Campervan rentals you can actually afford

Published 10 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.

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...

The question everyone wants to know 👀

Hey Reader, There's one question I hear over and over about van life: Do you have a TOILET in there? My answer is this: No, we do NOT have a toilet. This is just a matter of personal preference. It doesn't mean YOU can't have a toilet in YOUR van. There are so many cool options these days for campervan toilets, including the Cuddy composting toilet. This is a smaller, more portable version of a composting toilet that would fit perfectly inside a campervan's secret cupboard. Van lifer Sierra...

Why I lived in a car

Hey Reader! Back in 2015, I spent $21,000 a year on rent to live in the San Francisco Bay area. When I think about that now, it seems crazy. That's so much money!And what did I have to show for it? A tiny apartment I was never in because I was always working. A constant hustle to pay for a place to sleep.Then I met Tom. He looked at my finances and said something I’ll never forget:“What if you just… didn’t pay rent?”I laughed at first. What do you mean, not pay rent? That’s just life. But...
