Being from and spending most of our time out in the Midwest, you don’t see too many RV Rentals. Working the Corp of Engineer Parks for the past ten years, I think I can count on one hand how many we actually had come through the parks that we worked in.
But spending time out West/Southwest it has become a different story. Since leaving Quartzsite and touring around the Lake Mead area and now here at Zion National Park, it seems that for every 10 RV’s that come in, one will be a rental. Whether it be a El Monte RV, Apollo, Road Bear RV Rental, RV 4 Rent, and Camping World just to name the ones that we have seen thus far. But the one that intrigued us the most were these most colorful vans that we started to see in just one weekend here at Zion.
We can’t but help wonder who the creator of these vans are. Are they Yuppies that haven’t grown up? In any case these vans defiantly catch your eye-that is for sure.
But the most thing that catches your eye about these vans, is the saying on the back….
Notice the saying just under “ESCAPE”? Now wouldn’t that catch your eye?
The vans that we have seen have shelving in the back for pots and pan, clothing, what ever you need it for, along with a small 12v refrigerator, camp stove & 5 gal. water jug. There is a full size bed for sleeping and a little more storage for your belongings. The kids we ran into told us that they rented theirs out of Las Vegas for 21 days and paid just over $1000.00 plus fuel. All the vans that we did see were licensed out of California, so we figure that is probably the home base for these unique vans.
Who ever is behind the bright colorful vans, has a good thing going, and with our economy the way it is, sure hope he/she is making a good name for themselves. Why didn’t we think of this?????
