Review summary
L
Professional and highly supportive host
Kevin is praised for his availability, professionalism, and thorough explanations. He ensures renters are well-prepared, finds solutions to issues, and provides a supportive experience.
Heavy and slow driving experience
The Kahuna is a well-maintained workhorse suitable for long trips. It reliably provides power for lights (battery) and keeps food cold/stove hot (propane) for extended off-grid use.
Guests love it for families

Meet your host, West Coast Retro Glamper Rentals Inc
Member since 2021
Hello,
My name is Kevin and I founded “West Coast Retro Glamper Rentals Inc.” in the winter of 2020. It is my greatest pleasure to provide you with a one-of-a-kind and world class experience in one of my extraordinary retro RVs.
I have spared no expense in making them look and perform beautifully. Local RV rental dealerships and my friendly competitors on this and other pier to pier platforms cannot compare to the experience and value myself and my Glampers offer. As my numerous five star reviews demonstrate. The only negative review thus far was from travellers who damaged my Glamper and used negative feedback to leverage their liability. I understand and forgive these beautiful campers. That’s why we have insurance. No reason to be negative. Honesty, transparency and respect create the best renter/host relationships. Mixed in with a ton of fun:-) I want your trip to be fantastic as much if not more than you do:)
It’s also important to know that I do not charge one nickel for any add-ons.
Mileage, generators, camp chairs, wiener roasting sticks, camp tables, barbeques, bike racks, cargo racks, all kitchen needs, bedding! You name it. And its included. I also make myself available 100% of the time you are on your adventure to answer any questions and guide you through any unforeseen circumstances. And before your trip I will email you a 42 page electronic manual that explains every single detail and function of the Glampers. And to top it off there will be a 1 to 1 1/2 hour orientation before you leave my driveway which almost every renter so far has enjoyed almost as much as the trip. You will be an RV expert I guarantee it! No one does this!
Please reach out to me and book one before they’re gone,
Kind regards,
Kevin
