This is Van Earle Sr./Jr. aka the older kid brother…. It’s an awesome lil all wheel drive Astro Van that I’ve set up for campin and road trips. And Astro Van Earle here, is prepped and ready to take you on the road! Now with an autohome Columbus Roof tent (best and original rtt maker ifykyk:) (white roof tent photos!)
I find that ol Sr./Jr. works best with 1 to 4 humans and a medium or small dog (nice and roomy for a week + of camping). In that setting, I usually like it set up w/ the cooler in the middle of the van like a coffee/card table, next to the ottoman full of snacks or whatever.
If you're looking to get out with 6-8 folks ask about the +3 option- I can install the mid row seat, include a 3 person or 5 person tent, and a hitch rack for storage. (Best for trips 5 nights or less)
Inside, there is a fold out bed that stows behind the rear bench and can work with one or both rear bench seats installed. There’s storage and 12v plug below for your charging needs. The front passenger seat swivels 360 degrees so you can flip it around to have another spot to sit inside AND have a comfortable hangin area when the fold out bed is tucked away. (Throw your cooler in the middle and play some cards!)
Radio has CD, bluetooth, aux, and a usb port. Lots of built in storage cubbies and cup holders. There are three 12v plugs and one USB up front. So, this thing’s got the power for your electronic goodies!
Up top, we have an easy to use hard shell, roof tent for two, that can store your bedding and a few other things when you’re not sleepin. Mounted next to it is a yakima skybox to fill with whatever light stuff you want outta the way. It is accessible from the ground and from inside the rooftop tent so whoever’s sleeping up top can have easy access to belongings without it taking up your sleeping space :)
Out back, request an optional 4 bike rack or hitch storage!
(included with the +3 option with no additional charge)
Amenities include a 2-4 camp chairs, a cooler, a coleman stove and kettle, and basic camping, cookware utensils for four and a few blankets for some extra warmth or cozyin. If there is anything else you might need feel free to ask, if possible, I’m happy to provide.
Otherwise just throw in your clothes, food, pillows, bring your plan for adventure, and you're ready to rock and roll.
