The sleeper van started every morning…
The sleeper van started every morning without fail, was easy to drive and suited our purposes. It turned out, however, to be 2004 vehicle with around 445 500 miles on it when we started out. It looked like a repainted Juicy van. Since the vehicle is the main product of a rental company we think it is time to sell it to a local mechanically inclined person who is fully aware of its history. It might serve them well for a time longer It is a bit risky to rent it to somebody flying in from a different country with limited vacation time. We ran into a few issues: the " kitchen" did not even look wiped down when we received the van. We missed a lid for the pot or the pan (just one lid, please!). Also a cutting board and a functioning peeler. The radio was non- functional ( no problem for us), but the cigarette lighter got loose a lot and we had issues being able to recharge our phone which was needed for navigation and communication. We had issues with the back sliding doors. At one point during our 25 days we could not open the passenger backdoor from the outside. A few days later it worked again?? On day 18 the driver's side back sliding door opened about 1/2 to one inch while driving and got stuck in this position: could not be opened or closed. We called Lucky Rentals help number and a local mechanic came promptly to the campground, but could not fix the problem on site. We brought the van into his shop the next morning where he fixed the problem with the door and discovered a few other issues that he felt needed fixing ( we were loosing oil...). He notified the rental company and they agreed with the repairs. We were given a car to use for the day and thus were stuck just for one day . The loaner was also a Toyota and we found that that car had no problem clearing the windshield from fogging up when it got cooler or rainy outside. Whereas our sleeper van had given us considerable problems when it got cool and rainy by FranzJoseph Glacier. The only way we could clear the window was by turning on the AC. ..we were freezing, but at least we could see while driving. See what we mean,: put it out to pasture. He might make somebody happy, yet. It even grew on us. Warts and all "
