We had the best time taking Edwin’s van up to the redwood national and state parks. The van has everything you need, is great to drive, and so so comfortable for camping. We especially loved the lighted awning for making camp feel extra comfortable. After experiencing van camping I can guarantee there’s no better way to road trip. Edwin was the most accommodating host we’ve ever had. He was flexible, understanding, and went above and beyond in every category from picking us up at the BART station to dropping us back off at the end of our trip. You will be so lucky to get to experience your trip in this van, but you will be even luckier to get to meet Edwin. He is excellent people with an excellent van.
If you have the chance to rent this - do it! It makes for the best trip ever!

This was my first time renting an RV and Katie was a wonderful host. Everything was ready to go at pick-up, and Katie was super helpful in the walkthrough showing everything I needed to know. The Airstream was perfect as a first-timer - easy to setup, tow, and operate.

We had such an amazing experience renting this van for 12 nights! The bed was super comfy, it was spotless when we got it, and it had everything we needed to cook great meals on the road. Everything was really easy to use, and the whole setup made our trip so much fun. Would 100% rent again and highly recommend!
