Kokopelli Packraft is a company that specializes in producing lightweight, inflatable packrafts designed for outdoor enthusiasts, including those who enjoy van life and other forms of adventure travel. Packrafts are inflatable boats that are lightweight and portable, making them popular for various outdoor activities such as paddling, fishing, and exploring waterways.

Here are some key aspects to consider when reviewing the Kokopelli Packraft for van life:

Pros:

Portability: Kokopelli Packrafts are designed to be easily packable and portable, making them suitable for van life where space might be limited. They can be deflated and rolled up to a compact size for storage.

Lightweight: These packrafts are generally lightweight, which is a crucial factor when you're living on the road. The reduced weight makes them easier to carry and transport.

Durable Materials: Kokopelli is known for using high-quality materials in their packrafts, which enhances their durability and longevity. This is important when you're investing in gear for long-term van life adventures.

Versatility: Packrafts are versatile in that they can be used on both calm water and mild whitewater, depending on the model you choose. This versatility can enhance your outdoor experiences and exploration.

Cons:

Tracking (how straight the boat travels after you stop paddling) - these boats act like corks in the the water and have no sense of direction, this is honestly my only con for this raft.

Inflation and Deflation Time: While packrafts are designed for portability, inflating and deflating them can take some time. This might not be ideal if you're looking for a quick setup or breakdown process.
