About William Jarvis

Honest Camper lets your rent retro Volkswagen or modern Mercedes Benz campers to explore the open road of Canada's West Coast (we have vans in San Fancisco during the winter as well). Maybe you’re not quite feeling the financial spend that comes with the hotel plus rental car. Or maybe the days of waking up sore, tired, and in a tent, are not your cup of red bull anymore. Why not try existing in under 90 sq ft of clean, comfort filled, minimal living for a change? Vancouver is the absolute perfect hub for you to start your adventure from too. Honestly, whatever direction you drive from, you’ll find what you’re looking for, and amazing experiences that you didn’t expect.

We are a family with 3 teenagers and we took a two-week trip from Vancouver to Calgary. We had an amazing experience thanks to our van, which was fully equipped. We just brought an extra tent so that 5 of us could sleep. We found it very convenient to travel with a van rather than a heavy camper. Check-in and drop-off were easy and the Honest Team is helpful and friendly.

We had a great time using the van around Squamish, it was the perfect adventure mobile!

Great trip! Easy pick up and drop off - very convenient. Good communication with William - through out the trip - responsive.
Specious campervan. For my personal preference I would like some shelves above the bed but that’s just me because we do have tons of stuff (especially with 2 kids 🙈😂).
Tent on the roof was easy to put up and down and fun for the kids.
Second row seats easy to fold down too which was convenient when cooking.
Well equipped kitchen with all you need.
Blinds for the windows - I only covered some and it was enough. Very comfy bed - linens provided which was great too.
Everything was great! I wish we could stay longer…

Great camper and really well equipped with everything needed. Clean & filled with thoughtful details that made our experience top quality! Also very friendly & flexible "host". Highly recommended.

We had an amazing trip.
The instructions were clear and when we didn't know what to do William was around to answer through whatsApp. The camper came with everything we expected and we certainly made a great use of all the gear and items.

The van was great! A previous renter had damaged the windows so we were unable to use them but they were headed out to be fixed after us. Disappointing but I guess you can’t really control that. Also the fridge broke but William was available to troubleshoot it with us and offered to purchase a cooler and refunded for food lost to make it right. Great communication and a great van. Very minimal as stated but just enough for what you need. Pack light! I don’t think four adults would fit well but if you have young kids this would be great. We were two adults traveling together and very comfortable. We didn’t use the tent so can not speak to that. Would rent again!!

Excellent service all round. William was very accommodating of our needs around pick up and drop off. The whole process was very straightforward (the best I've had with rentals). The Mercedes Metris camper was in great condition - very clean and comfortable, and clearly well serviced. Would definitely recommend.

We had an awesome trip. The van was perfect for our family of four for a week of mixed weather in the spring desert. The van had everything we needed and nothing we didn’t (big plus when you are working with a small space!). We only plugged in on our first night and the solar covered the rest of the trip never dipping below half battery. Hosts were great! The bed is on the short side of you are 6’+ but that’s probably par for the course for vans. We would definitely rent this van again!

This is our second time renting from Honest Camper, and it won't be our last. Camper worked really well, and was stocked with everything we needed for our week long get-away. Communication with William was also top notch. Delighted to give this a five star recommendation.
