About Joe Magnanelli

We are local San Diegans who love changing up the scenery every once in awhile by leaving our surfboards and beach chairs behind to hit the outdoors with friends and family. This home-on-wheels shares the name of my wife and daughter, after they put in the time with our tent and were ready for a more of a ‘glamy’ and comfortable camping experience. The Val-n-Tina was my gift to them and a win-win for everyone so to speak. We have all been happy with this elevated camping experience. Easy to park and ready for booking, we’d love to share our sprinter with you so you can enjoy your own good times and memories!

Joe was an awesome host who was flexible with pick-up and drop-off, and very accommodating. The camper layout and amenities are great and the kitchen well-stocked. We took it to Joshua Tree and were able to camp at the park with no problems - it was just the right camper for the adventure. Highly recommend Joe and this camper! We had an absolute blast!

Our experience in Val-N-Tina's RV was fantastic! The RV was very clean and well-cared for. The instructions were straightforward, and the RV handled great on the highway. We drove from San Diego to Portland, Oregon, and back without any issues. We will definitely be using Val-N-Tina's RV again in the future!

The van was fantastic. Much nicer than I expected for a rental. I really liked all the screens to keep the bugs out. The heater kept us warm during the nights where temps were in the low 40s. My daughter loved sleeping in the pop up. Joe was fantastic and accommodating. He patiently explained all the systems to me and offered to answer any questions I may have during the trip. Overall this was a great experience and I would do it again..

Joe’s answer

Thanks Ben! It was a pleasure hosting you and your fam! Let me know when you are ready to do it again, we have a discount code for you.

Our experience was incredible! Joe was unbelievably accommodating, was available whenever we needed him, and ensured we had everything we needed for an amazing trip! We cannot say enough positive things about Joe. He gave us wonderful recommendations as well and we definitely want to book with him again. Not to mention the van is beautiful, super clean, and had everything we needed. We have taken many trips as a family internationally and this was one of our top trips!

Joe’s answer

They were one of my favorite renters so far! So happy you had an amazing trip and hope to see you next time you are in SD!

Joe was wonderful to work with and a great communicator! Camper was pristine and we loved it. Comfortably sleeps 4. Upper sleep area was very comfy (long for taller people). Heater worked great as was in 40’s at night. Easy to drive and use all the gadgets to plug in at campsite. This was our first time camping in a RV (we usually do tent camping) and was easier than we thought. 2nd row of seats not car seat friendly as they don’t have the anchor on back of seats or anchor bars between seat cushions so make sure if you rent, your kids are old enough to use lap belt only. We ended up driving separate car and RV as was not safe for car seat to only use lapbelt. Overall a great trip and rental experience!

Thank you Nesia! It was great hosting your trip, Im glad your experience work out!

Pickup and drop off were really flexible and easy. The van worked great and our family of 4 loved having the pop top and back sleeping areas. The newer Ram chassis make driving life much easier with a big screen and wireless carplay.

Joe’s answer

Thanks Damon! Loved hosting you and your Fam!

Val-N-Tina’s Camper was perfect for our family outing. Essential items were well thought out and truly had everything we needed. Very clean and Joe did a great job initially explaining all the perks it offers!
