About Mike's RV rentals

Growing up spending my time in the outdoors of the Northwest and Utah looked a lot different than it does now. My packing had a lot more to do with how much I could fit into my pack and deciding how much weight I wanted to carry for days on end. I would wrestle with how much food to carry and what warm coat would keep me the most toasty but not be too heavy. Now, things are more focused on what will make my family comfortable and allow us to spend the most quality time together. We've been bumper pull trailer owners for years and now our trailer spends the summers sitting in a pristine mountain property in the Manti-La Sal Mountain range at 9000 ft. Because we leave it at our property that we informally refer to as Mountain Top, we no longer had the ability to up and leave somewhere on a spur of the moment camping trip. So, that's where Van Wilder came about. We purchased it to allow our amazing little family to build incredible memories together. We used to find ourselves dreaming of lakeside campsites in the Tetons, beachfront KOAs in Southern California, and sleeping under red rock arches in Moab. Well, with Van Wilder in our life, we no longer have to dream it, we do it!! We want nothing more than to help turn your dream vacation in the great outdoors a reality.

Renting the Van from Mike was a breeze and exactly what I needed for my 8 day mountain bike trip to Moab. Mike delivered the van to the airport when I arrived in Salt Lake and picked it up at the airport when I left.
The van had everything I needed. It happened to be colder than normal in Moab, but the insulation and interior heater kept the inside really comfortable. The van is in perfect condition, easy to drive, and he stocked it with everything I needed. All I had to do was stop at the grocery store and stock the fridge. The bed was huge and super comfortable.

Perfect van for what we needed. Mountain biking trip with the oldest son. And then a quick overnight with the youngest. Couldn’t have asked for anything better

The owner is awesome to work with! He gave us ideas of where to go on our trip and had a lot of great suggestions. He was super thorough with all the instructions of how to use the van amenities. He is very reliable, friendly, and the van was super clean and looked brand new when we got it.

I recently did a little Father - Son road trip to Lava Hot Springs and Jackson Hole…and Van Wilder was honestly the way to go for that trip.

Great experience renting Van Wilder from Mike. Communication was responsive and super friendly. Like renting from friends who really wanted us to have a great vacation. They were super flexible with pick up and drop off times.

We had the absolute best time in Van Wilder! It was fully stocked with all the necessities for a fun camping weekend at Flaming Gorge, UT. RV is as described, we enjoyed cooking outdoors using the camp stove. We also some time reading in the hammock and enjoying the summer sunshine. Mike is a great host, super communicative and easy going. Will def reserve this RV again in the future.
