About Nicolai Gaina
Passionate about life from every angle, I'm a globetrotting, football-loving, snowboard shredding, fitness enthusiast who knows that hard work deserves hard play. Fluent in three languages (Russian, Romanian, English), and always ready for a new adventure, I carry the energy of my Moldovan roots wherever I go. Fun fact? I can translate 'goal' into three languages faster than a striker can hit the back of the net!

Nicolai is amazing. Very responsive to any and all questions. Katusha is very well kept and comfortable and had everything that was needed. Nicolai supplied everything but the food. Couldn’t have asked for a better host or vehicle. Definitely will be renting again

Nicolai’s “Katusha” ran like a champ. This vancamper felt like it just rolled off the dealer floor. We appreciated Nicolai taking the time to review all its features prior to our trip. It was enough space for my wife, my mother, our dog Skip and myself. Although Nicolai accepts pets, make sure no pet hair remains when you return it. In March 2024, we took it to the Russian River Valley using Harvest Hosts camping sites on wineries and farms (Pocket Creek Farm & Tara Bella Winery). Although it is not equipped with an awning, we truly enjoyed its amenities since it was cozy inside during the rainstorms. The cabin coach heater was very helpful since we had ‘shore power’ on 2 of the three sites we stayed. One more thing, “Katusha” has everything you might need for a ‘turnkey’ camping trip. I can imagine a couple flying out to California and having this thing ready to ‘roll’ for their trip. I’ve already recommended Nicolai to a few friends and family!

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience renting Katusha from Nikolai. Nikolai was flexible in coordinating check out and return. The checkout experience with Nikolai was thorough and pleasant. The RV was in excellent condition. Nikolai provided plenty of bedding and lots of kitchen items. The RV is quite easy to handle. We drove on some very narrow and winding (and windy) roads and had no problems managing it. Setup and take down of the pop top and table are pretty quick and easy. Swiveling the driver’s seat around to face the table is a bit awkward but manageable. Our fuel efficiency was about 16 MPG.
We recommend Katusha renting from Nikolai.

Fantastic van and experience. Exploring California in Nicolai's van was awesome. The van is fully equipped with everything you need to camp both on and off grid. We took an 8 day trip with 2 small kids up highway 1 to Redwoods national park and stayed at state parks and roadsides along the way. The van is easy to drive, park, and set up. It's almost new with low miles. It's exactly as described in the listing and more. Nicolai is extremely responsive and made extending our rental by one day an easy experience. I can't recommend renting this van enough.

Nicolai was amazingly responsive throughout the whole process. The RV was in great shape, prepared ahead of time, so we didn't waste any time.

The RV was terrific! Clean. Easy to use all the features. Nicolai was flexible with pick-up/drop-off. This was a wonderful experience as my son and I created core memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you Nic!

Nicolai was an excellent host. Very knowledgeable about the RV and was quick to answer any questions we had. The RV is absolutely spectacular you will not be disappointed renting this. We had it for 8 days and traveled up the coast of California and Oregon and everything worked absolutely perfect and very comfortable. Having a shower in the middle of nowhere is a life saver. Can't wait to rent it out again for my next trip!

Nic was very professional; and got back to me with my many changes due to flights prompt. Even provided a shuttle to the airport home for half the price of a taxi. Would do again. Best vacation to date!!
