Discover Van Vleck RV rentals for memorable road trips
South of Houston by the Gulf of Mexico, you can book an RV in Van Vleck, Texas and have the vacation of a lifetime. This enchanting suburb of Bay City was first settled back in the 1830s by Bailey Hardeman who would die of a fever a year later. For years, this tiny town was nothing but a post office in the middle of nowhere, until the Texas & New Orleans Railroad laid tracks through town, making it an official stop along the line. Due to this favorable occurrence, the town was named after W.G. Van Vleck, the railroad official and superintendent responsible for choosing the path of the newly created railway.

Owner was great with communication and messaged us promptly when we had any questions. He have great directions and did an awesome job of explaining everything. The rv was in good condition. AC was nice and cold. Bed was comfortable and big. Wi-fi connection worked great when our phones had no signal. Owner was also flexible with pick up and drop off. Overall we had a great time in our weekend getaway.

Awesome experience all around. The RV itself is very clean and comfortable. My wife, who usually can’t do long drives, had no complaints after 9 hours on the road. Plenty of storage space inside and out. Surprisingly easy to drive as well. Can’t thank the host enough for being so accommodating and showing us how everything works. Definitely worth going for a test drive with the host if it’s your first time driving an RV. I learned a lot.

We had such a wonderful time with this travel trailer! Its compact size made it super easy to tow with our 1/2 ton truck, and the affordable price was a huge bonus. The trailer was very functional and had everything we needed for a fun and comfortable trip. We were pleasantly surprised by how well it fit our family’s needs without feeling cramped.
