After years of tent camping, we were ready for something more comfortable, weatherproof, and convenient—so in the summer of 2024, we got this custom-built Ford Transit van. Camping in a rain- and wind-proof van has completely changed the way we experience the outdoors.American VanWorks took care of the flooring, walls, ceiling, fan, lights, and safari rack—while I installed wood shelving, a sink, and bed frames myself. The result is a fully-functional, family-friendly camper that’s surprisingly easy to drive and perfect for making memories.Features We Love• Sleeps 4: The van sleeps 2 adults and 2 kids under comfy duvets—ensuring everyone gets a restful night’s sleep after a day of outdoor fun. (Adults have the main fold-out bed and each kid gets their own sleeping platform that fits over the seats.)• High Roof: Standing at 6'3", I can easily stand up inside with no hunching—making a huge difference when it comes to comfort and practicality.• Gear Storage: The safari rack on top and central aisle inside the van make it easy to store large items like surfboards, kayaks, or bikes.• Faucet & Sink: Perfect for washing dishes or rinsing off wet gear after a busy day of adventuring.• Cassette Toilet: When you’re off the grid and need a little convenience, this is a total lifesaver.• Reliable Power: Equipped with two battery power stations and solar panels for recharging—your devices, lights, and electronics will always have power, no matter where you go.• Refrigerator/Freezer: Keep food fresh without the hassle of ice or frequent trips to the store.• Driver Tech: The van has a back-up camera, touch screen, and Apple CarPlay, so you can safely navigate, stream music, and stay connected while on the road.What's included• Outdoor rug

RecommendationsFavorite local spots:
- Islay Creek Campground at Montana de Oro - campground is tucked away between mountain peaks and offers direct access to a beach and mountain trails, campsites are well-spaced, and it’s quiet :)
- Santa Margarita Lake - always has sites (because its a county park that few people visit)!
- Cerro Alto - perfect launch for the highest peak in SLO County, but watch out for the poison oak!
Other things to note- The van is only 2WD, so NOT equipped for rugged 4WD adventures. Please don’t test the limits on this.
- Van does not have a nighttime heater or AC unit, just the daytime units that run when the engine is on. However, the van is well-insulated and there is a comfy electric blanket for cold nights.
- No smoking inside the van - please and thank you :)

Goes above and beyond expectations

Kevin is highly communicative, responsive, and easy to work with. He provided thorough orientation, helped with a same-day booking, offered thoughtful extras, and went above and beyond by recovering forgotten items and offering hotel transport.

Easy to drive, fully equipped

The high-roof Ford Transit is easy to drive and park, not feeling like a large vehicle. It's thoroughly equipped for camping with comfortable sleeping, a sink, fridge, portable toilet, Jackery power, solar, and blackout window coverings.

Perfect van for camping with our kids. Van was easy to drive, equipped with everything we needed, and really comfortable to sleep in. Our kid slept great on the platform over the front seats. Hosts were super communicative and helpful. Will definitely look to book again!

We (3) had a great time with this van. Took it up to Big Sur, it handled the slow curvy road very well. Convenient design of the interior made camping easy. Lots of equipment was close at hand, provided, which made planning & packing so much easier. We would definitely use Kevin (great host) and his van again!

We had a fantastic experience renting this Sprinter van for our Big Sur trip. Kevin was incredibly friendly, responsive, and easy to work with from start to finish. The van was packed with thoughtful amenities that made camping comfortable and convenient, and it was comfortable to drive. Everything was clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described. We would absolutely rent from Kevin again!

Could not have been happier with this rental experience. The van was outfitted thoroughly, had everything needed for self-contained camping. Kevin was wonderfully communicative and helpful throughout the whole experience. Highly recommend. A++

We had a great experience renting this van for a trip to Morro Bay State Park. The pickup process was easy and smooth, and the van itself offers plenty of space for our family of four. Since we were coming from out of state, we didn’t need to worry about bringing everything. It had everything we needed provided—the owners truly thought of it all! The high roof, comfortable sleeping area, and included amenities like the sink and power stations made for a stress-free and fun camping trip. Highly recommend!

I’m a high school math teacher in San Luis Obispo. My wife and I have two beautiful children who are 6 and 4 years old. Outside of the classroom I love surfing, mountain biking, and of course camping! My favorite place to camp is definitely Yosemite :)
