Glamping in a B-Van
It has become a luxurious trend to “glamp” in non-conventional lodgings, such as a deluxe tent with outdoor amenities, a suspended tree house in a National Forest, or a tiny house on an Alpaca farm. People are seeking some newness and excitement, as long as they still benefit from all the comfort and security a reliable accommodation can provide.

Will you be using your B-Van full-time? If not, consider renting it out as a guest house!
The renting prices you could get out of your modern stylish guest house would certainly be higher than a regular hotel room or even an apartment, because of how unique and thus sought after it is, compared to regular lodgings (that are hence devaluated).
To give you a brief idea, the average price in the US for glamping is around $125 (and can go up to $3,000 per night!).
💰 For your B-Van, you could aim for a daily price range around $150 to $300. 💰
If you live in a city, your B-Van would be a great fit for people seeking autonomy and simplicity, inside an urban environment that can be at times overwhelming.
If you live in the countryside, you offer a comfortable outdoor experience for campers willing more comfort and space than a camping tent, without having to be constrained in a hotel room cut off from nature.

Elevate any outdoor experience!
If you have a backyard for your new trendy guest house, think about all the amenities you can add, to bring up value to your renting investment! Here are some examples:
- Roll out your awning, set up camping chairs, and have a little fire pit on the side for barbecue afternoons!
- Bring out your video projector, lay down a few beanie bags on the grass, and enjoy a cinema session under the stars!
- Invest in a rooftop deck with two sun loungers, for drinks and fresh appetizers at sunsets!
- Use the kitchen as a little outdoor bar for cocktail parties!
You would probably want to be the first to benefit from these installations. The good news is, you choose which period you’d like to rent your B-Van, and when you reserve it for yourself, your family, and friends!
Here are some online platforms for you to rent your B-Van as a guest house:
- Airbnb (campers section)
- GlampingHub
- Hipcamp
This type of investment has the advantage of conserving the mileage of your vehicle exclusively for your road trips.

Traveling in a B-Van
When do you plan on traveling with your B-Van? If you use it only for vacations, a few months a year, or on weekends, would you rather have it sit in your garage the rest of the time? Or invest it as a campervan rental?

More and more people are attracted to hitting the road in a beautiful and practical build, without necessarily being willing to invest time or money to buy one. That is why renting your B-Van as a recreational vehicle can be a good additional wage for your income.
Why a B-Van?
- Tourists are seeking more autonomy and freedom when they travel without having to systemically depend on hotels, restaurants, or even campgrounds. Your B-Van is made to go anywhere off-the-grid, no need for campground hookups. You are free!
- Compared to a classic RV, your B-Van has the benefit of being more compact and versatile, yet with plenty of space inside to live in. Perfect for a road trip without constraints.
💰 A good starting rental price for a fully converted vehicle would be $200-300 per night. 💰

- A kitchen to store and cook your own meals, with fresh and healthy food
- A lovely couch to chill out on or welcome friends over
- A closed indoor environment, cut off from the noise outside, as well as from the gusts of wind, dust, and rain
- An air-conditioned room and some fresh water, to cool down from the hot weather
- USB outlets to charge your phone (or any other devices)
- A secure place to store your valuables
- Plenty of storage space to bring all your equipment (like floaties, standup paddles, hammocks, bicycles to explore the surroundings, your chest of funky colorful costumes, and whatever your imagination comes up with…) 🙂
