About Raquel's RV rentals
Hello everyone, My name is Raquel and I have been living in Alaska for the last five years! During the long summer days you can find me biking, backpacking, and kayaking. During the short winter days I am skiing or snuggling with my pup.

Our second trip with the van and I again can’t say enough good things ! We are obsessed ! You won’t regret it. Clean, has everything and the communication is A++++! Can’t wait for year #3! Very comfortable for 2 people and we are both 6’ and could stand and sleep just fine!

The best Van with the best host. We loved our experience with Raquel and her van was the backbone of our amazing Alaskan adventure.

I can’t say enough nice things about not just the van but the owner. SO AMAZING at communication, and the van was a dream. We both agreed we slept better on her amazing bed with the setup then at home. Heater kicks on fast, fridge is amazing, and the gas mileage was superb! 5-stars just doesn’t seem fitting enough for Raquel and her van! We are actively looking at home for the same kind of rig to buy and revamp like she did! I’ll also add that she really thought of everything to make this the best experience possible! See you next year Raquel!

The van was perfect for our needs and we had an amazing 2 weeks road tripping! Really appreciated the option to heat the van on those chilly nights. Only thing we wished we had was an awning so we could still be outside in the rain

Thank you for this review and for the feedback! Hoping to get an awning in the future!

We picked up the van in Anchorage and used it for a week. We saw some incredible Alaskan sights, including 3 days in Denali National Park. An amazing adventure.
Our host replied promptly to texts and was very helpful. The van was a hand made conversion by the owner. It was well done and everything worked. It was well equipped and we had almost everything we needed. Kitchen gear, linens, pillows and a warm comforter for Alaskan nights were all fine. The van started and drove well and was mechanically sound. It was a great experience.

Owner very responsive, easy and prompt communication. All items in the van function well, Especially the Electric stove top, and electric kettle. Did not need or use the interior heater. Mercedes van rides smooth, great range with large gas tank. The charging ports work great. Bed and pillows very comfortable, very nice copper sink. Deluxe compact unit.

Rosalita isn’t the newest van, but she was everything I needed and wanted.

The experience was awesome, perfect size for us, very nice amenities, the little things like a French press coffee maker and outstanding coffee matter. We stayed dry during lots of rain. Driving was just fine!

It was a great trip! Sure, Rosalita is an older van, but we had no problems taking her from Anchorage to Denali to Seward, and back to Anchorage. I wish the stove could be removed from the van, for safety reasons. Otherwise, everything was great. The van is outfitted nicely with pans, coffee maker, plates, mugs, bowls, cutlery, camp chairs, table, wash bin, bear spray, and more. Thanks so much!

Raquel was an amazing host with quick reply time and lots of info for our trip. She accommodated some free extras we asked for such as bear spray and extra pillows. Van ran perfectly and would highly recommend this listing.

Raquel was so helpful with any questions that I had and was very communicative throughout the booking process. It was also easy to pick up the van and she showed me the bells and whistles of the van to make it a smoother driving experience as well. She also included bear spray for me and a six-gallon water jug that helped me throughout my adventure throughout Alaska. Amazing host and will be booking with her again in the future :)
