The Berry Family :: Illinois

Hi Bill,


I can't thank you enough for going above and BEYOND with all your help with our trip. I still am in shock about you driving my beloved iPhone to Anaheim for me. 


Mom had a wonderful 60th birthday. We got to see so many sites around San Diego in one of the coolest rides! Callan still talks about Rell Sun, someone asked me if that was a person. I had to answer yes & no. For Callan Rell Sun will just always be "our" VDub. This trip was a long time coming and was not as planned but it was awesome. Rell had no problems, drove and drove for us. Highway 101 in a VW Bus - what more can you ask for? We'll have amazing memories for a lifetime. 


I attached some pictures of us with Rell. One of my favorites is the one where Callan could not stay awake anymore - too much vacation! Callan is working on some artwork for you. We'll get it into the mail for you shortly. 


Thanks again!
The Berry Family - Deb, Jason, Sara, Mary & Callan

Ruffles recommends renting a vintage camper for your bachelorette party :)

I wanted to leave you with something fun for the weekend! I spotted these vintage VW campers over at one of my favorite blogs, Please sir, and I had to share with my vintage brides. Snail Trail is a company based out of London that rents vintage campers, trailers and even this adorable red Fiat 500 available for special occasions and photo shoots. The first thing that came to mind was how fun it would it be to rent one of these cuties for a bachelorette party? Though the caravans have quite literally a little more mileage than the VW campers and are mostly available for photoshoots only, the VW campers are perfect for road trips. Each camper has their own name and quirky personality, and seats 4-5 people.

In the United States, you can rent VW campers in California via here, in Washington via here, in Hawaii via here and here. If you know of more, please leave a comment a below!

While we, at Vintage Surfari Wagons, do not have vintage trailers to hire, yet... we do have a collection of restyled VW campers. A large number of our guests have rented our classic Vdubs for 'Save the Date' photo shoots, vintage wedding transport, honeymoon excursions and memory making anniversary trips!

Been Seen writes "California and the Volkswagen camper van, they go together like sun and surf. Throw a board on top and an ice chest inside, and you're all set for the quintessential West Coast road trip.

In fact, say the folks at Vintage Surfari Wagons, the VW bus is responsible for tickling the imagination of countless adventurers. You just jump in and go, travel slowly, and end up on the oddest adventures. As soon as you set out, they say, you'll be met by friendly waves, peace signs and shakas. And that, after all, is what California's all about. Peace, love and road trips."

What better way to check out U.C. Davis than in a VW bus!

Hi Bill and Diane!

Just wanted to drop you one more note to say THANK YOU! This trip was the most memorable, enjoyable, adorable, non-affordable trip ever! The boys are still talking about it with their friends and the pictures are priceless! I have better pictures than the one attached, but I think you get the idea when you see these kids smile (you can actually see their teeth!).

Again, thank you thank you thank you!
