About this idea

Vanly is a two-sided marketplace that solves a real gap for RV travelers: safe, legal, bookable overnight and hourly parking near cities, stadiums, festivals, family, and downtown amenities. Traditional campgrounds and hotels often fail RVers during peak demand windows and event weekends. Vanly already has 42,500+ app downloads and 3,000+ host listings across all 50 states, proving both traveler demand and host supply are there today.

What we offer travelers:

Overnight parking for city access when campgrounds are far away or sold out

Hourly parking for day trips, downtown visits, sports games, festivals, medical visits, and family drop-ins

Clear listing details RVers need: access instructions, space fit, arrival windows, amenities, and host rules

Vanly Pro AI trip planner membership that helps travelers plan routes, stops, and stays, then converts planning into bookings

What we offer hosts:

New revenue from underused space: driveways, lots, churches, venues, farms, breweries, nonprofits, and small businesses

Hosts set pricing and policies, including dynamic pricing and add-ons like amenities and experiences

A way for cities and downtown orgs to add flexible capacity during events without building new hotels or campgrounds

Why now?
RV and camping participation has expanded over the last decade, and travelers increasingly expect mobile-first booking plus planning tools. Vanly sits at the intersection of surging event demand, constrained urban RV accommodation, and an expanding pool of hosts with unused space.
