As a newly converted and custom built 2021 Ram Promaster camper van, Casita is the perfect rig, whether you are vacationing, remote working, exploring, or looking for a comfy sleeping experience while visiting family and friends. She comes fully stocked with everything you need to make memories in the outdoors, without sacrificing comfort or coziness.
After a 3 month road trip from Boston to Cancun, Mexico, we fell in love with this van and now we want to share that love with you. She features a propane stovetop, refrigerator, deep sink w/ running water, indoor hot shower, roof-top solar system, full-size bed and so much more! If you want a van that feels more like a home than a mass-produced vehicle, this is the perfect rig for you.Casita, noun

RecommendationsWe are New England natives who deeply adore our corner of the country–so we can’t wait to share our favorite recommendations with you.You could head north to hike, ski, and explore the Green Mountains of Vermont or the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Perhaps you will tour local breweries, try fresh seafood in a cute coastal town, or cook your own meal under a starry night sky. A trip west to the Berkshires of Massachusetts will bring beautiful hiking trails, lakes, culture, and art. And a drive up the coast of Maine will take you through the town of Portland with its cobblestone streets and scenic waterfront views, on your way to the stunning Acadia National Park.This van was made for adventure, so exploring New England with Casita is the ideal way to have the vacation of a lifetime.
Other things to note- Casita has two-wheel drive and low clearance and so the vehicle should never be driven on off-roads, closed roads, or restricted roads.- Do not climb on top of the roof; stepping on the roof will cause cracks/leaks in the ceilings, and walking on the solar panels will break them :(- There is a strict no smoking or vaping policy. Don't lose your security deposit!- Please do not leave the interior space cold for long in winter, as the battery can only be charged above freezing point. The water system also needs to stay above the freezing point as well; a short period of time is not a problem, but it’s best to keep the interior above freezing point in general.- IMPORTANT: Casita has a HIGH ROOF and so cannot make it underneath anything less than 9’. This means no drive thrus or small bridges. Please please please be aware of this and cautious as you drive our tiny home to your amazing adventures.- Oil Change: If you drive the van further than 5,000 miles, we ask that you have the van’s oil changed, or else you will forfeit the security deposit. Engine health is serious business! We are happy to discuss this further and help with these logistics if you plan on a long-distance adventure. :)When returning the van:
1. Please make sure the gas is filled to the same level as when it was picked up, (a $7.00 per gallon fee will be charged to fill up the tank).2. Please empty the toilet, both solid and liquid waste (a $100 fee will be charged if the toilet is not returned empty).

We had an amazing time in mike’s camper! We took it from Boston to Bar Harbour with no issues, and it was really easy to camp along the way even with limited full hook-up spots available. Lots of cozy, personalized touches that made it feel like home after a long day exploring. Would definitely rent again!

Overall everything went smoothly and the van is super nice. Mike and Kelly made sure everything was clear and in order before and during our trip. Pick up and drop off was easy. We had a great time with Casita and look forward to more adventures like this!

If you're thinking about booking La Casita, do yourself a favor and do it! Our honeymoon in La Casita was absolutely incredible! It met all of our travel needs and then some. We drove out to Glacier National Park in Montana from Massachusetts and it was awesome to be self contained as we drove out there. When we were in the park and surrounding towns we were able to pull off, make meals and take rest stops. The communication with Mike and Kelly could not have been better. They were super responsive to any questions that came up during our two weeks on the road. They are incredible hosts and you could tell they lived in this van for three months because they thought of everything you could think of while on the road! La Casita is super special and we would absolutely love to take it out again on another adventure!

This was AMAZING!!!! I highly recommend Casita! Mike and his wife were so thoughtful in designing this van! There is everything you could need for a cozy comfy van life trip! I was a dash intimidated to drive the van but it drives so smoothly and was a true breeze!

My husband and I recently rented Mike and Kelly's van "Casita" for a trip from Maine to Ontario to visit family. This rental was so helpful and such fun!

Everything went smoothly and we had a great time. Mike's build is well done and there weren't any problems. Everything was clean when we arrived and the orientation was thorough. I would rent from Mike again.
