When it comes to planning a luxury family vacation, there are endless possibilities to choose from. Whether you’re looking for an action-packed getaway filled with adventure and excitement, or a relaxing retreat where you can simply unwind and recharge, there is something out there to meet your needs.
As a family we would discuss the idea of traveling in an RV or Overnight Camper Van. We were not sure what to expect or look out for. We went to the RV lot off the 405 in Fountain Valley and wanted to learn about the pricing and the layouts. Could our family do this on weekends or embark on an adventure long term? After reading and doing research. We decided to sit on this idea and circle back on this craze that got us interested. A couple years later, I discovered Moterra and the fact that you can rent a van was a no brainer!
This would be a great test for us. Could we travel off grid and enjoy it? Would space be an issue? Most importantly, to us this meant time. Time together and not being distracted by schedules and technology. We would get to hang out and just be. Nothing else, no plans and no appointments. It was just that for us.
As Moterra Employee put it, “ Bring your sense of Adventure”. That is the Motto.
Be open to explore and take the open road. The Moterra Van has everything you need. The Van is stocked with Kitchen supplies. It is your Mobile Kitchen.
The Van is constructed to utilize every space and done so in a very practical way.
You will find your utensils, drying mat and extra garbage bags. The slightest items that make your stay easier.
Sleep like a Baby with extra linens and sleeping bags to pillows. Just tuck in and sleep tight. There are curtains to make sure you have the privacy you need to cover all the Van windows. There is plenty of indoor lighting.
Enjoy the Sunset with blankets, lounge chairs and table, all arranged in the back of the Van with storage for your items.
We packed light and brought our outdoor shoes for hikes. The packing was not a huge load and we did this on purpose as we did not know what to expect for extra space. We did stop by the Grocery store to buy food and firewood. Other than that it was simple. Just show up and take on your adventure.
When you arrive to pick up your Van allow for time. This will allow you to carefully meet with a Moterra Team Member to help guide you through a walk through of the Van. Ginger was so sweet and attentive. She explained everything thoroughly.
The Warehouse of Moterra is right behind the SODO train station making it very convenient from the Airport SeaTac
We traveled in February making many overnight camping spots limited for us to pick from. Moterra has a great itinerary in place to help with resources and information.
Our adventure took us to Deception Pass with available flush toilets and showers on site. At Deception Pass expect Panoramic views and jaw-dropping sunsets that will make this 1 hour and 15 min drive all the while.
What we loved:
Exceptional Customer Support
Super strong Heater
Awesome Radio
Easy travel, no fuss with cleaning up and setting up.
Why Moterra:
Bucket list Locations
Reliable Vans
And the list above bears repeating
Exceptional Customer Support

Consider trying this out if you are a sports family who is often of the road. This is great for Homeschooling families as well.
If you are considering an experience like this and are a little nervous. My recommendation would be to rent a van with Moterra and test a family vacation. It will be worth your time and create vast memories. This will allow you to see first hand what the space is and push you outside of your comfort zone making you realize what it is you do need or can live without.
Our favorite part was the discovery of driving to a new location and exploring!
Stopping at a lake and making breakfast while enjoying a hike or fishing with the accessibility! That was so convenient.
