Look Like A Local - "Vincent Van-Go" VW Westfalia Pop Top Camper Van

We took Vincent Van Go out for a summer solstice adventure and had a grand time! It’s a whole different experience traveling in a vintage camper van. We took our time, stopped to explore, did some impromptu nature paintings, got up early to sit under the awning with our coffee to just listen to the birds. We brought a vintage typewriter to write random poems, and when it rained we were comfortable inside playing cards, sketching, and reading. One of our favorite things was Vincent’s happy vibe. People would wave when we drove by and would come over to chat when we were stopped (he’s a great conversation starter). Even the birds liked him—there was a white-crowned sparrow that enjoyed perching on his side mirrors while we were camped. The little bird knew it too—Vincent is a safe, friendly perch. If you’re looking for an adventure, one that refills your soul and reconnects you to nature (and your traveling companions), we highly recommend Vincent Van Go. Kevin is an excellent host—he explains everything clearly, provides all the necessary kitchen supplies, and takes very good care of Vincent.

Vincent Van Go was awesome! Best looking Van on the road. My son and I loved the Alaska adventure in this beautiful Van 🤙🏼

Awesome time. Kevin is great and so is Vincent.

We had the best time with both Vincent and Hugo on a week long Alaskan road trip! Kevin was an exceptional host in terms of communication, care, tips and the work he has put into both vans. Highly recommend if you’re looking to camp during your visit to this beautiful state!

The week and a half we spent exploring the most beautiful state in the country with Vincent (or Vinny, as we lovingly called him) was one of the absolute best of our lives - and we owe a HUGE part of that amazing experience to our camper van and to Kevin at 'Look Like a Local'. First, Vinny: Fun, quirky, comfortable, well-equipped, and purrs like a champ even on some questionable Alaska roadways. Setting up at camp was as easy as popping the top and opening the beds. Vinny is definitely a head-turner, and we had a lot of fun conversations with people asking about him! He took us from Palmer up to Denali, through Hatcher Pass (don't sleep on Hatcher Pass - this place is AMAZING), to Talkeetna to meet the cat mayor, through Chugach, along the Turnagain Arm and down to Seward for a couple days of camping on the beach. Though he's an older van with vintage charm, he started up every time, kept us safe and cozy, and added a level of fun to the trip that couldn't have been achieved with a regular, boring old camper van. One-hundred stars!! Now, Kevin: Genuine, thoughtful, kind, caring, and someone you'll consider a friend from day one. Kevin made sure we had everything we needed for a wonderful trip, gave us a couple of suggestions for places to visit, made himself available for any questions along the way, and genuinely wanted us to have a great time. A wonderful human being all around. (Thank you for everything, Kevin! I'll never visit Alaska without renting one of your rigs!)
