We rented this camper van for a two-night stay by the beach, and it exceeded all expectations. The van is beautifully maintained, extremely well equipped, and thoughtfully organized—it had everything we needed and more.
What really stood out was how easy the van was to drive, ride, and operate—even for someone without previous camper van experience. Rich gave clear, step-by-step instructions and walked us through how everything worked.
Overall, this camper van made our beach stay cozy, fun, and memorable. Highly recommend—we would absolutely rent it again!

Glenn and Amber were so great to work with They supported us before, during and after our trip. The RV was in pristine condition and had all the amenities we needed. We look forward to another trip in the future!

Owner was easy to communicate with and extremely nice throughout the entire process. Trailer was cleaned prepped prior to pick up. The dining table is pretty flimsy especially when converted to a bed. Better to use this trailer with 2 people. Had a good experience overall and would recommend to others.
