About Ashley Manning

I am 34, I LOVE to travel and I LOVE to host. So I found love in having an RV which Outdoorsy allows me the opportunity to do that even more! I have a dog (I rescued from the islands of Turks & Caicos) and my favorite trip so far in VANessa has been the redwood forest in NorCal. I work a very busy job in a startup industry so traveling is my sanctuary and gives me the ability to be free from anything but the road. :)

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.

Thank you for being a great guest! My goal was reached by making you and your husband feel like you had everything you needed to enjoy your trip to Big Sur! VAN-essa is special and tends to make people want one of their own! (We are going to talk ourselves out of business) HA! I hope to host you both again!

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.

Thank you John! I’m glad VAN-essa was a dream :) She hopes to see you again when in San Diego!
