Real stories from real adventurers — here's what people are saying after hitting the road with Vander.
Alyssa Parlich
Appalachia · October 2025
My best friend and I rented the Appalachia for a music festival and it was nothing short of perfect. Plenty of space, the stove and toilet were the cherry on top. Will absolutely be using Vander again.
Tara Butler
First campervan Trip · October 2025
The communication was absolutely stellar — so patient, accommodating, and knowledgeable every step of the way. As a first-time renter I felt completely at ease thanks to their clear guidance.
Lee Bissett
DMV Cruiser · August 2025
An excellent choice for my family's first RV camping experience. The DMV Cruiser had everything we needed, was clean and ready to go, and Justin made pick-up and return smooth and easy.
Frequently Asked Questions
RVs have their appeal and can offer a wide range of amenities and comforts. However, these additional capabilities come at the price of increased size and complexity. Our campervans are designed to be easy to drive and simple to operate. You won’t need a special license, and we walk you through all functions (kitchen, bed, storage, heat) before you leave.
