About Ismael's RV rentals

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!

We had so much fun driving down highway 1 from SFO to Big Sur! The van was the perfect way to camp and see the coastline for people flying in from out of state. Izzy was responsive and great to work with. We hope to be back soon for another van trip!

We had the best time with the Vaneroonie! It was our first van-camping experience and we are hooked! Izzy answered all of our questions and was always very helpful. Our dog settled right in too. We highly recommend Izzy’s vans!

Izzy was very responsive and the van was great. We enjoyed the storage and ample battery power. Everything was clean and organized and ready for our adventure when we picked it up.

I loved my stay in Vanny McVanFace! It was a comfortable van with great amenities, and Ismael was very kind and helpful with explaining features and coordinating drop-off and pick-up. Would definitely rent again!! :)

Ismael deserves more than five stars for his communication and accuracy for his listing. If you are hitting the national parks - his van is a bit of a drive BUT based on cost it’s totally worth the drive or use SLO airport to save some money. His van is beautiful; well decorated and really nice! I highly recommend.

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!
