About Tim Gibson

After much deliberation I´ve decided to make my Ford E250 campervan available to others looking for a great vehicle to explore the Pacific Northwest comfortably and stylishly without breaking the bank. Owner is a professional adventurer and has a wealth of info about the best spots for wild camping, cycling, skiing, mountaineering, dog-friendly hikes, swimming holes, etc., up and down the West Coast & Rockies. Just ask!

Tim was awesome, he picked me up on time and explained everything. I would recommend in the future he build a video showing how to do this, cuz it took about 35 minutes and I needed to get on my way to the concert venue I was going to. He met me at airport on time for me to turn back over the keys too. The van worked, it never broke down. It is old, but it did the trick for what I needed. The steering wheel shook, which made me nervous at 1st but I got used to it. I found it odd that Tim literally had to put his mouth on the sink faucet to suck the water out so it started to flow, he should fix that so it is sanitary and you don't have to do that. I would also HIGHLY recommend he bring clean linens for the bed. The van came with no fitted sheet or top sheet, only a washable mattress type cover. He only provided two blankets and two pillows, one blanket of which he told me had not been washed. He should 100% offer fresh linens when renting his sleeper van. I asked if he provided linens and he said yes, so I didn't bring anything. Price was right and Tim was avail for all questions. Good experience but I would amend the things listed about so this is a 5 star rental experience moving forward :) Thank you Tim for sharing your home on wheels!

We had a great trip with Tim's van in the North Cascades. Tim was very responsive and helpful with recommendations for our trip. That made a big difference for us. The van is exactly as advertised.

We had a great experience with the campervan! Tim was very friendly and provided a detailed overview before we left to ensure we knew how to work everything. He was very accommodating with our pick up/drop off times. The van has many nice features like a sink, comfy bed, camping stove, dishes, fridge, fan, bluetooth stereo, etc. Tim went above and beyond ensure we were comfortable! He even offered us a ride to the Link train to get back to the airport and mailed something I forgot in the van. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for a van starting in Seattle.

Tim absolutely saved us when our originally rented van broke down 5 days prior to our trip. He was very communicative and more than willing to help us in a last minute pinch. This van held up beautifully driving all over the PNW on various terrains, was surprisingly comfortable to sleep in, and had everything we needed! Definitely recommend!

Tim's van is extremely reliable and easy to drive. The car handled perfectly in the windy roads and steep hills of olympic peninsula. This car was easier to drive in windy roads than a jeep wrangler rubicon I rented on a past trip. Even on off-roading trails the van felt secure. That speaks volumes to how well maintained this 20+ year old car is.

Tim’s van was perfect for a winter camp/ski trip for a few nights up on Stevens pass! Tim is very easy to communicate with and his van will guarantee a great time on your next adventure!

Tim was a great host and the van was excellent. Extremely tight on the coordination front, including on time delivery and recommendations for alternatives to our planned route. Van itself was cozy for us - two adult humans and our two ~50 lb dogs. Very obviously cared for by the owner and it shows. Much preferable to tent camping :). Thanks again for everything and look forward to renting again!

We had a great time on our trip in Tim's van! He gave us a thorough explanation of how everything worked ahead of time so we felt at home in the van. He even sent us a link to videos about how the mechanical things in the van work in case we needed to reference them while we were out. The van is very practically set up with a fridge, sink, stove and basic kitchen necessities. The mattress is comfy and comfortably sleeps two, and there was room on the floor for both of our medium-sized dogs and their beds. Lots of storage and it was very easy to keep things organized. It was relatively easy to drive with comfortable seats. Tim was very easy to work with and made sure we had what we needed for the trip. We took the van out for 4 days to the Olympic Coast and having a comfy van to travel and sleep in made the trip really enjoyable. Highly recommend.
