About California VanLife , Mike
Mike Gonzalez owns California VanLife and personally hands over every van at our Clovis hub. Comprehensive walk-through, every system explained, every question answered. Four years in business, six-van fleet, owner-operated from day one. The office line[phone number removed] — reaches Mike directly. Not a call center, not a dispatcher. When you're on the road, that's who picks up. That's the promise, and it doesn't change. Based in Clovis, CA — between Yosemite, Sequoia, and Kings Canyon national parks. follow us on IG at californiavanlifellc for more information.

Mike was extremely helpful and even met us early so we could get started on our short trip (3days). He explained everything thoroughly and was very helpful. He even has extras to help you on your journey, especially if you are flying in for your adventure. The van was in top shape and very clean. Mike tops off all fluids, including gas. You don’t even have to fill it up when you return it. We will definitely be renting from California VanLife again!!! Thanks Mike for making our trip magical.

Everything worked as promised and we enjoyed our camping trip! We also appreciated the detailed tour to make sure we knew how to operate everything.

The Solis van was awesome and Mike did such a great job ensuring that we knew where everything was at and how to use all of the features. Mike also provided recommendations and pretty much anything that we asked for. 10/10 would recommend. If we go back to the area, we’d definitely plan on renting from Mike again.

RV was perfect for our trip requirements. We enjoyed using the 2 separate sleeping areas to accommodate different bedtimes. The RV was easy to use and although it had some quirks, id say everything does. For that reason it was incredibly helpful that Mike did a detailed walkthrough and helped us understand the important systems. Few times I had to text Mike either really early or really late for some things and he was very responsive and helpful, but for the most part enjoyed the RV and I’ll be renting class B’s more often.

Mike was excellent to work with and helped this first time van driver feel confident with the vehicle. We had a blast. The vehicle was spotless and so easy to drive and navigate. Will be back again for Yosemite!

Mike was a terrific host, and the camper van was a treat! He communicated with us well, was flexible in our arrangements, and gave us a ride to the airport on the way out! We really appreciate his thoughtfulness and effiiciency.

Made a trip to Sequoia, King Canyon, and Yosemite National Parks and the van made the experience so much better! Mike made everything very easy and communication was great. The van had all the supplies we needed and made things so convenient. I don’t think I can go camping without a camper van now! 10/10 experience

It was our first time renting a camper van and I can’t say enough good things about our vacation experience, it could not have gone better. Mike was very friendly, helpful and responsive throughout the entire process. I can’t wait to do it again, it was the trip of a lifetime. I would recommend renting a camper van from Mike Gonzalez to anyone.

Mike was quick to respond to my messages within a few minutes. Upon pick up, he gave me a thorough run down on how to use the amenities and features his rental offers. Super friendly and informative. The rental was easy to use and I felt it was perfect for our first camping trip. We pretty much just used it to sleep in and used the water hose in the back to rinse off. The fridge stayed cold 24/7 even while the rental was off, so food didnt get spoiled and drinks stayed cold thru the whole trip. My kiddos had a blast and thought it was so cool to sleep on the top bed at night. Enough room for the wife and I on the bottom foldable bed to sleep comfortably. The ride was surprisingly smooth being it's a '99 model year and engine felt healthy. Taking turns on the windy mountain roads was a breeze like i was driving a smaller vehicle. It was such a pleasant experience overall with Mike and his rental.
