Charley is an 18ft Sprinter Van which we fully customized with a beautiful all timber build out. With unique arched shelves, cedar ceiling, live edge countertop and wood-turned kitchen sink, you won't find another van like this around. During the pandemic, and with the help of a few friends, Rachel built the van out before hitting the road. Charley has visited over 30 states and his build was dialed in on the road for maximum functionality.Charley has a convertible queen-sized bed, sliding table and bench seats, 12v powered faucet, full kitchen with everything you need for camp cooking, electric fridge cooler, 200 wats of solar power, two-way fan, bumping stereo system, dimmable LED lights, custom artwork, a hermetically sealed camping toilet, insulated walls, and tons of storage space.Charley is an older model of Sprinter van but has had numerous upgrades and his diesel engine is fantastic. The van comes with a phone mount/USB hook up for your iphone to play music and display GPS directions on the screen. The Goal Zero battery system is powered by solar panels, (while providing USB, 12v, 110v) and can also hook up to shore power for charging.Additional:

Charley the van is 100% a passion project. After surviving covid, we bought a sprinter, built it out in 5 weeks and set out to explore this beautiful country of ours. My partner and I lived in Charley for over 3 months and made several upgrades and installations to the build while we were on the road. We filled it with trinkets from our travels and with lots of love, which anyone who enters it will feel. We had such an amazing journey traveling around in our custom van and living the van life, we wanted to share the experience and the freedom with others while we are working back in the real world. We hope you enjoy our van and perhaps we'll see you out there on the road!
