The draw was a newer van with higher ceilings that did not require me to worry about mechanical breakdowns as we headed down 101 to the Santa Barbara area and then traveled back up north for 8 days along the coast. The van drove well and was comfortable to drive and ride in.

Things to know; the van was very clean; the refrigerator kept everything cold; the bed and roof top tent are very comfortable; the linens are great; we stayed warm and the nights were probably mid 40"s; I wish we had a lantern for the evenings when we didn't have time for a fire (we had headlamps and a small light for the picnic table); the van lights shut down after about an hour of reading at night: pour over coffee make works great.

Would I do this again? Yes. Setting up our camp site became easier each night. People were friendly at the camp sites, and we shared our coffee with a few. read less

We took one of these for a four day camping trip up in Northern Sierras, and it was great. Everything inside a van is simple, but with a purpose. Everything is easy to operate in the field. Bed is spacious and comfortable. Shades can completely black out the interior for good night sleep. Roof top tent is a lot of fun for kids. Kitchen sink and fridge let you take care of food easily. Van comes with boatload of camping equipment (chairs, table, gas stove, etc). I can totally see myself taking a month long road trip in one of these across the country. read less

Nice big windows and it sits high up, so we had amazing views for the passengers going up Hwy 1 and over the Golden Gate Bridge.
The drop off and return facility is close to San Francisco and very near SFO, so an easy place to rent from if you happen to be flying in to San Francisco.
Nate gave a very thorough orientation of the van, so we were comfortable driving and setting it up to camp.
The rooftop tent is easy to use and very comfortable, it has a gear loft for your stuff and a lamp to use at night. lots of storage under the benches inside the van and a handy sink for washing up.
Makes camping in fall and winter months easy! read less

The transformation from a plain Jane Ford Transit to a Trekker Van truly sets these vans apart. We had a highly functional cleaning area, comfortable and spacious sleeping quarters, ample storage space, large refrigerator and a loaded camping kit. This “pick up and go” kit allowed us to cook breakfast, lunch and dinner for 8 days without packing a single camping tool (we flew in from Canada). The V6 allowed us to average ~ 18 mpg which helped save a lot on gas. Having a home on wheels made our road trip around Cali fantastic, and could not imagine doing it any other way. read less

If you're even considering renting from Trekker Vans just book with them now! We used them for our anniversary trip to California last month and couldn't have been happier. The Van was in excellent condition and spotlessly cleaned. It was so easy to drive, comfortable, and parking was a breeze. Even though we had places to stay on our trip and didn't sleep in the van it was the perfect vehicle to roam around with. It was so nice to pull up to one of California's many landmarks or beautiful overlooks and have a comfortable place to eat or lay down and relax. The founder of this place is great! He takes time to show you around the van and explain how everything works. It's great to deal with someone that really knows how to provide a truly amazing customer service experience. We will most certainly be recommending Trekker Vans to all our friends and family. We can't wait to come back and make this our normal vehicle rental when visiting California! Keep up the great work! read less

The owner was incredibly helpful in working with our last-minute scheduling and knew the vans inside and out. Well designed, VERY clean, and relatively spacious vans. The easy-to-use camp stove, cookware, and camp chairs included were a major benefit. The return policy (clean van, full gas) required some coordination at the end of our trip but all in all I would strongly recommend this company. read less

My girlfriend and I rented a van for a few days on our first trip to the west coast, it was the best part of our trip. We went down to Santa Cruz, Big Sur, and headed back up to Sonoma before returning the van.

I was one of those people looking at Lost vans, Juicy vans, and Escape vans, until I stumbled upon Trekker accidentally. I was on the booking page of Escape vans but when I found Trekker I immediately called and started booking, best decision ever.

Before the we got the van, we had the warmest greeting by the owner. He is the kind of dude you meet and you feel like you want to be his friend. He gave us suggestions for our trip, gave us his personal cell incase we had issues, and even helped us with suggestions for the rest of our trip after we returned the van. The layout of the van was simple, efficient, and had everything we needed. It was also really clean and you could tell it was a really nice van. It was my first time driving a vehicle of this size, but it was so much easier to drive than I would've thought, and it still fit in regular sized parking spots. The bed is really comfortable and the comforter is so warm that you dont really want to get up. Making meals was easy with the kitchen set provided, and having some storage and fridge space for food was a great amenity in the van.

I have been dreaming of taking a camper van along the coast for years and Trekker vans empowered my trip to be better than I had imagined it would be. Returning the van was sad, I definitely want to return and use a Trekker Van again. read less

(call me crazy) According to my research these were my options with the other van rental companies. I don't want to stick out like a sore thumb when I am driving (either recreationally or day-to-day).

Happy to say Trekker Vans "gets it". Their vans are clean, well equipped, and neutral in color! The owner, Nate, is awesome. He was helpful, and extremely knowledgeable. You can see that this is not just a professional endeavour for him but rather an outlet for his passion for exploration - something we shared which was nice.

Hopefully someday I will be able to have my own weekend warrior van but until that time, I will most certainly be coming back to Trekker Vans to blaze new trails and satisfy my wayward aspirations... read less

Nate was knowledgable about the area of our trip and was able to give us some travel guidance.

We loved the van!!! Both driver and passenger were comfortable and confident on the road. We didn’t have any mechanical difficulties.

Nate’s design and the van’s amenities worked well for us. The extra battery gave us charging capabilities, a refrigerated drawer and evening lights. The van was set up nicely with curtains for sleeping privacy, a great little butane cooking stove for morning coffee, and a swivel passenger seat to create a living space.

It was excellent to carry our bed with us. We just drove from one beautiful campground to another, exploring the natural areas, and crawling into our bed when the sun went down. So simple.

Even though I give Trekker Vans and our experience with Nate’s camper van a rating of 5 stars, I have to mention one area that needs to be improved. Nate, please design some sort of ventilation system for our next trip!

Thanks, Barbara and Bob read less

I took a group of 4 up to the Feather River in the Plumas National forest. I was the one that slept up top and enjoyed it quite a bit. It can be breezy to keep cool and the views are nice.

He hooks you up with much of your camping essential needs.

RVs are difficult to drive and huge. Not to mention gas mileage. This is an easy to drive, more energy efficient option. Highly recommended! read less

There's nothing more relaxing than sitting on the back bench with the doors open, reading a book and watching the waves! Definitely recommend Trekker Vans for a unique vacation adventure. read less
