BATTERY POWER: Please note that while roadsurfer RVs come with solar panels, the batteries are not equipped to last for prolonged periods without connecting to shore power.
TRAVELING IN WINTER: Please note that all our motorhomes in Canada undergo “hibernation” during the winter months (from November to March). This involves emptying or filling all boilers and pipes with antifreeze, including the camper’s water tanks. Consequently, water usage in the vehicles, such as from the fresh water tap, shower, or toilet, is unavailable during this period. To prevent vehicle damage, kindly ensure the water tank remains empty throughout your journey. Regrettably, any damage resulting from failure to comply will incur charges.

Whether you’re taking a trip to the Sunshine Coast, renting an RV or camper van and exploring Vancouver Island or venturing further into the mountains is the ideal way to travel. The city is famous for its cosmopolitan cool atmosphere, with the Gastown district and the colorful Granville Island markets being popular spots for tourists.

Best time of year to visit Vancouver
Wondering when is the best time to book an RV rental in Vancouver? We recommend visiting between June and September when you’ll have the best chance of dry weather and plenty of events to choose from. However, if you prefer snow sports or cooler temperatures, then consider booking in winter, spring or fall. As for what’s on in Vancouver throughout the year, the Vancouver International Jazz Festival (June/July), Celebration of Light (July) fireworks competition and the Vancouver Pride Parade (August) are three must-see summer events.
Parking in Vancouver
When it comes to parking your RV or camper van rental in Vancouver, finding a space downtown can be challenging. Consider parking at Stanley Park, an accessible location, and explore the city on foot. This option not only eases the parking dilemma but also adds a pleasant walk to your trip. If you’d prefer a parking garage, however, there are a few options – just be sure to check for height restrictions before entering.
Go Park, 320 Granville Street, Downtown Vancouver
Parkwell Plaza, 777 Seymour St, Downtown Vancouver
Easy Park, Lot 62, Stanley Park, Vancouver
Campgrounds near Vancouver
Camping with your motorhome rental in Vancouver is not only easy; it might just be the highlight of your trip. Within the city limits, there’s only one campground – Capilano River RV Park.

Just be sure to pre-book during the peak vacation season, otherwise you risk missing out on a premium spot.
