Want to escape the city for a weekend? Coming to Los Angeles and want to explore Joshua Tree or Big Sur? This Dodge Promaster has everything you might want for complete off-grid living. Powered by solar and two lithium batteries, there's never any reason to "plug in". Enjoy a hot shower after a long hike or make a gourmet meal in the oven and three-burner stove stop. The 25 gallon fresh-water tank is enough to last up to five days, depending on how much water you use. The cassette toilet is also available for convenience.
It is also equipped with everything you might need if you do want to "plug in" (fresh water hose with filter, 30 amp cable or standard cable with converter).
The bed is an RV full size with a memory foam topper and a super cozy down comforter for those chilly nights. The heater is powered from the gas tank with digital control system and the ceiling is equipped with a remote controlled Maxair fan with two additional fans included.It is incredibly easy to drive, fits into regular parking spots, and it gets approximately 16 mpg, so you don't have to break the bank filling it with gas.I lived and travelled full time in this van for 6 months and spent most of the time off-grid without every needing to be in overpopulated campgrounds. I'm more than happy to share all of my tips and tricks.***This VAN IS Available FOR Rental IN Kalispell, Montana FOR THE Month OF June AND JulyWhat's included• 2 outdoor chairs

We rented the van for 3 weeks and apart from some minor issues everything went really great. When there was an issue she answered really fast and explained everything really good to fix it. The van has everything you need and is comfortable for a longer trip of 2 persons.

The trip, as well as the RV itself, was amazing. Communication with Danielle was very smooth from the beginning; she was flexible, responsive, and easy to work with. The van was very convenient, and we enjoyed our California trip to the fullest. Highly recommended! :-)

Everything was perfect! Bed was comfy, car ran great, host was extremely communicative and flexible and made my trip significantly easier. Everything worked so well and was exactly what I needed. I took the van to Joshua tree for a few days and was so grateful to have the heater and be able to cook fresh meals and take a shower. I would absolutely rent this van again if I’m in the area!

Danielle is a Superhost

Superhosts are highly-rated and experienced, ensuring you have a fantastic outdoor experience.

Born and raised in Montana, I've spent my adult life traveling. I've lived in 7 different countries but currently call Los Angeles home. I am a high school teacher by trade so I have summers free to roam the country in the van and even took a year off to travel all over with my two dogs and two cats. I built this van so I'm extremely knowledgeable about its capabilities and nuances, so feel free to ask any questions.
