Laverne is the newest campervan in the Sun + Salt fleet. A newly converted 2019 Ram Promaster 2500 camper van with a beautiful interior for a cozy home-away-from-home experience. With brand new, high-end features and only the best materials, make your adventure around the Big Island meaningful during the day and restful at night. Laverne fits a full bed, large sink with a manual foot pump, efficiency fridge (+freezer), a mobile solar shower with a hand-pump, a ventilation fan for a cooler night, a butane stove, and swivel seats with a lagun table for eating inside if it's rainy out. Laverne has two 100 AH batteries that are charged via 400watts from the solar panels and off the alternator (ie. you won't run out of battery!). If you hotspot off your phone, she's a great place to work remote from. What's included Laverne includes: fresh linens, towels, kitchenware and cookware, french press, utensils, portable camping stove and propane (can use inside or outside), and an outdoor mat to help keep things clean. She is set with all the kitchen amenities you could need for cooking three meals a day (french press, coffee grinder, wine opener, can opener, utensils, plates, cups, bowls, skillets, pots, and more!). Recommendations They don’t call the island of Hawai’i “The Big Island” for nothing - it’s huge! Exploring via camper van is one of the best ways to see all the sites and avoid excessive driving (and costs) between your lodging and next adventure. If you’ve rented a camper van on the mainland before, you should know it’s a little different on the Big Island. It’s technically illegal to sleep in a vehicle in public spaces. I have put together a map of spots on the island where you could park overnight - secret spots, campgrounds that you will need to obtain a permit beforehand, and places to park in a pinch. My renters have had no issues with just a little bit of forethought and being mindful of where I park overnight. I give you everything you need to plan in advance (the more you prep, the better your stay will be!).

Renting a van in Hawaii has been on my bucket list for some time now and I was finally able to check that off. I had such a great time beach hopping with the cutest pink van 🫶🏼 Thank you Bri for helping me make this such a special trip for me!

Bri was a great host. Very responsive 24/7. Pickup and drop off were smooth,, no issues. Really convenient location to the airport. Laverne the pink camper was very comfortable and made the trip / camping enjoyable. Will rent again if we come back. Aloha and Mahalo

Bris Campervan Laverne was a delight, really well thought out design and super comfortable. Everything we needed whilst on Big Island. If we visit again we'd definitely rent another van from Bri!!
