Interested in buying a Mercedes Metris camper van, but want to try it out first?

FLY-TRY-BUY: Try a Metris Van before you buy

MAY 2024 - October 2024

 
 

Overview

Our Fly-Try-Buy program is designed for those who are interested in buying a Mercedes Metris camper but want to try it out before committing. You’ll fly out to Seattle, take the van camping, and then make a decision. If you love it enough to buy it, then we’ll cover up to $500 of your flight cost AND 2-nights of rental fees! This program is also available to locals — fill out our interest form for more information.

Step 1: Fly out to Seattle

Sea-Tac Airport is an easy 20-minute ride from Peace Vans. Book a flight - it’s a hub for both Alaska and Delta, and most other airlines have convenient flights - and come on out! We will be waiting for you with a shiny Metris Camper all set up for you to camp.

Step 2: Try (AKA Go Camping!)

Visit one of our private campsites on the Olympic Coast or book your own sites. If you want help planning, our 5-Star team is ready to assist! We’ll ensure your van has everything you need for a great experience and even share tips for provisioning, cooking, and more.

Step 3: Buy!

At the end of your trip, if you loved your experience, make your deposit and be on your way to a lifetime of van adventures! We’ll credit the cost of your plane ticket (up to $500) and 2-nights rental fees off your final invoice. Decide it’s not right for you? No worries, we hope you still had a great trip!

  • Credit against a purchase will be the total of 2 nights of rental fees and taxes plus up to $500 total in plane ticket cost, for up to two people.

  • We love our furry friends as much as anyone, but kindly ask you not to bring animals along with you on your rental. The situation can get…hairy…
