After years of tent camping, we were ready for something more comfortable, weatherproof, and convenient—so in the summer of 2024, we got this custom-built Ford Transit van. Camping in a rain- and wind-proof van has completely changed the way we experience the outdoors.
American VanWorks took care of the flooring, walls, ceiling, fan, lights, and safari rack—while I installed wood shelving, a sink, and bed frames myself. The result is a fully-functional, family-friendly camper that’s surprisingly easy to drive and perfect for making memories.

Features We Love

• Sleeps 4: The van sleeps 2 adults and 2 kids under comfy duvets—ensuring everyone gets a restful night’s sleep after a day of outdoor fun. (Adults have the main fold-out bed and each kid gets their own sleeping platform that fits over the seats.)

• High Roof: Standing at 6'3", I can easily stand up inside with no hunching—making a huge difference when it comes to comfort and practicality.

• Gear Storage: The safari rack on top and central aisle inside the van make it easy to store large items like surfboards, kayaks, or bikes.

• Faucet & Sink: Perfect for washing dishes or rinsing off wet gear after a busy day of adventuring.

• Cassette Toilet: When you’re off the grid and need a little convenience, this is a total lifesaver.

• Reliable Power: Equipped with two battery power stations and solar panels for recharging—your devices, lights, and electronics will always have power, no matter where you go.

• Refrigerator/Freezer: Keep food fresh without the hassle of ice or frequent trips to the store.

• Driver Tech: The van has a back-up camera, touch screen, and Apple CarPlay, so you can safely navigate, stream music, and stay connected while on the road.

Responsive, communicative, very helpful. Kevin was communicative, helped with a same-day booking, and provided a thorough orientation. He offered generous mileage, little extras, and even recovered an item left in the van, offering hotel transport after return.

Drives like a regular car. Despite its size, the van drives easily and is simple to park. It's fully equipped for self-contained camping with a high roof, comfortable sleeping, sink, fridge, portable toilet, power stations, and thoughtful organization.

What’s nearby

Favorite local spots:
- Islay Creek Campground at Montana de Oro - campground is tucked away between mountain peaks and offers direct access to a beach and mountain trails, campsites are well-spaced, and it’s quiet :)
- Santa Margarita Lake - always has sites (because its a county park that few people visit)!
- Cerro Alto - perfect launch for the highest peak in SLO County, but watch out for the poison oak!
