About Jess Sponenberg

Rio was a dream of ours for a very long time, and when we decided to build out a van perfect for us, we also wanted to make sure it was one of the best vans on the market. We want folks to use our van every time they rent because they see the one of a kind layout (truly, one of a kind, you'll see why) designed by us, done by pros, but also because they love the hosts. Word of mouth is powerful since we all rely on trustworthy experiences. We look forward to showing you a great trip and earning your business. Stay with Rio!

First off, the communication was amazing. I was flying over from Germany with my partner for this trip, so it was paramount that everything would work out, otherwise we'd be stranded.

We really enjoyed road tripping through Colorado in this Van. Easy to drive. Comfy bed. Plenty of supplies and camping amenities. Jess was a super kind and helpful host. Would definitely recommend and book again!

Such a fun trip! Jess and Jen built out a great family adventure van. The foldaway back seats worked perfectly with our daughter's car seat and then stowed at night to give us enough room for her Pack and Play. Tons of counter space for cooking meals and prepping gear. The foldaway bed was comfy, and the dimmable lighting and wood paneling made it feel cozy inside. The dual vent fans kept us cool in the evening, and the diesel heater was great for chilly mornings. The hosts were very responsive to our questions and helped out with the logistics. They also included a bunch of drinks, snacks, and even some toys for the baby. I would 1000% rent from them again if given the chance!

Best decision we could have ever made was to book Rio. Jess was super helpful, kind, and communicative.

Rio is very easy to drive and comfortable. The custom layout is designed to maximize the space and its very roomy inside. The Murphy bed works well and good mattress with plenty of space. When the bed is up, during the day, easy access to storage and sink with a large counter for cooking and meal prep. The powered cooler has plenty of room for all your drinks and food. The outside shower gets the water warm quick. The battery system is so easy and is smart so it regulates itself and charges itself too with the solar panels. I was renting the Sprinter camping van because I will be buying a van and wanted to check out the features, layout and driveability and I'm sold on the Mercedes & will incorporate a lot of Rio's designs. Jess was fantastic and prepped the van with goodies and her explanation of the technology and mechanical details & instructions made it easy to understand. Great host and so courteous!

If you thought of it…. So did they! This VAN has everything you need! Jess did a great job of explaining everything when you pick it up!
And even threw in some fresh ground local coffee that was amazing!

This was our third camper van rental for a 10-14 day vacation. Overall this was our favorite van yet. The solar power and diesel worked great. The bed slept amazing - best ever!!!!! It also drove well and the backup cameras were so helpful, especially the one from above. The dual ceiling fans/ventilation were also pretty terrific. We had an amazing tour of the San Juan’s and made a ton of terrific memories together thanks to Rio:)
