Camplify is a peer to peer platform that connects owners of RVs (motorhomes, campervans, caravans, trailers and static caravans) with people wanting to hire one for their holiday. 


We provide a platform that gives both parties the ability to transact safely, easily and always insured. 


The vans listed on our site are owned by everyday RV owners who love camping and want to make money by sharing their van safely through Camplify.
