5We loved borrowing Maurice for our California weekend trip. Everything was exactly as described and Lindsay was super nice, even getting milk for our coffee in the morning :) The van has everything you need to get away and it was lovely to have access to running water and a fridge.

Hi! We're Lindsay & Dom, two working professionals living the coastal life in Pacifica, CA. When we're not working, you'll usually find us outdoors — Dom's a surfer, and I'm a powerlifter. We built Maurice to support our spontaneous escapes to places like Napa, Yosemite, and Tahoe, and he’s been the perfect companion for everything from quiet getaways to off-grid weekends in the woods.
Maurice is cozy, reliable, and well-loved — we designed him to be easy to use and adventure-ready for anyone, whether it's your first time van camping or you're a seasoned road tripper. We include a guidebook and walkthrough video to make sure you feel confident and relaxed before hitting the road.
We hope you love Maurice as much as we do. Safe travels!
