while boondocking
- The blackout curtains didn't attach to anything - we needed to rig up lines to block the view on the sliding door and trunk door because you can see right through at night when the lights are on
