The Timber Den — Cozy Cabin Camper with Solar Power
Unlimited miles, no caps, no hidden fees. That’s how every trip should start.
Welcome to The Timber Den, the 13th van in our fleet and a direct response to what renters consistently love most. Over time, the Chevrolet Astro has become one of the most popular vans we offer, simply because it works. It’s easy to drive, easy to park, highly maneuverable, and gets great gas mileage. It’s the kind of van that feels comfortable almost immediately, even if you’ve never driven a camper before.
This Astro takes it a step further with AWD capability, giving you the confidence to reach places larger vans often can’t. Whether you’re heading into the mountains, down forest roads, or just exploring freely, it handles it with ease.
The Timber Den is designed for two people and is ideal for anything from a quick weekend reset to a longer road trip. It’s compact but surprisingly comfortable, and it proves you don’t need a massive build to have a great experience.
The standout feature is the bed. During the day, the van sits in a couch configuration that’s perfect for relaxing, reading, or enjoying a slow morning. At night, it pulls out into a full-size bed that offers significantly more space and comfort than most camper setups. It’s simple, but it makes a real difference in how well you sleep.
The interior is where this van really comes together. The design leans into a mountain cabin feel, with pine wood planking and a soft white fur-lined finish that gives it the warmth of a small retreat. With blackout curtains surrounding the space, it feels quiet and private wherever you are. The goal was to create something that feels less like a vehicle and more like a small, cozy den you can take anywhere.
Power is handled through a reliable solar setup, including a Jackery 1000+ power station with AC and DC outlets, fast charging, in-car charging, and solar panels. It’s a straightforward system that gives you what you need without overcomplicating anything.
The van comes fully stocked so you don’t have to think twice about what to bring. There’s a 5-gallon electronic water dispenser that’s easy to use for drinking, dishes, or general cleaning, whether inside or outside the van. The cooking setup includes a propane stove, pots and pans, and all the basic tools you’ll need. There’s also a simple coffee and tea station with a French press, teapot, and essentials. A 5-day cooler is included—just add ice and you’re set.
What really sets this van apart is the freedom it offers. Most rentals limit you to a set number of miles per day and charge extra once you go over. With us, there are no limits. Our renters take these vans everywhere—across the West, up to Canada, and even cross-country. When you book with Overland Campervans, you don’t have to think about mileage or adjust your plans around restrictions. You’re free to travel as far as you want, for as long as you want, and that freedom often saves hundreds compared to other rentals.
The Timber Den brings together everything that’s made this layout a favorite: simplicity, comfort, and real usability. It’s easy to settle into, easy to drive, and built for the kind of trips people actually want to take.
If you’ve been looking for something cozy, capable, and genuinely stress-free, The Timber Den is ready when you are.
