Chevy conversion van, seats five, sleeps four, two in the roof top tent and two on the electrically-operated fold down bed. Van is equipped with 2000W inverter running off 200AH batteries, includes a 59 qt. portable frig powered full time by the house batteries. Microwave, coffee maker, toaster, mini-blender, and air fryer run off the AC inverter. Propane stoves for more power-extensive cooking. Portable solar panel and a 2000W portable generator provide emergency backup if needed. The van was built to have everything you need for dry-camping. Renters have used it in campgrounds, off-the highways, at rest areas, and other places.
Van is maintained according to recommended schedule, goes through a complete check and road-tested by the Master Mechanic (Me) before each trip. Has small sink for brushing , light washing, 40 gallon fresh water tank under the floor could be filled for long showers at camp grounds. Diesel heater installed for winter camping. Hot external outside shower is set up at the back of van.
The lower bed is extendable to 80 in. Long , 56 inch wide. The roof tent sleeps 2 adults (80 x 50 inch) and used to store bedding supplies. The additional roof top tray with the supplied bag can carry another 15 cu ft. of cargo plus another 10 cu ft from the hitch carrier box.
The van is much more quiet and pleasant to drive than a class C, functionally (place to sleep, cook, eat, and relax after exploring) the same as a much more expensive, new camper van ($75K +), cost effective, efficient and a perfect fit for two people also workable for larger parties. Much more versatile/economical alternative than hotel + rental car + rest meals option (rental cost is same as 2 1/2 star hotel room charge.
Save a ton of money cooking your own meals vs. paying absurdly overpriced-restaurant charges .Lastly, full-frame Chevy is safer than a similar vehicle without a frame.
What's includedI do not charge prep fee to keep the rental cost affordable and do not like to nickel and dime people (ten dollars for this twenty dollars for that, and so on...). A $100 prep fee increases the cost per day $33 for a short 3-day rental. Everything you need for camping will be provided at no extra charge.
Will try to accommodate your request so you'll have a wonderful trip. Two sets of sheets, blankets, pillows, and towels are provided. Small table, chairs, mini-kitchen (installed at the back of van) includes essential kitchen utensils, dinnerware set for 4, coffee maker, toaster, rice cooker, air fryer , portable 2-burner stove, mini magic bullet blender, 1 set of pots and small 10 " frying pan. Also a portable toilet is also provided.
RecommendationsWe've taken the van to San Diego, Yosemite, Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, Glacier National Park, and San Juan islands. Renters used it to tour Oregon and Washington, Calif. redwoods, Yosemite, Kings Canyon, LA and San Diego, Sequoia National Parks, Lake Tahoe, Olympic Peninsula, and the Midwest. Other things to noteEarly pickup and late return maybe accommodated if no conflict with subsequent rental and specified in advance. Otherwise, if there is conflict, half day rental will be charged.If the provided portable toilet is not returned CLEAN, $100 will be charged for a new toilet and the renter can keep the old one.

I built this van as my hobby after retiring from 35 years of automotive engineering. Originally bought to save on my hotel bills when taking my daughter to out of town, regional soccer tournaments, spent 2 years to fix all mechanical issues and gradually converted to a self-contained camper van to make my van-stay more comfortable.

It was a great experience. The van has everything one needs to escape into the outdoors. Thanh is super responsive, helpful and just a pleasure to work with. You can go boondocking without issues. Though the van is old, it is equipped with the latest tools and technology. We went roadtripping in Oregon for 8 days, would definitely rent again.

Thanh’s vehicle was amazing and perfect for our week long camping trip to Bend, Crater Lake and the coast. He provides everything you need for your camping adventure! (Take him up on the sleeping pad - it’s amazing!) All the listing pics are accurate & great communication with the owner. Book this and have an epic Oregon adventure!!

This was my first conversion van rental experience and I'm glad I chose Thanh's. He has thought out all of the details, and it was so well equipped. It is a bit of a learning curve, but everything worked well for 3 of us. It was an excellent home base for our concert weekend at the Gorge. He was very responsive to the few questions I had, which was appreciated. I look forward to hopefully taking another van trip at some point! Thank you!

Thanh was pleasant to work with and provided good explanations of how everything in the van worked. the setup in the van was great, although the motor that raises and lowers the spare tire for access to the left rear door was very slow. Thanh was patient and understanding when he discovered we accidentally kept the sleeping pad.

My family had an amazing experience with Thahn's van - it made a nice adventure home! We took a trip along the Oregon coast and around the Olympic peninsula, bringing back memories of adventure and quality time with family. The van was comfortable for three adults and a 6yo child, and was equipped with everything we needed and more. At the end of the trip, my daughter told me she would like to continue to live in the camper van!

We had to buy an air mattress paper plates throwaway silverware and it was very uncomfortable would not rent that van again

Thanh’s answer

Due to conflict with my daughter's soccer tournament, I was not at home to show Jerry how to operate the van in person. It was fine for first 5 days when he was with his brother who apparently helped. After that he had trouble with the how-to videos. The van has everything he needed. My 18 other 5-star reviews agreed.
