Wifie and I had a blast. We didn’t have to pack a tent and all the things that go with it. Just park pull out the chairs and fishing pole and chill.

We had a great time using Wolfgang and Charlene’s RV for our quick trip to the desert! It was a perfect couple’s RV full of all amenities and comfort. This experience and RV will definitely go on the list of future trip options!

Absolutely incredible experience! Wolfgang and Charlene were fantastic hosts. Very clear instructions and information. The van had everything you could ever need for a road trip. The mattress/pad was so comfortable and cozy. The bed turned into a nice work station/table for the day. We were able to use the Roku tv at all of our campsites. There is a microwave/convection oven that was perfect for making dinner as well as two propane burners for stovetop cooking. A nice potable water kitchen sink and plenty of counter space. Tons of storage! There's a refrigerator and a freezer, large enough for all of our weekly groceries. The bathroom was equiped to handle both grey and black water and contained a shower head so the entire stall could be used for showers too. There was also a water heater, so any showers could get warm. I will say it is challenging to shower with limited space, but to have the option is very nice.
We only had to run the generator a few times because most of our campsites had a power hook up, but it came in handy when we were in lots without hook-ups.
The entire experience was so wonderful, we got to see some beautiful places and meet some wonderful people - including our hosts!
Very thankful for this opportunity to rent and we will definitely be inquiring to rent again with Charlene and Wolfgang.

We took a two night trip to Joshua Tree. The camper van was very clean and well stocked and the owners, Wolfgang and Charlene were super nice and explained everything about the operation of the vehicle. We enjoyed it so much and would definitely do it again!!

It was great! Driving felt light with that engine. We slept so well. I have a bad back and was a little worried about driving and sleeping. I didn’t have a moment of discomfort. They added a bike rack that turned out to be so much fun. It added so much joy to our trip.
Great couple, you felt the love and detail put into the van. We didn’t need the tool box but it was fun helping fellow travelers.
Plan for a 2 hour review before you go. There are a lot of details and they make sure you understand it all. I felt ready when I left.
(The microwave is also an oven)

My first time renting an RV from a private party. Wolfgang and Charlene are warm and professional. During the 90 minute check in procedure, they go over every inch of this gorgeous vehicle. Wolfgang had me get comfortable with the various components, and switches that would ensure us of having a hassle free time in this fine tuned chariot. My girlfriend and I had the time of our lives. We arrived to the Furnace Creek campground and various stops along the way. Often total strangers complimented and took videos of this show stopper vehicle. Pleasure Way RV, and its online videos by this lovely couple put all my fears to rest. Will recommend to my friends and family. Regards PK

very easy to use and drive. great experience all around. its in beautiful shape. The youtube videos really are worth your time if you want to maximize your satisfaction with this RV. Pack all your meal ingredients(s&p, oil, etc.) as it is a equipment only kitchen.

We took a 3 night trip along the Santa Barbara coast and Solvang. Wolfgang and Charlene were very personable and accessible for any questions we had before and during our trip. Their coach was equipped and pictured as described. The videos we viewed were especially helpful before we embarked and saved a lot of time and hassle knowing where everything was and how to set up. Everything was clean and tidy. The coach was quiet, had plenty of power and was a smooth ride. Would definitely recommend!

Beautifully designed for efficiency and comfort. Meticulously kept. Wolfgang and Charlene could not have been nicer or more helpful. The videos made it easy to learn set-up and function.

I must say I had one of the best solo road trips ever, thanks to Wolfgang and Charlene Hall’s Mercedes Pleasureway.

It was a very relaxing trip with the van. We had a great time, and thank you for delivering! The van is nice and clean. They provided everything we needed for our short trip - including pillows, warm blankets, fire blanket and beach chairs. Very thoughtful, patient, nice and friendly couple! Glad to meet you guys!

What a great experience we had using Woolfie and Charlene’s Pleasure Way. The van looked and came equipped just like his photos and YouTube videos. This was our first time driving and renting a camper van and we couldn’t have asked for a better vehicle and hosts. They were so nice and made the whole experience enjoyable. Before you head off on your adventures, they’ll go over everything inside and out, and even have you go for a test drive to make sure you’re comfortable. The van is clean and has everything you need from running water, bathroom, to a stovetop for cooking. Although it takes a few minutes to make the bed, it is quite comfortable to sleep on. The van also has nice big windows to stargaze at night. The drive itself is smooth and comfortable. The only issue we had at times was disengaging the parking brake and leveling the van but Woolfie and Charlene will give you tips on how to troubleshoot it. We highly recommend using their van and hope you enjoy your travels as much as we did with it.

The pickup was easy and Wolfgang and Charlene were very pleasant and through. The van was every bit as nice as shown in the photos. This was our first experience in a camper van and we are looking forward to our next. We enjoyed a couple days in Death Valley National Park and short visit in Vegas with a friend who just returned to work after some health issues. Every thing worked well. We happened to camp at location with no electrical hookup and everything worked fine. Less than half hour on generator in early evening more than covered power needs and topping off of batteries for the night. (Probably did not need to top off, but was being cautious). Wolfgang and Charlene left two german beers and a german wine in frig. Both were wonderful. Van was everything promised in the listing and easy for me to drive. My wife who doesn't like to drive my SUV said in a pinch she could drive it too.

Our Trip in Wolfgang and Charlene's Mercedes was absolutely fantastic from beginning to end - starting with the initial communications, the super thorough introduction to the van, the luxury and comfort of the Mercedes inside and out and the ease of traveling in such a confidently built and impeccably maintained vehicle. The Mercedes is flawlessly maintained and Wolfgang and Charlene made sure it was sparkling clean and perfectly appointed. You can tell they have really thought through everything one could possibly need on a glamping trip - from custom made linens to dress up any camping table to insulated cups for (hot) coffee to (chilled) drinks. We did actually not take advantage of all the fantastic features of the van (indoor shower, TV, convection oven, freezer) and yet felt like were were traveling in the lap of luxury. Driving the Mercedes was also an absolute joy - this vehicle really combines the best of RV comfort with the agility of a van.. it is aptly named the "Pleasure Way" :) And last but not least, Wolfgang and Charlene are wonderful people! We could not imagine more laid back, thoughtful, and generous hosts. We sincerely hope to rent their RV again some time soon - Thank you Wolfgang and Charlene for a fantastic week on the road!

Thank you, Corinna and Steven! It was such a pleasure to have you as our first renters! We could not have wished for a better start into Outdoorsy. You know you impressed us with your very yummy homemade bread! Please come again!
