Accommodating and highly communicative host

David easily accommodated a last-minute 12-hour turnaround, handled schedule changes flexibly, and responded immediately to questions with great hospitality.

Easy to drive and park

The van features a great turning radius, backup cameras, and sensors that make tight parking and coastal navigation effortless for first-timers.

Well stocked and very easy to drive! A exceptionally special and memorable trip for us first-time van renters. David was super communicative, friendly and flexible, accommodating our longer surf trip down the coast. The van has a great turning radius and tons of cameras and sensors for confident parking and backing. It’s very well stocked with everything you need to travel and glamp in total comfort. Particular perks were a BIG fridge and freezer, and a powerful AC that runs off the same gas tank at the engine, which was a lifesaver for us south of LA in July. We would rent again in a heartbeat - thank you David!

RV was awesome - definitely our best RV experience. It was fully equipped and perfect for a couple with full shower, toilet, chairs, awning, etc. We loved that it had more modern tech like cameras, which made navigating tight parking lots like In-n-out doable. David was an incredible host. Very accommodating, helpful, and communicative. I would do the same trip again in a heart beat and have already been recommending it to friends.

Fantastic experience! Owner was able accommodate us very last minute and get the van ready within 12 hrs. Van was very clean and everything worked as it should. Owner is very responsive and immediately got back with any questions we had. It was really nice to just pull up to a campsite and just be able to go have fun. Would definitely rent the same van again!

This was SUCH a great trip! My husband and I drove to Yosemite l, stayed in 4 of their campgrounds with David’s van, and had the very best time. We had no issues, and felt like we couldn’t have experienced Yosemite in any better fashion. The bed was so comfortable (my 6’1 husband did great on it), the frig had tons of space, the van was easy to drive, and we took warm (and quick!) showers. Truly, I am so thankful we were able to do this trip and I am grateful to David for his hospitality and help. Feeling blessed and recharged to head home!

Rules and policies
• Camper Van House Rules & Helpful Tips We want you to have an amazing trip while helping keep the camper in great condition for future travelers. Please review the following guidelines before your adventure: Bathroom Use The camper does have a toilet for convenience, but we kindly ask that #2 (solid waste) only be used in emergencies. Most campgrounds, parks, and rest stops have clean restroom facilities, which are preferred whenever possible. This helps keep the camper fresh and easier to maintain for everyone. Sewage Tank If the toilet is used, please empty the black/gray tanks at a dump station before returning the vehicle. Many campgrounds and RV parks have dump stations available, and we can point you to convenient locations if needed. A cleaning fee of 300$ may apply if tanks are returned full. Drive Relaxed & Enjoy the Journey This camper is designed for slow scenic travel. Driving around 60–65 mph: • Improves fuel economy • Makes the ride smoother • Is safer on winding coastal roads Remember — the goal is the journey, not the race! Fuel Please return the camper with the same fuel level as pickup. Cleaning Please return the camper reasonably clean: • Trash removed • Dishes washed • Food cleaned out • Interior swept if needed Normal wear is expected — we just appreciate basic tidiness. Respect the Camper Please NO • Smoking inside • Climbing on the roof • Taking the van off-road Ask Questions If anything comes up during your trip, please reach out. We're happy to help with: • Campsite suggestions • Dump station locations • Coastal travel tips
