Whether you're flying into the Bay Area to start a bucket-list trip or a local looking for a perfect escape, the Beluga is your reliable and cozy home on wheels.The best part? It's "The Motorhome That... Drives Like a Van!". It fits in a standard parking spot, handles like a van, and is a real pleasure to drive, whether on the highway or maneuvering through a packed campground.Detailed Amenities & FeaturesSleeping (Up to 4):

The Beluga is your personal, mobile cabin, keeping you warm and cozy after a day of hiking among giants in Yosemite or Sequoia. Park by a serene alpine lake and enjoy the kind of peace and quiet the world just can’t offer.Wine Country Weekend: Effortlessly cruise through the rolling hills of Napa or Sonoma. The size of the vehicle makes it easy to navigate narrow country roads and park at your favorite vineyards for a tasting.The Roadtrek Difference: Clever Design & Quality:Roadtreks are legendary for their innovative and space-efficient design. Unlike larger, boxy RVs, the Beluga was built with an unwavering commitment to quality and a clever, compact use of every inch of space.Room to Move: Thanks to a lowered floor and custom roof, there's plenty of headroom for people up to 6 feet tall. The generous 30" wide aisle allows two people to pass by each other with ease.Built for Comfort: The front captain's seats are made with a special molding process used by auto manufacturers, meaning they hold their shape and provide lasting comfort and lumbar support on long drives.Aerodynamic & Efficient: The sleek, low-profile design is exceptionally aerodynamic, which translates to better fuel efficiency and handling compared to other motorhomes.Why Rent The Beluga?As an experienced Airbnb/Vrbo host, I'm obsessed with providing a 5-star experience.
