Super efficient diesel (20mi/g) low mileage 2WD Sprinter Camper. This van is fully equipped for road tripping and camping anywhere in comfort - from Nat Parks to stealth in suburbia.

This van is designed to have exactly what is needed: Hot indoor shower stall for post rainy-hike or Double Century clean up, outdoor shower too. Inside 2x bike storage, so your toys won't get rusty. Microwave, coffee maker, induction cooktop, solar and electric water heater w 24 g water tank, big sink, indoor camping toilet, and plenty of storage for food, clothes and gear. Plus, a large 2 compartment fridge/freezer for those margaritas & ice. This van also has thermal full-blackout blinds for stealth camping even in the winter, plus a separate diesel heater to really blast the warmth if needed.

This van's inside is fully electric - no propane, with a large battery & inverter and has efficient solar, alt charging and 30A onshore power meaning you'll always have enough juice AC & DC to power extended off-grid adventures. Stream movies at night with the cell booster, listen to the van's satellite radio anywhere, or just disconnect in style. The van also works well as an office away from the office with chairs that rotate 180 and an adjustable fold-away table for food or laptop. There is also a cell booster which add ~2 bars to the signal.

The van has flares on each side to extend the bed length and slide-away step to access the bed. The bed area has usb charging and lights, shelf storage, a Max Fan and side windows that open, perfect for keeping cool in the evenings.

The van works great for general travel, but was designed with cyclist's needs in mind. It can carry 2 bicycles inside for security (see pics) and has separate rear drawers for tools and gear, plus a built-in bike stand and work lights. It also has a tow capacity for trailer or (your own) extra bike rack. NO Burning MAN.

What's included

The Van comes with bedding and pillows, all plates, kitchen and paper items you need. Plus, we add a hot water kettle, french press, frother, induction cook top, pans, plates and cups. The large 2 compartment fridge has a freezer (margarita ice) and there is plenty of drawers for extended food and clothing.

Recommendations

The van only has a few trips, Oregon, Tahoe, So Cal. But we built the van for road tripping to the National Parks, Utah or up the Coast. Its perfect for a weekend trip to Santa Barbara or a week long trip to Moab. The van can travel on the freeway with ease, and on gravel road, however, the van wasn't built for off-road.

Other things to note

Definitely no smoking in the van. Although it's ok to have a dog, the van won't accommodate anything but a small dog. Sorry, NO BURNING MAN - been there, it just gets too crazy dirty. The water can be filled as requested (short trips don't need 24 g). The fuel is diesel, and this van is efficient compared to gas (20mpg) and there is never a problem fueling.

Return Time is 11am. A later return time can be requested. Unless otherwise noted, a return after 3pm will have a charge of $25/hr. There will be a charge of $100 if the inside toilet is not dumped if used.

We were happy about renting Michael's van for our long journey. It seemed to be well equiped and quite new contained everything what we required for our trip. Unfortunately on the third day they AC inverter broken down and since this day were not able to cook and using the AC plugs. It also caused issue about shower, because the water heater and higher pressure required those circle. The car contains extremely practical elements for storage. Many drawers are available to store our personal things. Unfortunately, two drawers became partially unusable due to the DIY building (IKEA like drawer rail elements). At the beginning of the journey, a plastic piece of the sliding door broke, so we had to eliminate that door. Our original plans were for both of us to drive, but unfortunately the raised seats for reversing purposes were so high that my partner's feet couldn't reach the pedals. So I had to drive it all the way. We drove 5,000 miles. The car itself is great. Strong, fast, excellent vehicle!
Overall, we had a good trip, but due to the inconveniences described, we incurred additional costs, as we had to spend the night in a campsite several times (bathing, cooking, etc.) and we even had to buy the daily coffee instead of making it.
Michael was always helpful, but unfortunately the problems that arose could not be solved on the way. So it will be possible to correct them after our trip.
Despite our problems, we had a great time and returned home with good memories. Attached photos about the van. Other photos will be published on my www.travelphotoservices.com site.

We had a great time thanks to Michael and his van! Michael was absolutely the best with the van rental experience. He was so helpful through our entire trip - from pick up to drop off. The van was easy to manage and drive. It was well equipped with everything we needed which was super convenient as we were far away from home. We loved the large 2 compartment fridge/freezer, the ceiling fan and the electrical/solar systems plus the 300 miles free per night, that really made us feel free to explore as much as we wanted and make the most of our experience. Would definitely rent from Michael again!

We loved this van! Well designed, easy to drive, tons of storage and well equipped. Michael thought of everything with this buildout. The electrical/solar systems provided good interior lighting, hot water, and everything we needed. The bed was comfy and top vent provided a nice breeze. This van was terrific and the owner was easy to work with and very communicative.

Michael was incredibly kind and helpful as we rented. Will definitely be renting again!


Have a question?Get answers directly from the host

Q.What about bike storage, how does that work?
A.
We designed the van with the needs of cyclists in mind. You can store 2 cycles (road or mountain) INSIDE the van to keep them safe and dry. See the pics. We also have some bike tools and a bike maintenance arm/stand for working on your bike. The bikes are secured by the front fork and the fork holder may need an easy adjustment depending on the size and type of your bike. Please let us know what you have.

Q.Are there any special tricks and tips that would help with operating the RV easily?
A.
No real special action is required, however, everybody's van operates differently. There is a manual provide. There will also be about a 20 minute van go-over, to make sure you are comfortable operating all of the systems on the van. (electric, hot water, dumping). You'll be a professional in no-time.

Q.What flexibility is available for picking up and dropping off the RV?
A.
We're flexible. Please inquire with your specific needs.

Q.What about on-roof storage or large item (surf board/kayak) storage.
A.
For every van there are compromises. There is not real roof storage (we have large solar). There is lots of drawer storage for food & clothing plus specific storage for bicycles and tools/gear There is 'open' storage (about 2 milk crates in volume), but no real storage for long items > 3.5 feet.
