Introducing the Honda Element "Ecamper"; conversion build number 733, performed in Spring, 2022 by the manufacturer Ursa Minor Vehicles in Portland, Oregon, enabling an economical mini-RV experience in a comfortable and highly maneuverable package.Extended multi-day pricing discount in effect, see Pricing header.Summer minimum rental booking period is 4 nights.My well-maintained 2008 Honda Element EX (2007-2011 are the favored year-models), is ready for the Alaska road system or just the local area, year-round. This Element is recent to Alaska from the east coast, making it one of the nicest ones I've seen on the streets around here.Added April 2025: backup camera system.The ECamper unit is factory-wired with LED reading lights, a dome light and a 12V power outlet, all connected directly to the vehicle battery, eliminating the need for the ignition to be on. In other words, I opted for all the upgrades.Its set of warm season tires are new as of July, 2024.For winter operations, it's fitted with a set of Nokian Hakkapiilitta-10 studded snow and ice tires for the maximum in upper-latitude winter traction and secure footing; that’s in addition to the automatic all-wheel-drive.Be prepared to answer queries from curious onlookers. It may well be the first ECamper they've seen.Cosa è incluso• bear defense spray; 2 units.
• laundered sleeping bags & towels, linens for up to 4 persons.
• 1 or 2 burner propane stove and gas, as desired.
• Cookset and cutlery kit.
• lithium-ion booster battery for engine starting if battery drained.
• 24 qt. high-performance cooler.
• "Eletent Basecamp" rear hatchway bugproof vent panel, plus matching side window vent screen panels.
• cushions for lower/main deck sleeping, as needed.
RaccomandazioniI'm only allowed 500 characters here, though my knowledge of Alaska attractions from the ground is nothing special. Of course, your internet research of the road system will be very helpful. Back before Outdoorsy limited this space to 500 characters, I had a fairly extensive writeup here. I can forward it to you in the app's text feature.Altre cose di cui prendere notaTravel is prohibited on the following:McCarthy Road beyond Chitina.The seasonal Denali Highway-route 8, between Cantwell and the end-of-pavement west of Paxson.North of the Yukon River crossing on the Dalton Highway, route 11.More than about 5 miles on any other unpaved state/municipal-maintained public roads without prior approval.

Offers comprehensive traveler support

Dean consistently provides airport/hotel pick-up/drop-off, comprehensive camping gear, demonstrates vehicle features, and is highly responsive to guest inquiries and needs.

Nimble, fuel-efficient, easy to park

The Honda Element is easy to drive and maneuverable like a car, with AWD and 20-25 mpg fuel efficiency, making parking simple. Its quick pop-top tent provides a warm, dry, cozy sleep for 2-3.

Excellent experience. The only reason I give four out of five stars on value has nothing to do with the actual rental, but with all of the extra fees incurred using Outdoorsy. The price doubled from the posted amount due to all of the mandatory fees included by Outdoorsy. . Everything with the host was perfect and I would definitely recommend his services. On the other hand, Outdoorsy sent me an email a day early that my rental was due. The app and website are both very buggy and slow, there is a lot of improvement needed on their side of the equation.

The E-Camper is awesome. Gives you both a sleeping space and living area. It kept me warm and dry despite the persistent rain. Dean went above and beyond to communicate and to pick me up and drop me off. He also takes great care of the camper and cleans it very throughly. There were also some added bonus items that made the E Camper great for someone traveling without all their normal gear. I'd highly recommend renting this Element especially if you're a solo traveler that wants to be protected from bugs, weather, etc.

Great vehicle. Easy to drive, easy to set up, easy to take down. Kept us warm and dry. Dean also equipped us with a lot of gear- stove w propane, cookware, bear spray, sleeping bags, pillows. He even picked us up at the airport. Made it very easy. The sleeping compartment was comfortable and perfectly sized for me and my 18 year old son. My only caution is that getting into the compartment requires some agility. Would also say with your stuff in the car, it would be a tight squeeze for more than 2 people.

We had a great time exploring north of Anchorage to Denali! It was our first van experience and we loved it! Dean's van is very well maintained and easy to drive. The tent top popped up easily and it didn't take me long to figure out how to get in and out by stepping on the cooler. There isn't much headroom, but the bed was just long enough for my 6'1" husband. We needed some creative scheduling for the pickup & handoff, but Dean was easy to work with. Highly recommend!

Q.

I have full coverage for my personal vehicle. So, do I need to purchase Outdoorsy's insurance?

A.

The short answer is YES, and it is extra; and a significant percentage is deducted from my end as a service fee. My own full-coverage policy for this vehicle will not cover me (or anyone else) when rented, i.e., in commercial service. Outdoorsy's website and customer service go into depth on this subject. Their 24/7 telephone customer service has been responsive and helpful for me as an owner; I have no experience as a renter and can not address the subject of insurance authoritatively.

Q.

Can one actually get any sleep in the Ecamper without eyeshades during bright summer nights in Alaska?

A.

I believe the answer is yes. The synthetic canvas of the Ecamper's shell does a good job of blocking light. A greater consideration would be other people making noise at late and very early hours when parked at campgrounds, etc.

Q.

Can anything be stowed on the Ecamper mattress while collapsed and secured?

A.

Essentially, nothing more than a bedsheet. I once attempted to leave a thin blanket laid flat and was unable to engage the aft latches, such is its precise design, making for the aerodynamically and cosmetically sleek unit it is for driving; the Ecamper adds only about 6 inches to the Element's height and 130 lbs. to its unladen weight.

Q.

How's the ventilation and bug-proofing of the Ecamper rooftop unit?

A.

The Ecamper's tent enclosure's head-end incudes two large zippered panels either side of centerline, each consisting of two layers: a mesh panel backed by the solid canvas panel. Either or both panels may be unzipped top-to-bottom from head-end to about waist level (when lying on the mattress) and anywhere between for ventilation and view. Additionally, there is a mesh-screened foot-end ventilation panel spanning the unit's width.

I superhost hanno grande esperienza e le migliori referenze, il che ti assicura un'esperienza all'aperto fantastica.

I'm a resident of Anchorage, Alaska making a living as a cargo airline pilot augmented by aerial landscape photography from a very small airplane as seen at . As with my own 76-year-old Luscombe 8E and the Boeing 737 freighters I operate for a living, maintenance is taken seriously and methodically on all of my vehicles. A maintenance-related accident or being stranded on the remote Alaska road system—or anywhere else—is a serious proposition, be it for safety or simply for the continuance of a long-planned vacation.
