If the forecast shows a hard freeze (around/below 32°F) at your elevation, we’ll need to winterize the van before pickup to protect the plumbing. When winterized, the onboard water system (sink/shower/hot water) isn’t operable—we’ll provide water jugs and simple workarounds.Important: if the van is taken into freezing temps with the water system active and any part freezes/damages, repairs are the renter’s responsibility under our agreement.2) Mountain passes, traction/chain rules & FWDThe van is front-wheel drive. From Sept 1–May 31, I-70 over the high passes (Eisenhower/Johnson Tunnel & Vail Pass) runs under Colorado’s traction rules. That means you must have M+S/All-Weather or Winter tires with at least 3/16" tread (The van currently has new all weather tires this season), or carry/use chains or an approved traction device when required. During storms, the state can escalate to the Passenger Vehicle Chain Law, which requires chains/approved devices on all passenger vehicles—on a FWD van, that means the front tires. Roadside signs and COtrip org will show when these are active.- No Smoking or vaping- No Pets- No Off Roading.
