About Jake's RV rentals

My name is Yacoob (Jake)! I started out as a passionate outdoor enthusiast, with a heart that beats for the thrill of hiking, snowboarding, and everything nature has to offer. Fueled by this insatiable love for the outdoors, I embarked on a journey that would soon become a passion! It all began with a humble dream – crafting vans that perfectly melded with the rugged landscapes I adored. Building these vans for personal adventures, using sustainable materials, my creations caught the attention of fellow nature aficionados. Enthusiasm grew, as admiration turned into demand. Seeing the genuine appreciation for my work, I took a leap of faith and transformed a personal endeavor into a mission to share the beauty of the outdoors with the world. With unwavering commitment and a heartwarming desire to make outdoor exploration accessible to all, I now have took personal time to pour my heart and soul into crafting affordable vans that mirror the very essence of nature's splendor. Every build tells a story, a tale of passion, sustainability, and the unbreakable bond between humans and the great outdoors. I created Overland Camper Vans and soon joined the Outdoorsy community in an adventure that transcends boundaries, guided by a vision to inspire, empower, and embrace the call of the wild. Your journey awaits, as you step into a world where passion and purpose come together to create the ultimate outdoor experience.

Had a great 3-day getaway. The camper was cozy/slept 2 of us no problem, and considering the age of the vehicle, it ran great.

Jake’s answer

Thanks so much for the great feedback! I’m really glad you had an awesome 3-day getaway and that the Grizzly Cave was cozy and ran well for you both. It’s an older rig, but we keep it dialed in so it’s reliable and comfy. Appreciate you taking the time to share—hope to host you again soon!

It was our first experience renting a camper van. This van taught us a lot and we can’t wait to rent again. Thank you!

Had such an amazing trip in this van! Jake was so helpful and accommodating with anything that came up for us. Had no issues with the van going through different terrains and exploring National parks! Even better, we had access to charging our phone even when we couldn't access electric hookups! Can't say enough great things about this experience, definitely recommend renting this van for your trip.

Jake’s answer

Wow, thank you so much for the kind words! I'm so glad you had an amazing trip in the Winter Forester—it’s awesome to hear the van handled all the different terrains like a champ and kept you powered up even off-grid. It was a real pleasure working with you, and I appreciate you saying I was helpful—it means a lot. You're always welcome back anytime you're planning another adventure. Thanks again for the great review and safe travels!

This van was perfect for our trip to Lopez island! Kept us warm and cozy at night but still gave us flexibility to move around. Bed is comfortable and overall space is larger than expected. Jake was extremely responsive and flexible. Will definitely rent from him again!

We had an amazing trip with this van! It didn’t let us down once - super reliable, easy to drive, and had everything we needed on the road. The interior was clean, cozy, and thoughtfully equipped. The huge bed and all the extra space were definitely the highlights, we slept like royalty! The owner was very communicative and responded quickly to all our questions. Overall, a fantastic experience, highly recommended

Jake’s answer

Thanks so much for the amazing review. I gotta say, you were honestly some of the best guests we’ve ever had. Not only did you treat the van with so much care—like it was your own—but you took it on a longer trip and brought it back in better shape than most short rentals. That says a lot about the kind of people you are.

The van is absolutely adorable and the bed is super comfortable. I was so glad to have it when I camped in a rainy environment at an event that was remote and off the grid. Jake’s communication is excellent. When there was an issue because the prep person forgot to put the equipment in for food and coffee (a major bummer-/so check that everything is there before you leave) he offered to compensate me for the inconvenience.

This was an awesome rental. Jake did an amazing job communicating. He was also very accommodating when some issues arose. The van was super cozy, and had lots of space for storage. We really appreciated the pull out storage from under the bed. We had an amazing time!

Jake’s answer

Thank you so much, Selene, for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review! It truly means a lot. I’m so glad to hear that your experience with the Hibernation Station was a positive one. It was a pleasure having you as a guest, and I really appreciated how easygoing and communicative you were throughout your entire trip.

My fiance and I just got back from a week long camping trip in this van. We camped across the mount hood and colombia river gorge area and this van supported us the whole way. From camping in the constant rain, to the muggy summer heat along the gorge, and then camping at 6,000 feet in the cold at timberline lodge, this van got us everywhere with no problems. The interior is furnished with plenty of storage space to accommodate everything we thought to bring.

Jake’s answer

My man! Thanks so much. This is an amazing review. I really appreciate it. I’m glad the van was able to take care of you throughout all those different terrains. You guys were excellent and took really good care of the van. I appreciate it so much. come back anytime!
