Early bird pricing! Book this one fast!
Are you tired of your cookie-cutter looking Mercedes Sprinter ? Well Shrimpy is for you! Designed by Terminator, this unique camper looks like Nothing else you have ever seen before and will make you feel awesome the entire trip! Definitely a once in a lifetime experience! This is also an extremely rare camper that was only produced for 1 year by a company called Imperial. These were sold for 180K back in 2016. It was previously owned by a pro golfer, and is currently the only one nationwide for rent! With 24MPG you won't need to cash out on your 401K to rent this one out!
No ridiculous charges and fees here, book with confidence and drive it. NO Dumping Fees, Free Propane!
The dinette transforms into a Very cozy spacious bed in the back. Lots of storage throughout! One of the best parts of the camper is that the whole back opens up like a hatch enabling the entire dinette area to directly connect with the outdoors! The whole hatch now acts as a giant awning supported by hydraulics and that's simply the only camper that does that !
Enjoy the wonderful XM Sirius radio during the trip too! Has all the kitchen utensils. Shrimpy also has a separate toilet room and separate shower room, making it super convenient if two people want to use one each at a time.ONE WAY Trips: One way trips are possible with Shrimpy! If you are planning on doing a one way trip and leave Shrimpy in a different state, please contact me first and provide your destination and dates before reserving so we can work out the details and send you a quote.To enquire about any available discounts, please reach out before booking!What's included-2 pillows

If you are planning on not hooking up to shore or campground and do some "Boondocking" make sure you mention it after you book so I can prep you and send you a pamphlet info on Boondocking and how to do it right !

Return the van in the same state you picked it up.

Born and raised in France, came to America in 2000. I absolutely love RVing and enjoy sharing this passion with renters as well! I will be there to answer any questions you may have. My degree is in education, I used to teach Phys Ed and French in Elementary and high school.

5 shrimps out of 5! This RV rental was fabulous. From the rental process to pickup to the continued communication with Chris throughout our trip. We were first time RVers and he made us feel comfortable taking this on and was quick to respond to any all (and odd questions). This van is easy to drive and easy to have fun in. We will 100% rent again from Chris and might try out one of his other rigs. He and the reviews are right, you will be stopped constantly for RV tours and pictures as it’s unique

Chris was a great host. Super informative at pickup, very communicative. We had an issue with the vans cabin AC when parked, and Chris was in constant communication trying to help us fix it. The issue wasn't due to poor maintenance, just a really hot week without shade for the camper to help the AC. We brought our dog and had a great time keeping them with us. The van drove really well - easy to drive for a first time RV driver once you got used to the length in the mirrors. I will definitely be renting from Chris again - really great dude.

It was a great experience. It was a learning curve for me as it was my first RV experience. Chris was very helpful and communicative throughout the rental period. I would certainly rent again.

Air conditioning didn’t always work. The side door didn’t shut right and was very noisy. No tv or generator for the back so the backend was hot during the drive, refrigerator door kept falling off while driving
Chris’s answer
Surprising review because you seemed extremely happy and positive about your trip when you came back and even mentioned you'd definitely rent from me again in the future. I realize it is upsetting you had to pay a deductible due to the crash you had with a large tree branch, but that's how things go and at least you had insurance that covered the damage. to the roof. We had already talked about it prior to booking but there is no TV or generator included in Shrimpy :( Even if there was a generator, it's impossible (and illegal) to use a generator while driving. Thank you for letting me know about the fridge, the whole fridge has been replaced since. Regarding your door complaint I took a look at it and added a little trim that was gone, which prevented any noise. I realize this was your first camper trip and you went really far so you may not have been used to more noise than a regular car however believe it or not Shrimpy is actually very quiet compared to other campers! The A/C does work, so it might have been user error. Always feel free to call me during your future trips if you have any issues so I can walk you through things. Thanks again for the booking and congrats on the new work position on the West Coast you acquired during your trip ! :)
