I've never posted about my experience renting a westy from California
Campers (http://www.vanagon.com/rental/) but I don't think I'd rent one
from them again.  It wasn't until Sorin (the owner) brought the THIRD
vehicle out to my mother's house in Walnut Creek that we even made it out
of town; during the trip we made two stops to mechanics, and eventually
abandoned the van in Oregon.

The first vehicle I attempted to rent on this particular trip had no
brakes, which I found out when I hit the stop sign at the bottom of
Sorin's hill and coasted throgh the intersection!  The second vehicle
had (I think) a bad wheel bearing, but I didn't really figure this out
until I drove from San Francisco to Walnut Creek.  (Those SF streets are
bad!)

Caution advised.
