Vanessa is a great camper van, drives nicely and very convenient to stay in. Andrew communicates well and is extremely fast in responding.

Hey, I’m Martuise. Vanessa was great for my family and I, three, technically two-day roadtrip to my Uncle’s 95th birthday celebration. This was a last minute plan trip. However, executed beyond satisfactory. Amenities/Machinery have a bit of tedious care needed to be applied, but most importantly it’s convenient for comfortability.

My son and I had a great experience renting Vanessa. The RV is well cared for and very comfortable. Andrew was great to deal with. It's going to be hard to go back to tent camping after this experience!

Andrew was a great host! As a first time camper, I knew nothing. Andrew took the time to explain everything that I needed to know in order to operate Vanessa. He was friendly and answered all of my questions with lots of patience. I would definitely rent from him again and I would highly recommend Vanessa to all first time campers!
Dawn
We had a wonderful time with Vanessa. It was a very nice rig with everything you could want for both a long or short trip. We appreciated that Vanessa’s owner, Andrew provided dvds as we had forgotten to bring ours. Great experience and will definitely consider a future rental.

My elderly mom and I rented Vanessa for a long weekend road trip. Andrew and Jenn were terrific about showing us how to operate everything and making sure we knew they would be available if we had any questions or problems—we had neither. In fact, we were so comfortable we ended up driving many additional miles than originally planned!
