A Vagabond Sunrise Coffee
Coffee included! (Bring your own cream) You can’t miss the quintessential camper van moment of drinking coffee in bed while overlooking your newly discovered incredible view! I stock you with some of my favorite fresh local roasted beans.
Power Freedom
600 Amp Hour Lithium Batteries and 1500 Watt Inverter will give you a comfortable amount of usable power.. Though conscious use of capacity is still recommended.
Re-charge up the system in 3 ways:
1) 400 Watts Roof Solar Panels (automatically)
2) 30 Amp Vehicle Alternator While Driving (automatically)
3) 120v Shore Power Plug In (shore plug charges battery but does not directly create unlimited power) You can plug in at a campground or into the generator.
Power Use Mindfulness
Air conditioner, induction cooktop, inverter-using appliances consume the most power. The refrigerator uses a decent bit too. Everything else is very minimal. (lights, phone charging)
Conscious and efficient use will optimize your power capacity enjoyment. Things like keeping an eye on power level when using the Air Conditioner, being mindful of leaving fridge door open, and turning off the inverter when not needed will go a long ways. Leave high power or high heat appliances at home, and follow these tips, and you’ll have plenty of power for your needs.
(See FAQs for which appliances use AC or DC electric)
Generator
Back-up generator is included, with unlimited hours, though rarely, if ever, used.
Air Conditioner
New roof-mount Air Conditioner right above the bed blows nice cool air and will keep you comfortable, though do know that it’s not quite as powerful as most regular household ACs. It runs on DC electricity directly off the battery bank and does require some mindfulness with power usage to keep you in good shape. You can run it from a remote with various settings. Separate vehicle cab heater & AC work great on the road but not for use when stationary.
Heater
Heater furnace is gasoline powered directly from the vehicle gas tank. Operate it from a phone app. Uses almost no power. Heats the space pretty quickly with nice hot airflow.
Toilet Bucket Kit
Toilet is a non-built-in bucket toilet kit. It has a toilet seat and double bag system. Throw away bags after use. No need to deal with black water tank. Return kit empty and sanitized to avoid extra cleaning charges. Bags, toilet paper, and a pop up privacy tent for outdoor use are included.
Accessibility /Disability
While the van isn't designed with specific accessibility features, I have found ways and tips that can make it more accessible. (See FAQs for more info)
Home- Built Charm
Being a unique home built van, once in a while, troubleshooting can become needed. I always do my best to help make your trip as smooth and enjoyable as possible. And welcome any communication or questions. And love to hear your insights upon return, cause I’m always tinkering with improvements.
Pick Up & Drop Off
Contactless pick up / drop off with a van orientation document and video is the default way I do hand-off. And I'm always happy to answer questions. And if other accommodations for pickup up/drop off are preferred or needed just ask. Times listed are a default placeholder. We can adapt plans as needed. Your personal vehicle can be left at the property while you are on your trip.
Delivery
Delivery is available. Select Airport or Train Station delivery in Add-Ons or just reach out for other locations , and we'll figure it out. I’ll need to adapt it around my work schedule…So, with flexibility, it's an option. With the airport I generally do contactless drop/pick up in the overnight parking. There is a fee for delivery, based on what I need to make it pencil out.
Mileage for your Exploration
150 miles per day is totaled up for your mileage allowance included with your trip. Overage is not a problem, but is $0.38/ mile charged after return. Van is not 4x4. No offroading. Well maintained dirt roads are ok.
Contribute to a Cool Vision
Know that, when you rent my van you will not only make magical memories for you, it will also help fund my journey of building my wildest dream: To create an Earthship Herb Farm Adventure Camp at my land in Murphys, CA. (Wildlings Outpost) It will be a place to be human, attune the lens of life to adventure, connect to the earth, self, and others. Align with true nature. A place to ground, grow, gather and embrace the wild unknown. You will be invited. So thank you so much!
Pricing Transparency
I receive payment for the nightly rate only minus 25% that goes to the Booking Platform. I do not charge a separate additional cleaning fee. My nightly base rate is $195, and the Booking Platform automatically adjusts my nightly rate up or down 10% (approx $20) for high or low seasons, etc. All other charges in your booking total are charged by the Booking Platform for taxes, fees, and insurance packages. I’ve seen them usually land around $100/day, based on options you select. And I know, unfortunately, that it does add up. I try to keep my own portion of your cost as fair to the value and market as possible.
Affordability Options
I'd like to make this van experience as accessible as possible to people with various income & financial levels. (See FAQs for ideas)
Explore Local Calaveras
There's so much to see right here. Visit Calaveras County, our Neighbors Tuolumne and Amador, or Tahoe, Yosemite, or a million other hidden gems. Go where the wind blows you.
