Whether you're flying into the Bay Area to start a bucket-list trip or a local looking for a perfect escape, the Beluga is your reliable and cozy home on wheels.The best part? It's "The Motorhome That... Drives Like a Van!". It fits in a standard parking spot, handles like a van, and is a real pleasure to drive, whether on the highway or maneuvering through a packed campground.Detailed Amenities & FeaturesSleeping (Up to 4):
A comfortable, permanent full-size bed (52" wide) is always ready for you in the rear, made with 5" thick dual-density foam for a firm, supportive night's sleep.The front lounge area cleverly converts into two single beds (up to 67" long), perfect for kids or extra friends.Kitchen (THE Galley):

Bifold doors create a spacious and private area around the marine-style toilet, which is concealed in a closet when not in use.Exterior Shower extension: Perfect for rinsing off sandy feet after a day at the beach. Outdoor shower is available at an add on charge and would need to be added separately to the booking.Storage Solutions:Exterior Storage: A cavernous, 7 cu. ft. waterproof storage compartment is integrated directly into the running boards.Interior Storage: With up to 80 cubic feet of total storage space, you never have to leave important extras behind! Much of this is possible because water tanks are located under the floor, maximizing interior living and storage space.Utilities & Capacities:
Fresh Water Tank: 34 US gallons / 129 LitersGrey Water Tank: 29 US gallons / 109 LitersBlack Water Tank: 13 US gallons / 49 LitersPropane (LPG): 8 US gallons / 31 LitersConvenience: Features the "Dura Drain" system with a permanently attached sewage hose, eliminating messy handling.Climate & Comfort:Furnace: A 16,000 BTU automatic propane furnace to keep you warm.Air Conditioning: A built-in 110V air conditioner keeps the interior cool without adding drag to the roofline.Ventilation: A powerful, 12V thermostat-controlled FanTastic roof vent provides excellent air circulation , and awning-style windows can be opened even when it's raining.Picture Your Perfect Getaway...Coastal Cruising: Imagine cruising down Highway 1, pulling over at any vista point that calls to you. In the evening, there's no setup needed—just settle into the ready-made bed and let the ocean sing you to sleep.Mountain Escape: Head for the majestic Sierras. The Beluga is your personal, mobile cabin, keeping you warm and cozy after a day of hiking among giants in Yosemite or Sequoia. Park by a serene alpine lake and enjoy the kind of peace and quiet the world just can’t offer.Wine Country Weekend: Effortlessly cruise through the rolling hills of Napa or Sonoma. The size of the vehicle makes it easy to navigate narrow country roads and park at your favorite vineyards for a tasting.The Roadtrek Difference: Clever Design & Quality:Roadtreks are legendary for their innovative and space-efficient design. Unlike larger, boxy RVs, the Beluga was built with an unwavering commitment to quality and a clever, compact use of every inch of space.Room to Move: Thanks to a lowered floor and custom roof, there's plenty of headroom for people up to 6 feet tall. The generous 30" wide aisle allows two people to pass by each other with ease.Built for Comfort: The front captain's seats are made with a special molding process used by auto manufacturers, meaning they hold their shape and provide lasting comfort and lumbar support on long drives.Aerodynamic & Efficient: The sleek, low-profile design is exceptionally aerodynamic, which translates to better fuel efficiency and handling compared to other motorhomes.Why Rent The Beluga?As an experienced Airbnb/Vrbo host, I'm obsessed with providing a 5-star experience.

I had a wonderful short trip with this van to Napa Valley. It’s full of character and char; clearly loved and well cared for. As a 30-year-old vehicle, it brings that unmistakable nostalgic feeling for anyone who’s spent time around old VW buses. The moment you start driving, a smile takes over. You don’t rush the road, you enjoy it. You don’t zoom past the sights, you take them in. This isn’t a new Sprinter, and you shouldn’t expect it to be. But if you’re looking for lasting memories and a fun, soulful adventure, this is the van for you.

Have a question?Get answers directly from the host
Q.Can I leave my personal car with you during my trip?
A.
Yes, you are welcome to park your car on the street in in front of our house while you travel. Please note that parking is at your own risk.
Q.How many people can travel and sleep in the van?
A.
The van has seatbelts for 4 people (two in the front captain's chairs, two in the rear). It comfortably sleeps up to four people. It features a permanent, ready-made full-size bed in the rear and two single beds that can be set up in the front lounge area (these are more akin to camping cots). It's perfect for a couple, two friends, or a small family.
Q.Where is the van located?
A.
The van is located in Oakland, CA (94605). It's a convenient starting point for exploring the Bay Area, heading down the coast to Big Sur, or venturing out to Yosemite and the Sierras.
Q. I've never driven an RV before. Is it hard to drive?
A.
Not at all! This is one of the best features of the Roadtrek. It was famously marketed as "The Motorhome That... Drives Like a Van!". It's responsive, and fits into most standard parking spot, making it a real pleasure to drive without the stress of a larger rig.
