About Christian Gerling

We have lived in the Northwest all of our lives. We grew up camping and our family joined Thousand Trails in 1976 which made camping super easy and cheap to do while growing up. Our Favorite trip was to Colorado, Utah and Idaho in November. We were able to enjoy Arches National Park (Our Kids called it "Radiator Springs" after their favorite movie Cars), Canyon Lands National Park, and Bryce Canyon along with Hot Springs Pools in Glenwood Springs, CO and Lava Hot Springs, ID. The kids loved the Museum of Natural Curiosity at Thanksgiving Point in Lehi, UT. We have also made some amazing memories along the Washington (Olympic Peninsula is a Must) and Oregon Coasts with favorites being Neah Bay (Don't Miss the trail to Cape Flattery and the day trip to Shi Shi Beach) Westport (Walk or Bike from the Grays Harbor Lighthouse into Town along the ocean front trail), Fort Stevens (Explore the WWII Bunkers) to name just a few.

Renting the Mini-Winnie from Christian was a straight forward and easy process. He has the routine down pat and quickly and efficiently walks , even first time RV'ers , through everything they need to know to hit the road. The RV itself was very comfortable, well provisioned and easy to drive. The trip was memorable for me and my buddy and would consider renting from Christian again.

Such a great experience renting from Christian! Very detailed send off of the RV and he even topped us off on gas for our journey over to The Gorge for Labor “Dave” Weekend. The RV was super clean and was very well stocked with everything we needed. Great dishes, pots and pans, silverware, coffee pot, filters, towels, etc. We would definitely rent this again!

Suzanne took wonderful care of our RV while attending the Dave Matthews Concert at the Gorge in George, Washington! Super appreciate her communication and would absolutely rent our RV to her again.

We took a 5 week trip with Minnie and it was incredible. It was a nice place to come 'home' to after a day of hiking. Minnie took us to so many amazing places without any problems
Christian was a fantastic host. He was quick to respond to every question and had some good ideas for our trip. Would definitely recommend renting from Christian, he is super kind.
We made some nice photos of Minnie but unfortunately something went wrong with my review and I am not able to share them in my review.
Christian, thanks for renting us your RV and being a great host!

I has two weeks in Christian's RV. I travelled throughout mnt Rainier NP, and Wenatchee NP for two weeks. It was my home away from home, and it did everything I asked of it including driving great, sleeping comfortably, keeping me clean, preparing my food, and a place to chill out after hiking.
Christian was so easy to deal with, fast and reliable and concise.

Christian is very knowledgeable and helpful host, the RV is clean and surprisingly comfortable for a family of 4. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip around the Olympic peninsula and have already started planning our next RV trip. I’d highly recommend Minnie to anyone!

Christian’s answer

Thank you Steven for taking such great care of Minnie for your trip around Olympic Peninsula! I'm glad that even without any reservations, you discovered that you were able to find campsites in Olympic National Park in the middle of July! It was also great that you discovered that Minnie is the perfect rig off-grid camping at Forest Service and National Park campgrounds were hookups were limited or not available - its a great way to camp. Please consider us for your next RV trip!

My husband and I rented the RV to explore Olympic and North Cascades with our infant daughter. It was perfect for our needs. Christian was wonderful to work with- super responsive to any questions we had and flexible with our request to meet us at the airport at arrival and hotel on our return.

This was our second time renting this RV from Christian, it's been a couple years since the last time but the vehicle has been very well maintained. Everything worked perfectly and we had no issues. Added an extra person on this trip and there was plenty of room for 5 adults. Thought it was going to be tight but we were pleasantly surprised at how much space we had. RV came with everything we needed at the camp site. Looking forward to our next annual trip. Thanks again Christian for taking great care of us!

Christian is an incredible host with the perfect RV for your upcoming adventure! From the moment we booked the RV, Christian was very helpful: he sent us a great list of camping suggestions for the Olympic Peninsula. We decided to pay for him to drop it off with us at our location in Seattle. Christian gave us a thorough and helpful intro. to the RV and we were ready to go! The RV was fully stocked with everything we would need for our family camping trip. All we had to bring was clothing, food and pillows. In true WA form, it rained almost every day of our trip, but that didn't bother us one bit because we had our cozy RV. We enjoyed coming back from our rainy hikes to our warm and toasty home away from home, where we had a full kitchen to make lunch in, every day of our travels! There were 4 of us in the RV and we did not feel cramped at all. It was the perfect size for us. It was easy to drive and park at all of the camping sites we went to. The RV has a well designed system, and could even be used at sites with no running water or electricity - so we enjoyed camping at Kalaloch, which is more primitive but has amazing views! The water heater in the RV is amazing, and we enjoyed hot showers all week! We were clean and warm everyday. All in all - we had an unforgettable trip. Thank you Christian!

The trip went really great! The RV was surprisingly easy to drive and very few places where we couldn't go due to size. It was well stocked with everything you need. For the kitchen and bathroom. Lots of nice towels and cleaning products. Communication with Christian was great. He even picked us up from the airport with our RV late at night and dropped us up super early in the morning. He also gave us great camping and sightseeing tips. It was a perfect trip.

Christian was an amazing host. I originally booked the RV for the wrong dates. Christian was very flexible in helping me find another date and in giving me tons of great recommendations (including dropped pins on maps!) of where to go and what do to on our trip. He reached out to coordinate pick-up and throughout our trip was a text or call away and ready to help address any question I had. The check-in process was also super thorough and thoughtful. I had the RV for 4 nights and toured the WA and OR coasts during sun, wind and rain. I was concerned I might run into issues, but with the helpful prep and guidance, I felt like everything was a breeze.
