What's the only thing better than a road trip? A road trip in a big van! Rent our custom-converted 2016 Mercedes Sprinter van, perfect for a weekend vacation or longer. This van has everything you need and nothing you don't and we kept it relatively simple on purpose, so it's perfect for a young couple or family with dog. Based in Los Osos (Morro Bay, CA). My family likes to migrate this big bird from Baja Mexico, to British Columbia, depending on the season. It's a great way to travel and see the road.
We just remodelled the van, and it has some great new features. Come pick up this 'adventure-mobile' on your way out to Yosemite, Big Sur, Montana de Oro, Wine Country or wherever! We're in Los Osos, 15 minutes west of SLO, 10 minutes south of Morro Bay. The van can safely seat 5 and could sleep 2-5 depending on the configuration and size of sleepers. Pets are welcome!

We kindly also ask you bring your own bedding (sheets, pillows, and blankets) and if possible your own camping gear (I do have some loaner equipment I can rent for a small fee). If you're from out of town, or flying in, I can have the van completely set up for you. If you're local, contact me and stop by for a look. If you're not, I can give video tours of the van beforehand if you want to see anything. I'll post some videos like this overview of the new additions to the van here: https://youtu.be/AupB8nU78uE

The van is a wonderful way to still get out with the ability to travel safe. There's a number of confirgurations possible and I have all the gear you'll need to camp in style. Rent the van and start the adventure!

Due to increased cleaning and safety measures, rentals are restricted to a 4 night minimum.

What’s nearby

To many recommendations to list in full. Get on the road and play it by ear! The rig has been to British Columbia, Montana, Idaho, Utah, Nevada, Washington, Oregon, Colorado, Arizona and all over Calfornia. The best spots nearby are the Big Sur coastline, Yosemite, Santa Barbara, Monterey, wine country, or just the local beaches around Montana De Oro, Morro Bay, Cambria, Avila Beach and San Luis Obispo. You don't need to go far to have an adventure.

Host rules

All we ask is that you treat our van as though it was your own. Sprinters are really easy to drive and handle quite well but as with any larger vehicle, you need to take turns a little wider and watch short bridges, overpasses and drive-throughs. Take care of the van and she'll take care of you!
