About California VanLife

My goal is to serve other outdoor enthusiasts who are considering buying their own van (giving them the ability to try one before they commit to it). My goal is to facilitate connecting with the outdoors. There are so many amazing national parks to explore - it's pretty much impossible to soak it all in in just a day or two. We are obsessed with the customer experience and plan on offering a great experience to all renters!

Mike was truly the perfect host!! He provided us information and comprehensive tour of the RV as well as answered all the questions we had, and not only that he readily answered his phone when we had additional questions. Kudos to Mike, we are happy we chose to rent from him.

Mike was great. He came and picked us up at the airport. He was very easy to work with and very responsive. If I do decide to go back to Yosemite, I will definitely rent from him again.

We had an amazing trip. Mike was beyond helpful. Everything we needed he provided. The van itself was so comfortable and reliable. The drive was great. Truly an amazing experience. Mike was a great host; friendly and kind. Not to mention he was a saving grace when I left my purse in the van and he was so gracious to bring it to the airport after dropping us off. We wouldn’t have made the flight without him.

Mike was very accommodating and easy to work with. He picked us up at the airport , provided an assortment of camping gear to choose from and responded promptly to messages. Would definitely rent from him again!

Great Rig! Mike is a fantastic host. He was very thorough to ensure we were comfortable with the RV prior to our departure. Had rented Class C’s before and this was the first time with a class B and was impressed with its capabilities. Took it Yellowstone, it was easy to drive and could park pretty much anywhere. Explored its off grid capabilities, and was impressed with its performance. Definitely would recommend Mike and his RV’s. Looking forward to renting from him again for our next adventure.
