Campervan rentals you can actually afford

Published about 2 years 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.

a crazy rescue at sea

Hey Reader! This week saw a wild rescue out of the Pacific ocean from a sailor who left California on his way to Hawaii, and experienced a catastrophic failure. Two weeks into his trip, Kai Soto's mast snapped. His engine had no fuel. His phone was dead. What he had left: PVC pipe, kayak paddles, a bag of oatmeal, and whatever fish and squid landed on deck. So he built a sail out of the paddles and pipe, collected drinking water by sealing seawater in plastic bags and licking the...

SF sucks for van life

Hey Reader! For the past number of days, we've been bumming around the San Francisco Bay area in our campervan visiting friends and family, mountain biking and sailing. This is a wonderful place to visit,.....but not when you're in a camper. Every day, I relentlessly check the area's few campgrounds for cancellations. Full and booked. Every time. The only available campsites are at privately owned RV parks that are basically a parking lot - no beauty, no views - and charging over $100 per...

I’m obsessed with this right now

Hey Reader! This morning I woke up to a crazy text alert on my phone: "High Humidity Detected: 86%" 86% humidity is a whopper. We're at the boatyard in Puerto Peñasco in June, when the sea temp rises and drags the humidity right along with it. Not exactly comfortable conditions. I'm monitoring all this from my phone using a small cellular device called the Necto 4G Multisensor. I set upper and lower limits for heat and humidity, and it texts me the moment things go beyond those limits. No...
