About Nomad Be Happy

At Nomad Be Happy, we believe that the journey is just as important as the destination. Our adventure ready campervan rental business is more than a service; it's a lifestyle. Embrace the freedom of the open road, explore hidden gems, adventure differently and create unforgettable memories with our growing variety of top notch van builders. Nomad Be Happy started humbly in Chattanooga, TN in 2020 with just two vans and has since created a collective of locally owned and operated campervan rentals across the US. This allows us the unique opportunity to provide a high quality rental experience from a local expert and fellow nomad! Check out where we are located and what we have to offer. If you're own a campervan and you're interested in joining the collective, we'd love to chat and expand our rental fleet.

Memories made on trips with Robby Eskridge's RVs

What a great build out on this van! It had everything we needed and we grabbed a card for maybe a build out on our own van one day. Nice guys running this rental too. We took Raquel to the great smoky mountains national park.

We had a great trip and really enjoyed the van—it’s very comfortable, and the heater worked well for the colder moments. We didn’t end up using the toilet, but everything else functioned smoothly.

Great rental, the solar panels charge the battery for a long time and can run all the accessory power so if there isn’t any shore power, you are good to go. Also, the van is well stocked with the necessary items you need to cook, including plates, pots, and pans, silverware, and even a small camping stove. I didn’t need to bring anything with me at all. For sleeping, the bed was quite comfortable, had myself and two 5 yr olds sharing it and was large enough for all of us. Pick up and drop off was such a breeze, I will definitely be renting this van again.

Renting this camper van was the best option for our road trip. The van offered us the luxury to travel with our dogs—providing plenty of space to not feel cramped or over crowded—and the opportunity to make the LONG drive more enjoyable. The van allowed us to pull off at any rest stop when we needed to recharge our batteries—that alone was a serious game changer for long-haul trips.
Destination wise—the van, with its lifted frame and durable tires, allowed us to choose more remote camping sites—which in turn gave us more privacy and peace.
The set up of the van was perfect for our needs. Plenty of space to add dog kennels for the drive, a queen size bed that was both roomy and comfortable, a sink and shower for quick cleaning, and getting the dogs their water. Solid built in counter-top for preparing food, and plenty of storage areas. Imagine being able to just hop in and move to another camping location without the hassle of breaking down an entire campsite. The pups loved it too! The entire experience sold us on how great ‘van life’ can be!

Great trip to Beaver Bend State Park. Becca was thorough and helpful in every aspect. The front seats are super comfy for long drives. Plenty of drink holder space. Lots of pockets to hold items in the front seat area. Bed was comfortable, comforter provided was plenty warm. Temp was 37 at night. Nice to just unload and return van, cleaning is included in the price. :) Would definitely rent this van again

This was our first experience in a sprinter van and we really loved it! We have contemplated getting one as we are empty nesters and looking to travel more of the US. We stayed at a place in Eureka Springs called Kettle campground and their facilities combined with this van was perfect for us! We were also looking for something small enough we could park and visit local shops, parks restaurants etc. we had a blast! And Becca and Wil were ready to help with any questions or issues we had. Such a great first experience! We look forward to our next one!

The Stokes family was awesome very thorough with the break down of the van and how everything works! Super responsive with all questions we had during our rental! Definitely would use them again for any long trip we have as a family.

We had an incredible experience with Robby and Nomad Be Happy! From start to finish, he made our family camping trip seamless and stress-free. The camper van was perfect—fully equipped and thoughtfully set up for everything we needed on our van life adventure. Robby clearly knows what makes a great road trip experience and goes above and beyond to deliver it. If you're looking for a reliable, friendly, and adventure-ready van rental company, I highly recommend Nomad Be Happy. We’re already planning our next van camping adventure and can’t wait to explore more of the country with their help!

We loved the camper van Raquel! She was outfitted with everything we could possibly need for a short camping trip into Pisgah Forest. My husband slept so well on the comfy bed - and that is a rarity! We look forward to renting again soon! Amy & Chase

We had an absolutely incredible experience with this outdoor van rental! From the moment we picked it up, everything was smooth, clean, and ready to go. The van was well-equipped with everything we needed—comfy bed, cooking essentials, storage space, and even some thoughtful extras like hammocks and camp chairs that made our nights around the fire extra cozy.

Robby’s answer

Thanks for the review and renting Outshine for your big road trip to Colorado, Brett! We hope you and your crew had a great time and will rent from us again in the future!
