Fall/Winter 2026 update - If you are looking to rent this fall or winter, please message first as our camper van is not 4x4 and we would prefer not to rent for winter camping or ski resort use.
We're happy to begin sharing our camper van on Outdoorsy. Located 15 minutes from the Reno Tahoe International Airport makes for a quick rideshare to our camper, or we can deliver to you for a fee.
Meet Marv — Mobile Adventure Recreation Vehicle. We call it Marv, Marvy, and Marvellous. Marv is a 2022 Winnebago Solis 59PX sitting on a 3” OHV lift with all-terrain tires and a matching full-size spare, generator skid plate, side and rear door bug screens. Built to sleep four, haul gear, and go!
Marv IS Built Different & Drives Different.
At 21 feet, Marv handles like a large van — not a lumbering RV. The Ram ProMaster 3.6L V6 with 9-speed automatic handles mountain grades confidently and returns around 15 mpg. Standard safety features include a backup camera, blind spot monitoring, crosswind assist, and lane keep assist. You’ll be comfortable driving it within the first few miles, and confident in it on any road you’d take a regular vehicle.
Where you'll sleep: Two real beds. The rear bed has been upgraded with a near king sized extension and mattress topper, rare in any camper van. The "Sky Bunk" pop-top loft sleeps two more in an elevated, ventilated space above the van. This bed is 52"x79".
Four-season capable. Truma Combi Eco heat and hot water, fully insulated interior plumbing, heated drainage, Rooftop AC, and a whisper-quiet generator (National Park approved) keep Marv comfortable year-round. Brand new 220W rooftop solar and dual batteries handle off-grid power. Full galley kitchen, wet bath with shower, cassette toilet, and 2 exterior wash stations round it out.
THE Best Home Base IN THE West
Reno sits at the crossroads of an extraordinary range of destinations. Leave the driveway in the morning and by afternoon you could be:
Lake Tahoe — 45 minutes away. North America’s largest alpine lake, ringed by beaches, hiking trails, granite peaks, and world-class ski resorts. Summer or winter, Tahoe is endlessly rewarding from a camper van.
The Lost Sierra — Head northwest into Plumas and Tahoe National Forests and the crowds disappear. Hot springs, remote granite lakes, old-growth forest, and mile after mile of trails with almost no one on them. Continue north to Mt. Lassen and explore Lassen National Park and Lava Beds National Monument!
Eastern Sierra — South on US-395 leads to one of the great drives in America. Bridgeport and Twin Lakes, Mammoth Lakes, June Lake Loop, Mono Lake’s alien tufa towers, the Alabama Hills beneath Mount Whitney, and the ancient bristlecone pine forests of the White Mountains. Not to mention you can access Yosemite from 395 at Lee Vining over Tioga Pass Spring through fall.
The Ruby Mountains, Nevada — Called the “Alps of Nevada” for good reason. Dramatic, uncrowded, and genuinely spectacular — Lamoille Canyon rivals anything in the Sierra and you’ll likely have it to yourself.
Great Basin National Park — Five hours east and a world away. Lehman Caves, the oldest living trees on Earth, 13,063-foot Wheeler Peak, and some of the darkest, most star-filled skies anywhere in the lower 48. Marv’s off-grid capability was made for a place with no hookups and no cell service for miles.
