RV rental Somis, CA: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

Somis is an unincorporated community in Ventura County, California. Somis is also a Chumash (Native American) word for “water of the scrub oak”. It was established in 1892 as a farming community growing corn, wheat, and barley. The region has dry and warm, not hot, summers, making it a comfortable place to visit or live. The Fulkerson family has been a prominent part of the town as far back as 1912 when father John opened what would become a chaotic hardware store and town landmark. John's brother James opened a blacksmith shop in 1892, the first business in town. One part of the shop is a museum. A steel floor safe is one of the unique features of the store, having been scorched by a safecracker in 1921 who stole money and then relocked the safe, spinning the dial for good measure. Unfortunately, no one had the combination and the safe hasn't been opened since.
