Your Upper Valley Basecamp for Vanlife
Plainfield is a natural starting point for a campervan trip because it sits in one of New England's most flexible travel regions. From this quiet New Hampshire town, renters can head north toward Hanover, Lebanon, and the Connecticut River Valley, wander west into Vermont, or point the van south toward Lake Sunapee, Cornish, Claremont, and the scenic backroads that make this part of New England feel made for slow travel.
The Plainfield location is designed for travelers who want the comfort of a home-away-from-home without being locked into a hotel, a single campground, or a complicated RV. Whether you are planning a Dartmouth weekend, a Lake Sunapee escape, a leaf-peeping route through Vermont, a music festival, or a first campervan trip with the kids, Glamp Mobile gives you a polished GM2 van, renter onboarding, and support before you hit the road.
This location is owned by Jon and Deb Scott, whose camping, hospitality, and road-trip instincts fit the Glamp Mobile model naturally. Their goal is simple: help renters feel oriented, welcomed, and ready to enjoy the kind of travel they have always loved themselves - flexible, comfortable, and a little more connected to the places they visit.
Meet Jon and Deb Scott
Jon and Deb bring a genuine local-host feel to the Plainfield location. This is not just a vehicle handoff; it is a chance to rent from people who understand why travelers want comfort, independence, and a little adventure built into the same trip.
Jon Scott
Jon has always had a serious outdoor streak. In his younger days, he was a committed mountain and ice climber, with adventures that included summiting Mount Denali in Alaska. The frisbee he threw from the summit is still proudly displayed at home - the kind of detail that tells you adventure has never just been a passing interest for him.
He's also a lifelong musician and live music enthusiast, playing guitar, bass and slide guitar as well as being a certified Deadhead.
As a host, Jon brings that same practical, steady approach to helping renters get comfortable with the van. He understands gear, preparation, and the difference between feeling intimidated by an adventure and feeling ready for it.
Deb Scott
Deb grew up camping in just about every form: tents, truck campers, tow-behinds, and family trips that made outdoor travel feel normal. Hospitality runs deep for her, too. Her mother owned and operated the Pinehurst Inn in Hershey, Pennsylvania, named after Deb's father's favorite golf course. After selling the inn, Deb's mother toured the country in a big Class A motorhome.
Deb has long wanted a camper she could comfortably take out on her own - especially now that she is mostly retired from medicine, except when a medical mission trip calls her somewhere warm. The GM2 finally gave her the flexibility she wanted: easy to drive, self-contained, and usable beyond the campground.
Why They Chose Glamp Mobile
Jon and Deb have always liked travel that feels more embedded than a hotel stay. They often choose condos when they travel because Jon can cook, they can settle in, and the trip feels more like living somewhere than simply passing through. They had also been interested in vacation-rental-style real estate investment, but the cost and commitment always felt a little intimidating.
After years of hearing about their son James's Glamp Mobile business - and after an ill-fated fling with a 1970s-era VW Westfalia Vanagon pop-top - Jon and Deb took the leap in spring 2026 with a GM2 Ram Promaster-based rig. In their first year, they plan to use it for music festivals, extra family housing at the lake camp in Tuftonboro, and camping with their grandkids. When they are not using it, the van can help other travelers discover the Upper Valley and beyond.

Meet the GM2 Van

Upper Valley, Lake Sunapee & Vermont Routes

- Hanover and Dartmouth: walkable downtown, college-town dining, arts, and events.
- Lebanon and West Lebanon: practical stocking-up stops before heading deeper into NH or VT.
- Cornish and Saint-Gaudens: art, gardens, history, and a strong sense of place.
- Lake Sunapee and New London: water, foliage, summer weekends, and classic New Hampshire scenery.
