About Aarthi Gurusami

Hi! My name is Aarthi. My partner Cameron and I co-own our amazing Sprinter Van. We and our two fur babies love to get out and adventure together. We enjoy hiking, camping, and exploring everything our beautiful country has to offer. Ask us any questions about our listing: we would love to share our experiences with you, especially those along the Pacific Coast Highway. We'd also love to hear about what fun adventures you have in store!

Memories made on trips with Aarthi Gurusami's RVs

Pros: van ran great and we had a blast on our trip! The van was well-equipped and got us to some beautiful places.
Cons: for the first day or two, it took us an hour to close all of the doors (make sure you have them show you how to close each door before you leave!). Before we'd figured out each door's trick, the back door flung open on us while we were driving, which was scary and unsafe. The roof leaked so we woke up in a puddle one morning. The hosts were intermittently responsive -- we didn't know when or how to return the van and didn't end up hearing from them for over 24hrs, and after we'd returned the van (we guessed at what to do). The van has no emergency brake, which feels spooky. All this is to say, none of these issues would be a problem in and of themselves, but when you're paying good money to rent the van, it feels frustrating to have to navigate doors that won't close, hosts that don't respond, etc.

The Baby Beluga was nice to have during our first official camping trip! The bed was so comfy! We camped with family so we didn’t need to use the stove but everything you’d need was available. Cameron was helpful with our questions. Thanks!

We were very pleased with our trip up the coast of Northern California! Pick up and drop of were super easy. The bed was SO COMFORTABLE! The hosts were very easy to communicate with and flexible with us when we needed it. 10/10 would rent the Baby Beluga again!

We had a fantastic time with the Baby Beluga! The bed was easily one of the best parts and had so much space and more for us. Truly a great way to vacation and you won’t find a better deal than this one!

Cannot speak highly enough of Baby Beluga! We had an amazing few days exploring the Cali coast. Aarthi was quick to answer any questions and was very accommodating. Easy to get to via Uber/Lyft from the airport. Baby Beluga was easy to drive and maneuver. We had everything we needed for camping for a few days. Cannot wait to book again to continue exploring.
