Campervan rentals you can actually afford

Published 11 months ago • 1 min read

Hey Reader,

One thing I tell people is that if you're considering the van life, rent a campervan first! Renting lets you get a feel for the size of various campervans and which amenities you might want in your own.

But the thing is....so many campervan rentals are flipping expensive! I've seen some that are $300 per day, which isn't a financially viable option for many people.

I wanted to introduce you to Avanti campervans....these guys rent out stealthy, small, affordable minivan campers. Our first van was a minivan, so I'm partial to this type of van for beginner van life, especially if you're on a budget.

Minivan campers do have their limitations, though. They aren't good for living INSIDE, but OUTSIDE. You'll have to do your cooking and hanging out at the picnic table rather than in the van's interior. But I do love how easy they are to park, drive, and maneuver.

If you're considering a minivan for van life, you can read more about renting an Avanti campervan in the below article. And, I'll add another article about minivan camper conversions that are pretty easy given all the conversion kits out there these days.

These Minivan Camper Rentals Might be Your Ticket to an Affordable Van Life Vacation

Campevan rentals can cost a pretty penny. A minivan camper is not only stealthy and easy to drive and park, but its a much more affordable option.

Day 3 of sailing down Baja

Hey Reader! Today is the first day on our passage down the Baja Peninsula that I actually feel okay, maybe even good. We left Long Beach on Saturday night and haven't stopped since. Here's a picture of me on the Long Beach public dock outside Ballast Point hours before we left: Right now we are behind Isla Cedros, protected from the Pacific swell. The wind is light and the weather warm. I slept in two decent shifts: 8:30pm-1230pm, and then again from 730am-1030am. I've always heard that DAY...

Van Life vs. Sailboat Life: Which is Better?

Hey Reader! We've been bopping down the California coast in our new-to-us sailboat, on our way down to Baja and the Sea of Cortez. Right now, we're enjoying Southern California and doing the final fixes before we head out into the ocean. All this time on the sailboat has made me think about some key differences between van life and sailboat living. But first, check out this ad from Timber vans (thanks for clicking on and supporting my advertisers!) --------PAID AD---------- Complete Van...

The one cooking essential I can't live without ☀️

Hey Reader! It was sweltering in the Sea of Cortez as we floated in clear, turquoise waters on our sailboat one day in late May. Hot and muggy, with a permanent sheen of sweat on our bodies. And I REALLY wanted a loaf of sourdough. Too hot to use the oven. Too hot to even use the stove! What was a girl craving bread supposed to do? ☀️ Use the power of that hot sun, that’s what! I pulled out my GoSun Fusion Solar Oven and got to work. It took a little longer than my regular oven, but when I...
