“50 Cent”, me and my two small dogs just completed a round trip from Encinitas, CA to Seneca Falls, NY and back to Encinitas so I rented the van for about a month. I chose “50 Cent” because I wanted a) a van because it would be easier for me manage on my own b) gets better gas mileage and c) I didn’t need a lot, i.e., full shower or kitchen. I also chose to go with Sunstorm vans because the vans were only 2 years old, had low mileage and I thought the day rate and mileage was much more reasonable than a lot of the other companies/RVs that I looked at - especially when you start to factor in cost of gas and the overall mileage I was going to need for my trip. My average gas mileage was around 18.3 miles/gallon - mostly highways and a lot of going up/down mountains in the western states.The van has tons of storage and is well designed such as having light switches where you want them and lots of USB ports for all of your devices. The bed was surprisingly comfortable the van has a good level of insulation so it cut down on campground noise. I spent a lot of time in the driver’s seat which sits really high and has great visibility. I’m ‘short’ so my challenge with the seat was stretching to reach the gas pedal without being on top of the steering wheel - platform Teva sandals solved that issue.Wade, owner of Sunstorm vans, was super easy to work with - very communicative, had great tips and was very thorough in showing me the ins/outs of the van. He also has a YouTube video which you can go back to if you have questions. He checked in to see how things were going and always got back to me quickly when I had questions.I don’t really have any cons - I would say my main challenge was driving through UT, AZ, WY in the middle of summer when the temp was 100+ for most of the day is intense so plan your driving times accordingly (i.e., when are you driving into the sun, can you find shade to park in during the day). The van also does not have a toilet but you can buy a camp toilet (talk to Wade) and the van had easy storage/access for the toilet; I was really glad to have it when I was in the middle of WY where rest areas are few and far between.The van was perfect for me and my dogs on this long trip - totally reliable, easy to drive, and a comfortable space to sleep at night. I absolutely recommend 50 cent/Sunstorm vans!!
