About Nicolai Gaina
Passionate about life from every angle, I'm a globetrotting, football-loving, snowboard shredding, fitness enthusiast who knows that hard work deserves hard play. Fluent in three languages (Russian, Romanian, English), and always ready for a new adventure, I carry the energy of my Moldovan roots wherever I go. Fun fact? I can translate 'goal' into three languages faster than a striker can hit the back of the net!

Nicolai’s camper van was easy to drive and had everything we needed. The bed was comfy and warm. Nicolai included towels and an extra blanket which came in handy. We will rent this van again!

Nicolai RV Van was perfect for our first class b adventure. Everything was clean and working perfectly. Nicolai explained the ins and outs of how to operate the RV, so we had no problems. Very easy to drive and park. Our furry family members had a blast too!!Thank you Nicolai

Our host Nic was very knowledgeable, he took the time to explain everything and how it works. Our trip was great with a few minor hiccups.
My wife loved the space and we will definitely be back for another adventure.

The Camper Van was great! We had no problem fitting four people comfortably. The van was a convenient way to visit some of California’s National Parks.

Great communication and preparedness from Nicolai. We had such a great time in the Winnebago and enjoyed how efficient/compact everything was.
Please enjoy a few snippets of our trip.

Nicolai is amazing. Very responsive to any and all questions. Katusha is very well kept and comfortable and had everything that was needed. Nicolai supplied everything but the food. Couldn’t have asked for a better host or vehicle. Definitely will be renting again

Nicolai’s “Katusha” ran like a champ. This vancamper felt like it just rolled off the dealer floor. We appreciated Nicolai taking the time to review all its features prior to our trip. It was enough space for my wife, my mother, our dog Skip and myself. Although Nicolai accepts pets, make sure no pet hair remains when you return it. In March 2024, we took it to the Russian River Valley using Harvest Hosts camping sites on wineries and farms (Pocket Creek Farm & Tara Bella Winery). Although it is not equipped with an awning, we truly enjoyed its amenities since it was cozy inside during the rainstorms. The cabin coach heater was very helpful since we had ‘shore power’ on 2 of the three sites we stayed. One more thing, “Katusha” has everything you might need for a ‘turnkey’ camping trip. I can imagine a couple flying out to California and having this thing ready to ‘roll’ for their trip. I’ve already recommended Nicolai to a few friends and family!

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience renting Katusha from Nikolai. Nikolai was flexible in coordinating check out and return. The checkout experience with Nikolai was thorough and pleasant. The RV was in excellent condition. Nikolai provided plenty of bedding and lots of kitchen items. The RV is quite easy to handle. We drove on some very narrow and winding (and windy) roads and had no problems managing it. Setup and take down of the pop top and table are pretty quick and easy. Swiveling the driver’s seat around to face the table is a bit awkward but manageable. Our fuel efficiency was about 16 MPG.
We recommend Katusha renting from Nikolai.

Fantastic van and experience. Exploring California in Nicolai's van was awesome. The van is fully equipped with everything you need to camp both on and off grid. We took an 8 day trip with 2 small kids up highway 1 to Redwoods national park and stayed at state parks and roadsides along the way. The van is easy to drive, park, and set up. It's almost new with low miles. It's exactly as described in the listing and more. Nicolai is extremely responsive and made extending our rental by one day an easy experience. I can't recommend renting this van enough.

Nicolai was amazingly responsive throughout the whole process. The RV was in great shape, prepared ahead of time, so we didn't waste any time.

The RV was terrific! Clean. Easy to use all the features. Nicolai was flexible with pick-up/drop-off. This was a wonderful experience as my son and I created core memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you Nic!
