Campervan rentals you can actually afford

Published 5 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.

55+ Gift Ideas Van Lifers Actually Want

Hey Reader, Our campervan is FULL of stuff. Sometimes, I wonder how we got so much stuff, and how it all fits in such a small space.

How these 10 van lifers make money on the road

Hey Reader, We've been hanging out in San Francisco for the last couple of days, visiting family and stealth camping on city streets. Stealth camping isn't my favorite thing - it's a bit nerve-wracking - but it's really the only way to be in or near the city for dinnertime. Plus, we gave $200 to the local economy, so hopefully that's payment enough for taking a parking spot for a couple of nights. Anyway, I am plugging away working even while visiting people in the Bay area. And THIS, how to...
