About this RV

You are looking at the most capable 4WD pop-top camper(jeep) in the islands. We took top of the line Jeep Rubicons with factory AEV-350 conversion and extended the rear 15", installed a new hardtop with integrated pop-top bed which is accessed from inside the vehicle. If you know Jeeps, you've probably heard of the Rubicon. It is the top of the line Jeep with locking differentials and a swaybar release making it the most capable jeep out there. The AEV350 adds a 3.5" lift, alloy wheels and 35" tires, more aggressive front bumper with winch and offroad lights. We have taken the stock Rubicon and have done the following: - Extended the rear 15” for added storage - Added pop top bed (45” x 76”) - Added a kitchen table to inside of back door - Added a 35 quart refrigerator. - Added a pressurized 10 gallon shower system - 12V and 120V AC electrical system including: - 100AH Lithium Iron Phosphate house battery - 2000W pure sine wave inverter = 120v AC Power - 2 small 12V fans to keep you cool when you sleep at night - High power USB outlets These electrical upgrades will allow you to charge your phones, tablets, computers all night long as well as providing lighting at night. The 2000w inverter provides enough power to power a blender, blow drier, or any appliance you can throw at it and it produces a pure sine wave which will not damage sensitive electronics. Arriving: Our standard check-in time is 3:00PM. If available, you may be able to checkin sooner for an additional fee of $10/hr should you want your campervan earlier than 3:00PM. Let us know if you would like early check-in and we will try and accommodate you but it is not guaranteed. We are located at 73-4145 Hulikoa Dr in Kona which is around 4 miles south of the Kona (KOA) airport. The best way of getting there is by using a rideshare like Uber or Lyft and alternatively there are taxis but they tend to be more expensive. Once there, we will go over the campervan with you, teach you how to use it, answer any questions you might have and will get you on the road. Camping: Camping on The Big Island does require you to have a campsite for each night as there is no free camping. Check out the camping page on our website for more information and we will also provide you with our camping and itinerary guide once you book which shows you our recommended spots and how to book them. We supply this campervan with camping equipment for a mandatory fee of $9 per person per day which includes: - Bath towel and washcloth for each person - Beach towel for each person - Beach chair for each person - Pillow for each person - Headlamp for each person - Kitchenware for each person - Maps and and tour guide book - Pots, pans and miscellaneous cooking utensils - French Press Coffee Maker - Electric Kettle - 2 burner propane stove with (2) 1lb propane tanks - 3 Gallons Filtered Drinking Water - Camp Table - Bed Linens - Binoculars - Lantern and Fairy Lights - Umbrella - Toilet Paper - Garbage Bags - Games - Clothes Line - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - 2 person Hammock - Bronner’s Biodegradable Soap You can also choose some of these Additional Add-ons which can make your vacation even more enjoyable: - Snorkel Sets - Boogie Boards - Surf Boards - SUP Boards - Children’s Car Seat - Children’s Booster Seat - Portable Bluetooth Speaker - 4 Person Tent - Camping Mattress Pad - Extra Sheet Set - Extra Pillow - Porta Potti - Weber Charcoal Grill - Beach Cooler - Portable Power Station *** Note *** The $9 per person fee must be added by you during checkout. It is the first Add-on. If not added during checkout, then we will automatically add it to your reservation. Since Koa has been in our fleet for 4 years now, it does show some wear and tear and is priced accordingly, but it still remains one of our most popular camperjeeps for cruising around the island. When booking through Outdoorsy’s platform, you will be required to purchase insurance through them even if you have your own insurance that would cover this campervan rental.

    Puna was awesome and was the envy of other jeeps on the road. We loved having it as our get around and camping vehicle. Highly recommend.

    Nice Jeep to cruise around Hawai’i!! Fridge is nice to have and we’ll équipes with full comfort for cooking 🍳 and showering 🚿

  • Rochelle J. · 5/5 · Nov 2023 · Outdoorsy

    Exploring Big Island in our Jeep Camper was amazing! The Jeep Rubicon was decked out perfectly and had everything we needed and more. The jeep was in excellent condition and the pop-up bed was comfy. The kitchen set up was awesome with a large 2 burner gas cooker, bigger than I expected fridge, and every utensil you could want (there's even an electric kettle)! The showering system was fab and really handing for…

    This was the perfect way to travel the big island. Such a cool experience. And Matt gave us a great recommendation for a laulau spot!

  • Ian K. · 5/5 · Oct 2021 · Outdoorsy

    We had an incredible time taking the Jeep around the big island! The two of us fit perfect and the 4x4 of the Jeep was necessary for a number of areas and campsites. We’re both relatively short and fit well in the pop top, but may be snug for anyone on the taller side. It did get a little humid up too when it was heavily raining, but otherwise a perfect way to explore the island.
