Other things to noteThis is a classic 1980 motorhome, so guests should expect a vintage RV experience rather than a brand-new luxury RV! Despite its age, it drives well, has been well cared for, and is well suited for road trips and camping.No smoking or vaping inside the RV.Please treat the vehicle and interior with care and return it in the same condition.Before departure, guests will receive a walkthrough explaining the basic RV systems, electrical hookup, propane use, and important driving considerations.Because this is an older motorhome, we recommend planning your route and campground stops in advance especially for longer trips and longer stays.We’ve intentionally kept the rental price affordable because of the RV’s age, not because of its condition. This classic Vanguard has been well cared for over the years and offers more comfort, character and value than the price might suggest. We believe it provides good value for guests looking for a memorable and affordable classic RV experience.

The RV was fantastic for our family getaway. It had everything we needed and added vintage charm. Habib was very pleasant to deal with made the rental easy. The value for this rental is unmatched and we would recommend to others looking for a safe space out of the elements. There were a few minor quarks with the RV but this is understandable for a 1980 vehicle and did not take away from the overall enjoyment of our adventure. Habib is also actively working on the unit to make everything top notch. The unit was very clean, organized and had everything you need (utensils, bowls, plates, cutlery, bedding, optional add ons).
