About Kevin Reid

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

Kevin did such a wonderful job preparing lil Abner for us!! We loved touring Vancouver island in our stylish home on wheels so much that by the end we were looking up similar vans for sale!

We had the best time in the Munchkin. We stayed 20 days in it. For a couple the size is absolutely perfect. Also runs really well and managed our trip to Vancouver island and Banff National Park without struggeling. It is a pretty well maintained 80ies RV, so of course you need to adjust a little bit to it.
Just needed to hook up to electricity every 2-3 days (we'd say every 3-4 if it's sunny and you're driving), the watertank has 28 liters and got us going for approximately 3 days without having to fill up again (depending on how much you shower obviously). It is super convenient and comes with an oven, big fridge, comfortable seats, bed etc... Also we were so happy with our host Kevin. Whatever doubt/question we had - he responded super quickly and was reliable and happy to help with anything. Would definitely book again!

We loved our time in Shorty on a family trip to a campground near Tofino. And the orientation / support from Kevin was great!

It was great to rent Shorty. An authentic retro experience well worth it. The car perfectly suited our needs and was fairly easy to use.

The most magical time with Li'l Abner! He was so fun to drive and provided everything we needed. Then there was Kevin, just the coolest cat! He went over everything we needed to hit the road and reassured as as newbie camper van drivers. And he was always available for our questions. Cannot recommend these two highly enough.

Just so good! We had a fabulous time in Lil Abner and Kevin really did a great job of getting us familiarized before our trip. Highly recommend.

Where can I start with Kevin and Shorty. We had such an amazing trip and it all started when meeting Kevin who was super fun and very informative about shorty and made us feel very welcome. Shorty is a dream to drive and a great way to see this great country. I couldn’t be happier with both Shorty and Kevin. Would highly recommend

Lil’ Abner was an absolute dream! Tons of character and absolutely zero mechanical issues. Kevin was a delight as a host and made sure we had everything we need - a true professional that took our experience seriously. Baking an apple pie in the oven after a long day of mountain biking was a highlight that won’t soon be forgotten!

Shorty is incredible, as is Kevin, who is always available and helpful. He gave us a one-hour training session to explain everything. The trip to the Rockies went very well with Shorty, even if the passes are climbed at his own pace ;) all the comforts inside, the beds, the hot water...! Perfect! We'll definitely be driving off in one of Kevin's Campervans again!

Kevin was a delight. Made the check-in process fun. We loved the rig. It had everything we needed.

We had the most wonderful trip. We had the pleasure of meeting a very enthusiastic Kevin who ensured we were well prepped before taking Shorty (RV) out on the road. He showed us how to use all the equipment carefully and explained everything well. He ensured we knew how to drive safely and correctly start the engine, give that Shorty is of a vintage era! We encountered zero issues with the RV on our travels across the beautiful Rockies. We enjoyed our time in the RV and all the retro quirks that come with it. Warning, don't expect to go zooming up any mountains as Shorty forces you to sit and enjoy the magic around you. We will be sure to reach out to Kevin again for our next big road trip and may even consider a bigger model now that we have the grip of driving a wide load!

We had the best time in Lil Abner, the perfect travel companion around BC! For a smaller RV it certainly has everything you need (and fits nicely in normal parking spaces)

Where to even start... We did a round trip from Vancouver to the Rockies and back and let me tell you, this roadtrip wouldn't have been the same without Li'l Abner and its owner Kevin.

The host was amazing! Definitely renting from him again.

Lil Abner was perfect for my family of two adults and two kids (11 &13). Waaaay cooler and more interesting than the bland, beige RV’s on offer from big rental companies. She was a pleasure to drive and though we had an alternator issue, Kevin and outdoorsy had us back on the road the same day. We spent three weeks and did over 1000km in lil abner and could have done more. Kevin is a true legend and wants you to get the most out of your Canadian adventure so you are in safe hands renting with him. An experience that will be with all of us forever! Thank you lil abner and Kevin 👊
