Great experience and really nice set up. Lots of nice touches, very comfy bed and lots of space inside. Nick was super easy going and flexible on all counts!

Had a great trip in Nicks van up the coast of California and Oregon. As someone who is tall the bed was a highlight for me as it’s longer than most vans. Other highlights were the lighting, skylights, and cooking setup. Would love to rent again!

The Great White did not disappoint!! Nick and Lindsey were amazing hosts, there if we needed anything. The vehicle was very clean, ran beautifully, and got us where we were going. The instructional videos helped us a ton although we maybe needed to only revisit a few. On board Wifi was a plus. I’d definitely recommend these folks and this vehicle as a luxurious way to go. Thanks for everything!

Wonderful experience cruising through Andersen Valley, up north to King Range/Lost Coast for spectacular hiking! Incredibly comfortable in all respects. Great attention to detail, so thoughtfully stocked. Bed is absolutely 5 stars - such a luxury when camping! Excellent storage, counter space, stove & fridge for real cooking. Comfy camp chairs, excellent lighting & ventilation options, great system for total blackout overnight. Very capable driving power for steep grades, quiet engine, easy to maneuver. Loved the ease of wifi & virtually endless power source for charging our gadgets.
Nick was an excellent communicator and Lindsey was charming, warm & helpful getting us on the road and welcoming us back. They did an incredible job building this van out, both functionally & aesthetically. We look forward to re-booking again in the future!

Perfect in every way. Nick did not miss a detail in making his van feel deluxe. Stocked with everything you need, just pack your clothes and food. I will definitely rent again and again!

Q.What flexibility is available for picking up and dropping off the RV?
A.
I am flexible with pick-up and drop-off times and locations. If my schedule allows, I will deliver within a reasonable (1 hour) drive from my house in Petaluma for a fee (about $150 depending on distance). I am happy to negotiate start and end times to ensure a good fit for your trip. I also offer contactless pickup. We can do a video walk through of all the systems ahead of time and use a key lock box to ensure the van is secure.
