Jucy RV (Small Rental)

I was out camping this last week with my truck camper, not too far from home when I spotted this set up in a local city park in Anacortes WA. These are rental units, and I can't help but think what a neat way for people to get out and enjoy camping on a small scale. Really a good thing for folks who just want to get out for an occasional over-night.





Hope these people don't mind me taking pictures of them without them knowing. Hans

    That's so cool! They rent in Vegas, San Fiasco, LA and all over NZ and Australia?

    Here's a photo from their web site of what the camper van looks like inside.

    Thanks for sharing the info and photos.

    I met a couple from France using one while visiting Zion NP. They rented out of Las Vegas.

    This is a wonderful idea. It can give those that want to be close to nature a good safe way to do it. I hope it catches on elsewhere.

    Cool concept.....hadn't seen those yet. Throw the kids up top and room to sleep inside for folks. Decent kitchen out the back.

    Pricing wasn't too bad ($57/night) UNTIL
    Collision Ins/Supplement.......$22/night
    Mileage......100 miles /day $12/night

    Probably close to nightly hotel rates/you at least you get to go camping :B

    We saw those and another company at the Grand Canyon NP this past spring. I bet a whole lot cheaper than renting a class c.

    I saw one last year here in a So Cal campground,It came in mid day with 2 people and a half empty bike rack.

    Just before dark 2 people came in on bicycles,they spent the night then headed out. I asked about that and they were going from San Diego to the Redwoods,taking turns as they went.

    Skipping some of the most dangerous parts when necessary. Sounded like a neat way to go.

    They are a NZ Company,that strangely has not broken into the Australian market much, unlike Maui Motorhomes

    I've seen quite a few of them around here in the last few years. We woke up next to one in Yosemite a couple of years ago. We were amazed when 4 pretty good sized adults climbed out of the van in the morning. It didn't look like it was big enough to fit all of them in there but apparently it was.

    Primarily euro tourists driving these things. You can rent for $50-$75 per day.
