Ruby is a beautiful 1990 Volkswagen Vanagon Adventurewagen Camper. This Vanagon was mechanically restored for a better driving and camping experience. It has an automatic transmission. We have installed a few new and exciting upgrades to Ruby, like a 12v A/C system for those warm nights, and a built-in Propane heater for those cool nights.

Bruce was amazing from start to finish. This rental was just what I was looking for - a classic VW camper van experience.
