We love chatting with our guests. If you have any questions about the van after reading the listing, feel free to message us before booking! Enjoy a smooth ride in this 2020 Mercedes Sprinter cargo. 144" wheelbase with high roof. Rear-wheel drive. Perfect for a weekend or weekday camping getaway. This van features a cozy DIY camper build — updated during summer/winter 2021. My priority is your safety and enjoyment on your trip, so I’m excited to hear what you have in mind! The short queen-sized bed (72”x60”) is a perfect place to curl up after your adventures for the day. The bed converts to a booth and table for games, coffee or beers at the end of the night. Pull out the whole center area to load in your bike / surfboard / or boogie board! Under the benches you’ll find additional storage for your gear. Bike rack available as an add-on! The kitchenette serves your basic dry camping needs with a Dometic CFX3 25 Liter fridge, and multiple drawers stocked with some kitchen essentials like utensils, plates, cookware, and coffee gear. Additional amenities available based on your trip needs. Reach out! I’d love to help. Above the bed and kitchenette there is ample cabinet storage, including a shelf above the driver’s cabinet. Wrap up for the evening, and get some additional insulation with a full set of Moohah Creatives insulated window covers, and a full frontal curtain behind the cabin bulkhead. Don’t worry about keeping your gear charged thanks to the 200W of solar on board, with charging points on the main galley, and in the front cabin of the van.

Sean was great to work with and the van was so easy to drive, great on fuel economy and had everything we needed for an awesome off the grid weekend experience.

Sean made everything super easy and chill. The van was ideal for our short camping trip to Cambria. Highly recommended!

Sean's van was perfect for a 4 day trip north of Santa Barbara! It felt totally manageable to drive around town and super comfortable for sleeping. Thank you!!

Amazing experience renting Sean’s camper van! It was easy to drive, well stocked with everything we needed for the trip and comfortable. It was perfect for our trip that took us to Yosemite and then down to San Diego. One of our favorite memories was relaxing in the van during a thunderstorm in Yosemite. Sean and his partner Tristan were so kind and even provided us with a thoughtful gift. Definitely recommend…
