About Jake's RV rentals

My name is Yacoob (Jake)! I started out as a passionate outdoor enthusiast, with a heart that beats for the thrill of hiking, snowboarding, and everything nature has to offer. Fueled by this insatiable love for the outdoors, I embarked on a journey that would soon become a passion! It all began with a humble dream – crafting vans that perfectly melded with the rugged landscapes I adored. Building these vans for personal adventures, using sustainable materials, my creations caught the attention of fellow nature aficionados. Enthusiasm grew, as admiration turned into demand. Seeing the genuine appreciation for my work, I took a leap of faith and transformed a personal endeavor into a mission to share the beauty of the outdoors with the world. With unwavering commitment and a heartwarming desire to make outdoor exploration accessible to all, I now have took personal time to pour my heart and soul into crafting affordable vans that mirror the very essence of nature's splendor. Every build tells a story, a tale of passion, sustainability, and the unbreakable bond between humans and the great outdoors. I created Overland Camper Vans and soon joined the Outdoorsy community in an adventure that transcends boundaries, guided by a vision to inspire, empower, and embrace the call of the wild. Your journey awaits, as you step into a world where passion and purpose come together to create the ultimate outdoor experience.

Thank you so much for the 5-star review! I really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. As a small, hand-built campervan business, feedback like this goes a long way—not just for me, but also for future travelers looking to book their own trip.
I put a lot of time and effort into designing and maintaining each van so guests can have a comfortable, reliable, and unique way to explore the Pacific Northwest and beyond. My goal has always been to give people the freedom to enjoy the road without the stress of hotels, rigid schedules, or worrying about how far they can go. There’s something special about being able to pull over at a scenic spot, cook a meal, and fall asleep under the stars—and I’m glad you got to experience that.

Autumn breeze was a great van for touring the PNW. The large bed was nice for sleeping two people, and all the camping necessities were included

Jake’s answer

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with Autumn Breeze! We’re so glad to hear that the van made a great base for your PNW adventure. That large bed is one of our favorite features too—it’s always nice having the extra space to stretch out after a long day of exploring.
It means a lot to us that you mentioned the camping necessities. We’ve put a lot of thought into equipping our vans with everything you might need so you can focus on the fun part—enjoying the trip—without worrying about the small details. Hearing that it all came together for you makes us really happy.
We truly appreciate you choosing to travel with us and for taking the time to leave a review. As a small, growing business, every bit of feedback helps us improve and also gives future travelers a sense of what to expect. We hope Autumn Breeze gave you some great memories of the Pacific Northwest!
Safe travels and thanks again for being part of our little campervan community.

Jake was an absolutely wonderful host!! The communication was above par, anytime we had questions he was very quick to respond. Even offered to help with giving us tips as to where to go around the state. I have used a lot of Airbnbs & camper vans all over the world & Jake is by far the best host we’ve ever had. Do not hesitate to book a van with him, something you will NOT regret! Thank you again for everything & keeping our trip running smoothly!

Jake’s answer

You’re welcome back anytime for another adventure in Oregon (or beyond). Safe travels!

Had a great 3-day getaway. The camper was cozy/slept 2 of us no problem, and considering the age of the vehicle, it ran great.

Jake’s answer

Thanks so much for the great feedback! I’m really glad you had an awesome 3-day getaway and that the Grizzly Cave was cozy and ran well for you both. It’s an older rig, but we keep it dialed in so it’s reliable and comfy. Appreciate you taking the time to share—hope to host you again soon!

This was our first time renting a camper van, and overall, it was a good experience. Jake's van came stocked with everything we needed for camping and just getting away from it all. One of favorite features was the Jackery generator - it was super handy for keeping all our electronics charged throughout the trip.

Had such an amazing trip in this van! Jake was so helpful and accommodating with anything that came up for us. Had no issues with the van going through different terrains and exploring National parks! Even better, we had access to charging our phone even when we couldn't access electric hookups! Can't say enough great things about this experience, definitely recommend renting this van for your trip.

Jake’s answer

Wow, thank you so much for the kind words! I'm so glad you had an amazing trip in the Winter Forester—it’s awesome to hear the van handled all the different terrains like a champ and kept you powered up even off-grid. It was a real pleasure working with you, and I appreciate you saying I was helpful—it means a lot. You're always welcome back anytime you're planning another adventure. Thanks again for the great review and safe travels!
