We had a blast taking VAn-essa up to Ojai and Santa Barbara for 5 night with our two friends. Our friends pitched a tent, which made sleeping and moving around very comfortable. We camped in los Padres NF and Carpenteria and Gaviota SBs. Everything worked great and was super easy to figure out. Ashley gave great instructions and support. 5/5 would recommend. Worth every cent.

Ashley and VAN-essa were great! We are a family of 4 with a 11 and 9 year old and we fit very well in the van. The van was very well stocked and appeared to be brand new when we picked it up. Ashley was super communicative and helped us get started easily. The van performed very well and we loved the popup top. Thank you!

My husband and I just returned from our amazing trip to Big Sur using VAN-essa. VAN-essa’s owner Ashley was a pleasure to meet and work with from start to finish. Not only was she extremely fair, Ashley was accommodating and easy to reach with questions and/or concerns. VAN-essa was fantastic to use, I may become a van owner after such a positive experience. VAN-essa had all the amenities we could have hoped for. My husband and I are used to tent camping and backpacking, so in our nature, we brought garbage bags, small kitchen items, and other things we weren’t sure if we would need. Everything we brought was unnecessary because VAN-essa was fully stocked with pots, mugs, silverware, kitchen towels, garbage bags, travel games, books …you name it, it was in there. The toilet and shower, although rarely used by us, was great to have at our disposal. The cassette was super easy to empty, which we were not expecting. This trip was fantastic because of both Ashley and VAN-essa. We highly recommend.

VANessa was awesome! She drives like a dream and was very comfortable for my 6'5" frame. She was nicely stocked with everything you would need and the most helpful and informative host on outdorsy.

Rules and policies
VANessa lacks 4WD and 4x4 capabilities, so avoid uncertain dirt roads. Late returns, past the agreed date or after 6 pm, incur a $315 daily charge, and a $75 fee applies if the cassette toilet isn't emptied. Monitor the utilities panel for gray water, propane, and solar levels, and empty them as needed. Run water gently to conserve it and prevent damage. Keep the interior clean by removing shoes before entry and using the dust brush under the sink if necessary. VANessa needs a 9ft 3 clearance, so beware of low obstacles like tree branches, drive-thrus, and parking structures. Ensure nothing is above when opening the penthouse to protect the solar panels. Outlets work only when connected to a main power source found in the under-bin hookups. Use the provided inverter in the overhead storage or USB ports for low-power devices like cellphones and laptops. The inverter cannot support high-power items like a blowdryer or blender. The solar system can maintain a charge for 3-4 days without running the van, and phones can be charged via USB. The cassette toilet has limited capacity: about five #1s and two #2s. Do not dispose of toilet paper or wipes in it; use provided doggy bags and dispose of them properly. Empty the cassette by digging a hole (shovel provided) or at a highway rest stop. Beware of faulty sensors and avoid overflowing the cassette. When showering, make sure the curtain is in place to prevent water spillage. Open or close the penthouse by keeping a door or window open, pulling red tabs inward from the top center, and securing all locks. Turn off hot water and heater when not needed to conserve propane. If the temperature is below freezing, don't set the furnace above 75 degrees to prevent boiler damage. Daily limit on miles is 150 anything over will be .75 cents per mile. There is an unlimited miles options under “add ons”
  • Pet friendly
  • Tailgating friendly
  • No music festivals
  • No smoking
  • Mileage: 150 free miles / day
Frequently asked questions

Q.

Are there any special tricks and tips that would help with operating the RV easily?

A.

YES! We will go over everything together upon arrival and will need about an hour. I also provide a guide with SOP's (standard operating procedures) on how to operate various items such as the toilet, heat, hot water, opening & closing the roof, emptying the gray tank (shower & sink water), how to refill the water tanks and so on.

Q.

What flexibility is available for picking up and dropping off the RV?

A.

With a weeks notice of pickup time, im very flexible but prefer no drop off after 7pm
