This was a great choice! Eddie is the best! Great communication, and he went above and beyond to make sure our family was comfortable during our stay. The RV is clean, well kept and has great features -- outdoor shower, outdoor cooking area with additional fridge, two tvs, great layout with room separation, big sink, inside fridge/freezer, spacious, lots of storage space, etc. It was great for our family of 7. Eddie delivered and set up early and was so great to rent from. Highly recommend!

2025 Thor Motor Coach Class B
We had a fantastic 7 day roadtrip traveling through California visiting various California Missions with our 2 children and dog! We stayed at several camp sites and easily hooked up to facilities. Gurvinder’s Thor Motor Coach was PERFECT! It was comfortable for our family of 4 (plus dog). Two slept comfortable in each of the sleeping areas. We loved the ability to easily unhook from campsite and head into to town to explore Missions. Moving was easy and any parking lot accommodated the vehicle. For a family 4, I recommend setting aside plenty of time to carefully pack the vehicle with the necessities only! We brought an extra table and small grill as well as 4 chairs and bedding. The vehicle’s hot plate came in handy, the pot and pan provided along with plates, cups and utensils were appreciated. The bathroom was easy to use. Gurvinder prepped us well on how to use the vehicle and quickly responded to questions! We would definitely consider this vehicle for future trips!

How far in advance should I book an RV campground near Santee?

To guarantee your RV site—especially at Santee Lakes or popular spots along the coast—book 2–3 months in advance for busy seasons like spring and summer.

Are there any driving considerations unique to Santee and the San Diego area?

Santee is perfect for RVers—wide local streets and low traffic make navigation easy. Be alert on SR-52 and SR-67, where afternoon congestion can build near rush hour. Many campgrounds offer roomy sites, but downtown San Diego’s low bridges mean watch your clearance if you head south. Pro tip: Use Google Maps' ‘RV mode’ or check height clearances before city drives.
