Enjoy your next adventure in this fully converted Mercedes Metris that seats 4 and sleeps two adults and two kids (or three adults). This recent conversion by Gtrv features a bench seat that converts to a full bed, a pop top for two little ones (or one bigger one), a fridge, two-burner stove, sink with 7 gallon water tank, propane heater, solar powered electrics, including a 120V outlet with inverter, and shore power/water capabilities. 2 deep-cycle batteries charge from the engine or rooftop solar and keep you powered for days, even off-grid. This is essentially a minivan, meaning it handles like a car and parks in a regular parking space or garage. Comes with everything you need to hit the road and enjoy the great outdoors.

The van was great. Ran like a champ, very comfortable and easy to drive. Quiet inside, as far as camper vans go (not a lot of rattles, etc). Kind of like a Westfalia, but shrunk down about 6-8 inches in every direction. Nice rig! Helen was great and easy to communicate with too. Thanks, Helen! - J -

Awesome van and host. Helen was super responsive and helpful. Pickup was a snap; we were on the road in 30 minutes. The van is clean and drives amazingly. It's a perfect layout for an adventure with comfy beds, stove, fridge and sink. Our 2 kids loved sleeping in the poptop, and we all were toasty and dry during a rain storm. The van gets great gas mileage and is a perfect weekend escape for a family of four. We will rent from Helen again!

Helen was a terrific host--thoughtful and kind. We loved her campervan. We'd definitely recommend it. Thanks!

I'm an adventure-mom, middle school teacher, and lover of the outdoors. Homer the Van is my dream come true and I'm so excited for the adventures my family will take in him and to share him with other like-minded folks. Camping, music festivals, campfires, beaches, woods, mountains, we love it all :)
