San Diego, California
Built on 25+ years of brand management experience, a passion for the outdoors, and a simple philosophy — make every rental genuinely stress free.
Our Story
Stress Free RVs was founded in 2019 by Mike Katz — after 25+ years building experiential marketing campaigns for brands like MTV, McDonald's, MasterCard, and PepsiCo. The concept was simple: apply the same logistics precision and client-service mindset to the RV rental industry, which was fragmented, inconsistent, and frustrating for customers.
Starting with a single trailer, Mike grew the fleet to 68 units at its peak by focusing obsessively on quality, transparency, and the guest experience. Every RV is professionally cleaned, inspected, and stocked before each trip. Every delivery includes a full walk-through. Every question gets a real answer.
Today, Stress Free RVs is the #1 independent RV rental fleet in San Diego — with 1,500+ completed trips and 25,000+ rental nights booked. We're still growing, still improving, and still answering the phone when you call.

4.3★ Average Rating
It was my first time renting an RV and they could not have made it any easier. They were polite, professional, and very accommodating. The RV was perfect for the event I attended. It was a 4 day festival in the desert and everything was perfect. Thank you Mike and our staff for making this experience flawless and amazing. I will definitely be recommending you to everyone.

I got a chance to finally book a trailer and loved the experience start to finish. We received top tier service and they always made it a point to treat people the right way, the unit worked out great and everything went as smooth as can be! I would highly recommend giving Stress Free RVs a chance to host your next trip.

Rented a trailer for a camping weekend and everything went really well. Was able to pickup trailer and everything worked out well for the weekend. Generator worked good to power the AC and keep everything cool even though we were camping in the desert heat with no shade. Definitely will rent from again.
