Vanshee is a cozy, no frills, Chevrolet Astro van that travels and sleeps 2 people.
We bought and started renovating the van back in 2020; she's been an on going project that we have been exploring in ever since.
The van is older and has some quirks but she's a great budget camper that's got it where it counts.
It's a great van for road tripping and exploring in and due to the smaller size it is able to be taken on BC ferries as a standard vehicle even with roof bag on (up to 7 feet tall).
The interior is insulated and wood cladded. It has a dinette bench seat which can be set up in several different styles and that ultimately converts into a small queen sized bed (68"x 70"x 4.5") with storage space underneath.The interior of the van has:
• Battery operated LED string lights
• Curtains
• Mirror
• 1 fly screen over the front passenger window
• multiple storage pockets behind the driver and passenger seats
• Coleman electric cooler which can be kept cool with ice blocks (which we can provide) or it can be run off of the 12 volt power if needed (only while engine is running).
• Rear heater for fall / spring time camping (only while engine is running).We hope you enjoy exploring in her as much as we do!Happy campingWhat's includedWe are happy to provide some basic camping amenities free of charge such as:

Whistler, Squamish and surrounding areas on the sea to sky highway are beautiful mountainous scenery along the ocean.
Manning Park is one of nature's playgrounds with everything you could imagine.

We do recommend that you stick to highways (and if you're going to do FSRs you stick to the major ones - as if anything should happen its hard to call a tow truck in the middle of the bush with no service).
