About this RV

Say hi to Murph the Smurf! Murphy is a 2008, high top, 144” wheel base, 3.0 turbo diesel, passenger sprinter van. She even has a brand new transmission! She’s a custom conversion camper van housing everything you’ll need in a boho style living space. With plenty of space for any toys you’ll want to bring with you, she also has all the essentials: a propane two burner stove, a large sink with normal and separate filtered drinking water, refrigerator, pantry, cassette toilet, and a king(wide, queen long) bed or bench couches. She has a max air fan vented through the roof, and tinted windows all around that feature magnetic, insulated, black-out window covers. Lastly, her diesel engine will get you far at 18 miles/gallon, the rear and front facing camera will make sure you have no problems parking and the rear bicycle carrier will let you take two of your favorite steeds along with you. All of this and she still fits in any normal parking spot! Come give her a look-see and get a taste of the van life. What's included Murphy comes with: Two camping chairs Clip-on fans for keeping cool Diesel heater for staying warm Smash ball paddles Volleyball All the silverware and dishes you’ll need 120v and 12v charging for all your electronics Cooking pans for the stove Pour over coffee kit and beans Assorted cooking spices Pillows and bedding Recommendations Murphy has been around this entire country, literally. She was made for a trip across Canada, but COVID had other plans. Instead she traveled for 9 months along the edge of the entire United States. She’s been in every terrain, but spends most of her time at the beach. She’s no stranger to sand! Other things to note Please be respectful! Murphy can take a beating, and she’s meant to be enjoyed, but I’d like her to keep providing joy years down the road. - be careful with fires while cooking - make sure always to vent via the ceiling fan while cooking - give her wide turns to avoid swiping the ladder in tight traffic -furry friends (pets) are encouraged. - other than that, have fun!

    We had the best trip in Murphy to Joshua Tree! This van has everything you need and nothing you don’t! We had plenty of space to pack our gear and even in Joshua Tree the fan kept us pretty cool! Dylan is a great host and made everything seem less. We will totally rent the Murph again!

  • Earl Z. · 5/5 · Feb 2025 · Outdoorsy

  • Lindsey P. · 5/5 · Nov 2024 · Outdoorsy

    We had the most amazing time in the perfect van! Murph had everything we needed and more. We were so comfortable and Dylan was a great host. We will book again! Love you Murph!
