Enjoy the Coastal Cruiser Van

The van was great - had everything we needed and kept us warm and toasty at night. We slept great!

Loved the van! My son and I had an amazing time in the locals mountains. The van was clean, comfortable, and fun, and we would absolutely rent this van again. So many great memories!

I had a great time driving Hannahs and Jens Van. The rental was very uncomplicated and the pick up location is easily reachable even from San Diego by the Coaster train (40 min, 6.5 $). Even pick up and return time was flexible arrangeable, which made my logistics much easier. The Van itself is rougher than it seems on the pictures, so you should not expect super luxury as in a mobile home. Its used and its basic but has everything you need for a remote stay off the grids. Its definitely an advantage to have done some van life before and know how to organize things, especially if you want to stand free and not use a campsite every night. Its important to know that the isolation is not great, so it can get quite cold in the van during colder winter nights (i used in November). Luckily they provided a heating blanket, which i really needed (AC is running during use for some reason). But be prepared that the insight temperature will be pretty close to what you have outside. The Van has all utensils needed to prepare proper meals and i cooked dinner on the propane stove every night. Also the solar panel on the roof and the connected battery is great for charging phones, cameras and the reading light on the road. I was completely independent of any outside power source with this. Dont be mislead by the light switch you see in the photos. It is a decoration item ( dont really know why) and the van doesnt have lightning installed. The light thats available comes from the reading light above the bed and a little solar chargeable light. Its enough for the evening but dont expect great lightning of the whole van. I personally would have liked to have proper storage space for my personal belongings in the van (not just in the drunk under the bed, which is only accessible from the outside). Its possible to place items on the ground next to the chiller box (it needs to be filled with ice, not a fridge) but there is nothing to fix it with during driving so they tend to move around. If this would be my own van i would build some cabinets and attach some nets under the roof for storage. I liked the space of the Van and the possibility to move from the driver seat to the back. If you dont mind it when it is a bit rough and not super clean everywhere with a hint of adventure, i am sure you will have a great time. Its long but if your used to driving Vans and check your parking space before you should have not any problems driving it. Its runs smoothly on automatic. All in all I had a nice experience and enjoyed my trip with this Van. It gives you so much freedom and is a great way to explore Californias National Parks.

I absolutely loved renting this van! I was able to spend the weekend with my best friend and our pups. Jennifer and Hannah were so kind and made sure their van was clean and ready for us to use. They were flexible to make the times for pick up and drop off for the van work best for my schedule. They were so accommodating and I really appreciate how they had everything packed in the van ready for use so I really did not need to pack anything with me as they even had camp chairs to use. I would highly recommend staying in this van and would love to rent this van again!

Hannah and Jen were absolutely wonderful to rent from, they are communicative and friendly. We had the most magical time renting their sweet Coastal Cruiser. It offers everything you need for any type of adventure, we will definitely be renting from them again and are inspired to convert our own now! Thanks again Hannah & Jen for being such gracious hosts!

Owners were fantastic and so easy to work with. I booked a very last minute trip after getting an oceanfront campsite on short notice and they were very accommodating for me. Thanks for making my trip so easy! Carole
