Über James Leissler

Hi, We have a family of four, plus our faithful travel companion Chihuahua. We love traveling all over the world but our favorites are France and islands in the middle of no where:) I’ve always been enamored with hippie buses, I have owned five of them. We have tried Volkswagen Westfalia’s and Mercedes Sprinters. The sprinter is an awesome vehicle and very comfortable but the Volkswagen Westfalia is a lot easier to park and drive and better in town. Happy Travels, Jim

James and the silver surfer made for an incredible road trip down the coast. The van has everything you need and nothing you don’t. James is communicative, flexible and a fantastic host. Already planning our next trip!

The silver surfer was an excellent vehicle for our two week trip. We went up through WA and in to Canada. The kids loved the “top bunk” and there was plenty of room for all of our gear. Communication with Jim was excellent and easy. Flexible pick up and drop off made the trip a breeze. Thanks!!

Excellent rental. We found the van to be extremely versatile under unexpected conditions. Comfortable in all aspects. Will definitely try and rent again down the road.

Jim is a great guy... easy to work with, helpful, knowledgeable about the area, and quick to respond to my texts while on the road. The van/camper - known as the Silver Surfer - is a fine machine. I doubt if the rental car companies will be seeing much of me on future vacations now that I know how to get something like this van to cruise around in. This was a great experience. THANKS!!!!!

What a blast driving the Silver Surfer! It was a family adventure that started in Portland and took us north to vacation with friends on the coast of Washington. We knew we didn't need a full sized RV, since we had access to a kitchen, bathroom etc. Our kids are 12 yrs old and 16yrs old, so the pop-top was a bit small for the both of them for more than two nights. Fortunately, the 16yr old got to sleep in a loft space in the house and everyone continued to be fun and cheery. Jim did a fantastic job of explaining all we needed to know about the Silver Surfer and was super quick to answer any questions that we had while we were on the road. On a housekeeping note, the van was extremely clean, bedding was comfortable/warm and pillows were great. Since the van was older, the music options were radio/cassette/CD. We ended up purchasing a cassette player adapter($15) and my husband just happened to have brought the iPhone 3.5mm adapter thingy, so we could play music from our iPhones. If we find ourselves out in the PNW and needing a camper van, we will definitely rent from Jim again.

I had such a pleasant experience with James and his wife. Excellent communication, and so nice! They even greeted me with a mocha when I arrived. The surfer was clean and drove well. Me and my friend had a blast in the van!
I can’t recommend James and his vehicle enough. Go ahead and rent it. You won’t be disappointed. Thanks so much James!

We had an amazing time in the Sawtooth Mountains with the silver surfer. Fun, comfortable ride while listening to old cassette tapes. James was wonderful to work with, a very gracious host and he takes pristine care of his Westfalia. We would love to take the silver surfer on another adventure again soon. Thanks for everything!

The whole family was really looking forward to this trip and the Silver Surfer did not disappoint! It was such a joy on the road - and at camp. Jim is wonderful and made the process effortless. Looking forward to another adventure with the Silver Surfer!

James Leissler canceled the booking 1 day before departure. This is an automated posting.

Antwort von James

Huge apologies Kathleen as the steering pump started leaking (first time) and shops around this time are booked out:( I had to cancel as this would’ve been a safety issue.

Ryan and his friends were awesome renters and left the Silver Surfer immaculate! Great communication too! I highly recommend Ryan for any future rentals and hopefully with me in the future.
