Nick was great to work with. Van had everything we needed for our weekend family trip to the coast. The inclusion of the electric refrigerator was great. Would definitely book again.

We had a great trip along the California coast in Nick's van. The van was well equipped. We were 4 adults. Two of us slept in the van and two in the tent we had brought. While 4 adults can sleep in the van, we were glad we brought the tent as it is otherwise rather tight (one night we all slept in the van when we were in a location where no tents we allowed, allegedly due to mountain lions). Drop off at the airport made the end of our trip convenient.

We just returned home from a fabulous 16 day trip exploring Yosemite, Sequoia and King’s Canyon, the coastal highway (HWY 1) up to Humbolt Redwoods state park and back to San Fransisco. Nick’s van and his ease of the entire Outdoorsy process made our trip perfect! We are a family of 4 and the kids (age 5 and 7) loved their ‘home on wheels’. The van ran very well and we had no concerns. My husband had experience driving a van before which was helpful for all of the windy, up and down roads. This trip left us wanting to buy our own VW Eurobus! Thanks Nick for your support prior to the trip and communication along the way. It was a trip if a lifetime.

The eurovan was awesome, we took it up to the Anderson Valley to see the redwoods and the whole trip was incredible! Nick was great and even delivered the van to us as we were staying nearby. It was chilly for April and the heat in the van was so appreciated! Also the solar powered cooler was amazing and quite roomy. Would definitely rent again!

Nick was super flexible and easy to communicate with. The van is great and offers so much for its compact size. I’ll be back!

Nick was communicative and available for questions. The van was easy to drive/setup/camp in.

My 40th birthday trip to the California coast was made complete with Nick's Eurovan. Nick was super friendly and accommodating at every turn, giving us recommendation on where to go and even letting us hang out in his garage on the way back while we waiting for our Uber in the pouring down rain.
For those of you who haven't traveled in a VW before, the Eurovan offers the style of old buses, with all the comforts of a modern vehicle, trust me the automatic transmission is much easier to deal with on the hills of SF than the older manual buses. The van came fully stocked with everything we needed and Nick had the fridge (solar powered BTW) cold and ready for us when we arrived, we just threw our bags in and headed for the coast.

This van is so cool and runs well considering it’s age. Very retro and cozy. 2 ladies and 1 dog took the van to Yosemite for 3-4 days and it was truly awesome. Nick is very thorough, helpful, and communicative. Will definitely rent again!

It was a pleasure having you and your family take the camper.

The camper ran like a top, and Nick has added some great features (solar powered electric cooler!). Oh, and it was a pleasure to deal with Nick, he's very helpful and friendly. We'd absolutely book the camper with him again.

Nick was extremely nice and quick to respond. The car worked well. He also accommodated my pick up and return time. I’ve rented few VW campers and knew how to operate them. If you haven’t, make sure to ask questions during the orientation as this is a vintage car and you need to know how to operate it.

We rented Nick's camper for the second time, because we had the chance for a last-minute getaway and I wanted to know what I was getting into, camper-wise. He and his partner Amelia were again great to work with, and the trip went off without a hitch (get it?). The camper is really perfect for weekend camping, and my kids were glad to see it again!

We rented the van for our first camping trip with our 5 months old. Overall we had a great experience! Solar powered fridge and ability to easily charge our phones felt like a luxury! When the air quality got really bad (due to fire season) we were able to even run an air purifier inside!
Nick was a great host - super helpful and fast to respond to any of our questions. He made sure the van is ready and equipped with everything we need .

Our family used the van for a 10-day NorCal trip. We loved having the solar powered fridge/freezer, being able to setup ‘camp’ in a few minutes, and option to cook inside if/when inclement weather. The optional inflatable SUP and foam surfboard made hot days bearable at the safe water beaches and lakes we visited. Overall, the van is in good condition. The upgraded wheels/tires/suspension make for a comfortable ride and provide a little more ground clearance, enabling us to visit more remote non developed campsites (no potable water). Unfortunately, we had a mechanical breakdown (water pump) that cost us 1-1/2 days and our planned visit to Lassen. Nick did everything he could to get us on the road again as soon as possible and thankfully the auto shop in Eureka had a water pump in stock. Once fixed, we had no additional mechanical issues and the van ran cool in 100 degree heat while going over multiple mountain passes. As Nick described, the van is 23 years old and not perfect, but he has been fixing and improving it. We’d rent it again, but would avoid winter/cold weather as the heater wasn’t working.

I rented Nick's Eurovan for my first solo camping trip with my two kids -- and the entire experience was great. Nick was very easy to work with and highly communicative. The van itself was perfect. I will definitely rent this Eurovan again!

Nick is a Great host and provides plenty of camping supplies. The eurovan is a classic camper that is clean and well maintained. The solar panels and fridge are a big plus!

Nick was a wonderfully accommodating host, and provided a welcoming space that worked well for our family of four. He went out of his way to make special arrangements for pick up and drop off, and also purchased some nice amenities ahead of our arrival, including expediting some of them just for us! The campervan rides nicely and was a comfortable space to travel around the greater Yosemite area. The solar system far exceeded our power needs, kept the fridge nice and cold and all our electronics fully charged. The camper top, and both beds were very easy to setup, and comfortable. We would surely rent from Nick again, and I will be recommending him to many friends and family. Thanks for providing the perfect compliment to our vacation!

Nick was a great guy, super accommodating and made our rental easy and comfortable. With everything you need for camping, cooking and cleaning and room for 4 to sleep all in a manageable size, Nicks van was a perfect match for our family trip to Mendocino. We had an amazing trip sleeping in beachside campsites and would rent it again in a heartbeat.
