Everything was great and Andre make sure to we had an awesome trip using his trailer! I’d recommend renting from him!
Jacqueline B. - Aug 2026
We rented Andre’s trailer for a wedding weekend in Sonoma, and the entire experience was outstanding. Andre was highly communicative and easy to reach. The trailer was clean, well maintained and the bed was incredibly comfortable! Seamless drop off and pick up made the process effortless. We highly recommend Andre and woo definitely book with him again for our next trip up north!
Danielle L. - Aug 2026
A truly excellent rental experience. The host was accommodating on pickup time, it was clean, everything worked, and it was fully equipped. Dishes, cookware, bedding, camping chairs, games, movies, and so many miscellaneous items. When we thought of something we needed it always turned out to be in a drawer. Dropping off was smooth and easy. We've camped for years with an A-frame trailer and this was our first time with a camping van. We love our A-frame but now we want one just like Ms. Retro.
Randall S. - Jun 2026
Fantastic trip with Miss Retro! We rented Miss Retro for three nights during Thanksgiving to camp with friends in Olema CA - everything g was great! The van is well equipped for two, with a generous sized bed and well set up kitchen. The van was cozy for sleeping and hanging out and we prepped gravy and potatoes on the inside stove burners / Maria and Isaac were great hosts, communicative, friendly and everything was as described.
