Winston was a great host. Went over all the functions of the motorhome when I picked it up. My family had a great time exploring the Sequoia National Forest. We had a great time and highly recommend renting this RV.

We’ve rented this RV twice now. Winston is a fantastic host. Very responsive and helpful! Even though the RV is 10yrds old, it’s well maintained and everything you need works well. We really enjoy this RV bc it fits many 24’ camping sites but the back queen size bed can extend outwards which gives the RV a much larger feel.

Frequently asked questions

Q.

What flexibility is available for picking up and dropping off the RV?

A.

We run on a 24 hour clock. I'm self-employed, so please ask for a time that works for you and we'll see if it works for us too. Please note that we may need the RV back in time to turn it around for the weekend or holiday weeks.

Winston is a Superhost

Superhosts are highly-rated and experienced, ensuring you have a fantastic outdoor experience.

We are way too active!! So many hobbies (travel, skiing, soccer, triathlon, hiking, camping, motorcycling, mountain biking, cruising, etc) but only so much time, so while we love using our RV we also love doing other stuff and that's why the RV's available when we're not using it. Oh and we still have to work as well. We have 4 kids, 2 currently in Universities, and one more going soon. Favorite places to go include deserts east of San Diego, beaches, New Mexico, Southern Utah, Zions, Kolob, Bryce Canyon, Wasatch Front. Other trips we want to take in this RV include California coast (done before but not yet in RV), and Redwoods. Also plan to do a cross country trip before too long. For beaches close by we recommend Oceanside Harbor, Paradise by The Sea RV Resort, South Carlsbad State Beach Campground.
