Campervan rentals you can actually afford

Published over 1 year 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.

17 Mistakes New Cruisers Make

Hey Reader! When we first cast off on our CT-41 sailboat headed down to Mexico in 2020, we were so excited. There was a LOT to learn about cruising that differed from our simple sailing and anchoring around the San Francisco Bay, which we'd done since 2016. Looking back now, each frustration taught us something valuable about what it really takes to live and travel by boat. If you’re new to cruising — or just dreaming about it — these lessons will help you skip the headaches and sail with a...

Our last-minute camper trip to Italy 🤣

Hey Reader! Just a couple weeks ago, I had no idea we were going to come back to Italy this year. But when Indie campers offered us a camper in exchange for a review on my blog, it was hard to refuse. Especially when I'm so into travel hacking with points that I found AMAZING flight deals using my Capital One Venture rewards card. (two one-way airfares on Air France from MSP-Venice for just $50 and 20,000 points). So, we booked the tickets and picked up the camper just five days later in...

My road trip secret weapon

Hey Reader! Yes, I live in a van, and no, I am not a huge fan of road trips. The long hours in the car, the researching where to camp, the meals on the go, searching for water to fill our tanks. I need exercise! I hate sitting around! But there is ONE THING that keeps me sane when we do our cross-country drives. And that is Planet Fitness. The Yuma, Arizona Planet Fitness No matter where we go in the U.S., we plan our routes and stops wherever there's a Planet Fitness. We can get out of the...
