About Ismael Rangel

Hi, I am a bay area engineer with a passion for cars and anything DIY. My fist car camping adventure was overloading the Mendocino National Forrest in a Jeep Rubicon outfitted for off grid camping. I was hooked. Since then, my dream has been to build my own recreational off grid camper with all the comfort and amenities to take me anywhere in the United States. My dad and I worked nonstop every weekend for two months completing this build and I am super happy and proud of what we accomplished. Enjoy the Vaneroonie, take pictures and share where you take her on your travels!

Awesome time with the van exploring Northern California region over ~2 weeks. The solar panels keeps us charged up for all our needs if not using an electric hookup. We really enjoyed the diesel based heater for cold morning warmups!

Izzy was responsive and easy to connect with when picking up and dropping off the van. We'd owned a very similar van a couple of years ago so it was easy to figure. Had a wonderful trip to Doran Park in Bodega Bay!

We had a great 2 week trip across California with this Van.
It has all the essential needs Van Lifing + a really cozy interior.
Ismael is very responsive for any issues that may occur.
The Van drives smoothly even on mountain roads.
Overall, a great Van where we spent amazing times and made memories for life!
We would definitely book it again!!!

The car is easy to drive, has a spacious interior, and comes with great features. It's the car I would love to own the most.

The Vaneroonie is a great RV and Ismael was so helpful and flexible with arranging for pickup and drop-off! We were in the area due to a family emergency and Ismael was super accommodating and kind when we had some changes in our schedule. We hope to rent the Vaneroonie again the next time we visit the Bay! :)

I enjoyed the solo van life. I had a great experience taking it to Yosemite. This van made me realize how badly I want one as well.
Ismael is friendly, accommodating, and replies quickly.

The best trip in the best van. I felt so well cared for and communication was great. Van is exceptional and I had the best time in Yosemite!

We had a great trip in the Vaneroni! It was just like the pictures and was plenty of space for me, my husband, and our pup. Ismael was very responsive and helpful when we ran into a hiccup during our trip. We’d highly recommend this beautiful van for a family adventure.
