About Melissa's RV rentals

Hey there! I'm Melissa, and this is my mini golden doodle, Audy :) Together, we love to explore forests, secret water/camp spots, and stealth living in some of the best neighborhoods in town. We did the full-time thing for 6 months while I worked online. I still WFH, but value the stability, so now we're intermittent adventurers who like to getaway for a while. I love meeting other people who seek nature, exploration, and a sense of adventure in their life. My dad used to take us camping when we were kids and we still go together every year (he has a van too). I hope to be able to share those kinds of experiences with others. There's so much more to this beautiful life - let's help each other explore it.

Great trip with this van! Cozy and comfy, decked with everything you need. Pretty good on fuel too + easy to car camp. Thanks Melissa!

I rented Mélissa's van for about twenty days, primarily to drive the "Coastal Circle Route." While communication with Mélissa was cordial during the trip planning and before pickup, things became a bit complicated during the rental period itself; she is a very busy person, making it difficult at times to reach her or get a return call regarding vehicle issues. Overall, the van is very well-equipped in terms of dishes and amenities, though the refrigerator posed a challenge for longer trips. The Bluetti battery drains quickly when the vehicle isn't moving, meaning you have to plan on plugging it into a 120V outlet to fully recharge it—especially if you have multiple devices plugged in overnight. I informed Mélissa about serious oil consumption issues during my 20-day trip, and she committed to addressing them given the amount of oil the vehicle used. Fortunately, everything was resolved with Mélissa, and she reimbursed me for all the unexpected purchases I made for the van. In short, as a first-time van trip, the experience was very satisfying, and I would not hesitate to recommend this vehicle.

We had a wonderfull trip to vancouver island and the Rockies. The van drives nice! We really appriciate the fridge, sink, jerrycan and the sperate battery. Crouse control os handy as well when you drive a lot. Only be certain to park in the shadow with a black car:) or drive early. The grill was usefull as wel. We enjoyed our stay very much in Canada with this van!

We had a great time in the van for 3 nights. Easy to drive, comfortable bed and great set up. A handful of dishes, pots, utensils and a large jug of water which was quite helpful. Only things for improvement were delayed response times when asking questions about the vehicle & one car speaker was a bit broken so there was a ticking sound when listening to music. Overall great trip!

Très belle expérience. Le véhicule était bien équipée pour s’adapter à plusieurs possibilités. Une petite tente permet de varier le mode de camping. Ça donne le goût de partir explorer le reste du Canada.

Had a great exprience travelling through the rocky mountains with Mels converted van. Listing was exactly how it was. Reliable van with plenty of comfort. Mel was prompt with responses with general enquiries which was very helpful also. Would highly recommend for your next trip !

Betty is super comfortable and stocked for all your camping and road tripping needs. Every little detail had been thought of, from the well-organized cooking setup to the warm wool blankets, and we had a blast driving her around, from highways to campground paths. We especially loved discovering fairy lights tucked away with the more functional gear - it was a real treat to have a cute, cozy night in the van.

This camper was everything we hoped for and made our recent roadtrip more pleasurable than imagined.
