All-electric posh rental RVs are launching in the Bay Area.
Are you someone who passes on RV vacations as too “basic”? You may want to reconsider. RollAway, a Silicon Valley startup, is launching what could be the future of luxurious and sustainable travel.
Picture this: a fancy, amenity-filled five-star hotel room, except it is on wheels. These new concept RVs are meant for travelers who want to visit multiple destinations without dealing with the hassle of booking hotel rooms or vacation rentals. And good news for the environmentally-conscious: the vans are zero-emission vehicles; fully electric with a 250-mile range.
Each van—which can accommodate up to two guests—boasts fully equipped kitchenettes, full bathrooms (showers!), and queen beds. Just like in hotel suites, the dining and living areas are separate.
Thanks to a 24-hour concierge service, travelers will be able to get help with reservations, directions, and other assistance, and each van offers curated travel itineraries for those who aren’t set on a destination. SpaceX’s Starlink Satellite in-room Wi-Fi is available, too, and each van is also equipped with Apple TV and a Bang & Olufsen audio system.
Pampering and personal care are also part of the experience. Each van comes with spa toiletries, Yeti outdoor amenities, and a housekeeping kit. (Actual housekeeping services are available in some locations.) Those looking for an interactive experience can participate in virtual yoga sessions, and breakfast packages and picnic setups from local farms are available, too.
These luxury RVs are now available for pre-booking and early discounts are available. After launching in the Bay Area, more cities are expected to be added soon.
Twist’s Take: If you think RVing is too basic, check out this hotel suite on wheels.
