Say hi to Murph the Smurf!

Murphy is a 2008, high top, 144” wheel base, 3.0 turbo diesel, passenger sprinter van. She has 200k miles, but runs great, having a new transmission, new brake lines, new brake calipers, new differential and a new battery and alternator. 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.

Responsive, helpful, but occasionally cancels. Dylan is praised for clear guidelines, quick responses, and detailed rundowns. He is described as kind, flexible, and communicative, though there were a few instances of host-initiated cancellations.

Drives smoothly and reliably. Guests consistently report Murph is easy to drive, runs smoothly, and is reliable, with good diesel efficiency. It's spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped with amenities like a projector, stove, fridge, heater, and ample storage.

What’s nearby

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!
