- Pavement and maintained gravel roads only. Maurice is a heavy converted van due to the interior build and requires extra care when driving, turning, and braking. Off-roading is not permitted, including driving on sand, beaches, trails, rough or rutted roads, or other unmaintained surfaces. Please choose destinations accessible by suitable roads.
- The bed comfortably accommodates guests 5'7" and shorter. Its sleeping length is limited by the van’s interior layout, so it is not suitable for taller guests who need to stretch out fully.
- Off-grid amenities do not mean off-road capability. The solar and onboard setup allow camping without hookups at suitable, road-accessible locations.What's included- Cozy bed: comfortable for guests 5'7" and shorter; fresh linens, pillows, and bath towels included
- Solar-powered battery: USB and 12V charging, plus interior LED lights
- Kitchen: fridge, sink with electric pump, clean/grey water tanks, extra water jugs, two-burner stove + compact stove with butane
- Cooking essentials: pots, pans, kettle, French press, cutting board, knives, utensils, dishware for two, basic spices, and olive oil
- Non-flushable toilet: bucket style included
- Outdoor setup: 2 tables, 2 chairs, 2 stools/footrests, lamp, string lights, and headlamps
- Extras: Bluetooth speaker, gear storage, cleaning supplies, roadside and first aid kits
- Getting started: guidebook and walkthrough videoRecommendationsHere are some of our favorite Bay area escapes:
1. Lake Tahoe – Crystal-clear alpine lakes, epic hikes, and cozy mountain towns.
2. Russian River – Wine country vibes + lazy river floats. Check out the redwoods around Guerneville and Armstrong Woods.
3. Yosemite – World-class hiking and views.
4. Santa Cruz & Big Basin – Surf by day, redwoods by night.
5. Point Reyes – Coastal cliffs, elk herds, and secret beaches.
6. Mendocino & Lost Coast – Quiet coastal forests and rugged beaches.Other things to noteRules + Notes

5.0My partner and I really enjoyed our time in Maurice. We took a road trip on the coast from Caramel to Monterrey to Big Sur. The hosts were very responsive and equipped the van with everything we needed to make our trip smooth and enjoyable. The solar panels were great and allowed us to use the outlets at whatever point , as well as keeping our food cool in the fridge. Hosts made sure we were educated on where everything is in the van when we arrived, and walked us through all components of the van. Overall, great experience. Thank you!

5.0We are enchanted by Maurice. From years of camping and traveling on long road trips, the van literally was equipped with every essential. Comfortable for sleeping (#1 priority) and so easy to park and get settled. Bonus, hosts were super accommodating as well. Looking forward to renting Maurice on our next trip to SF area.

5.0We loved borrowing Maurice for our California weekend trip. Everything was exactly as described and Lindsay was super nice, even getting milk for our coffee in the morning :) The van has everything you need to get away and it was lovely to have access to running water and a fridge.
