Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Passage by Midwest Automotive Designs
Rear Wheel Drive (aka NOT built for off-roading)
Diesel Fuel
My favorite thing about this van is its relatively petite frame — I call it "Baby Beluga" —
Being small enough to fit in a standard parking spot comes in handy both in cities and at those crowded National Parks.
From VanCity:
"If you have been searching for a Class B diesel motorhome that is easy to drive to all-day soccer tournaments, charity walks on the weekend, or to visit family in another state, you have found the perfect solution with this Passage 144. If you like to cook for everyone, the induction cooktop and the convection microwave make it easy. There is sleeping space for two, as well as a wet bath to get cleaned up for the day.
With any Midwest Automotive Passage 144 Class B diesel motorhome, you will appreciate the safety of the Mercedes-Benz chassis on a 19' platform and the performance engineering of a diesel engine. Inside, you will find meticulous leather-clad upholstery and polished wood veneers throughout, as well as a cabin full of appliances and electronics that offer convenience and luxury."
The first owners purchased this van brand new in January 2021.
I bought it Summer 2022 with only 10.5k miles on it!

Other things to note-We do take day reservations for those #WFH, beach, tailgate, game days. Message me with the requested time frame.-We are dog, kid, festival* and tailgate friendly, but you will have to pay for the extra cleaning required. *NOT BURNING MAN-Car seats may be attached to the passenger seat. MUST swivel the seat to face backwards (not facing the airbag!!!) The rear reclining bench does NOT have car seat hookups.-This is a Diesel. If you fill it will Regular Gasoline, you will be charged for all damage. If you catch yourself, do NOT turn on the engine! Get it towed to the nearest dealership for a drain ASAP!-NO smoking or vaping in the vehicle. Smoking will incur a $1500 cleaning fee. We don't mess around here. And yes this includes weed. Just take it outside (and don't start a forest fire).RETURN DAY
I have to warn renters while planning their itineraries that the RETURN DAY for the van requires a chunk of your precious vacation time. It is understood and agreed upon that you return the van by 6pm in the same state as it was given: clean, fuel & propane FILLED, grey & black water tanks EMPTY
If you don't want to deal with any of that hassle, you can pay for the following Add-Ons: Post-Trip Cleaning ($100), Fuel Refill Prepayment ($150), Propane Refill Prepayment ($40), Empty Septic Prepayment ($100)I try to remind renters of this, because a lot of the time, they will plan on a 4pm return based on the driving distance. But of course they hit traffic, and then, by the time they're back in town, they still haven't taken into account the 3 time-consuming stops you must make before your return: a dump station, a diesel fuel station, and a car wash. (Re: cleaning, it doesn't have to be deep-cleaned and detailed, but it must be washed on the outside and at least swept, hand-vacuumed, and wiped down on the inside. No dirty dishes left behind!) Again, some people don't want to deal with some (or any) of that. We have those Add-Ons so that you don't have to.PICK-UP/DROP-OFF
***Can be arranged for pickup/delivery/return in Los Angeles and Ventura Counties***
Pick-up/Delivery/Return times and locations must be arranged with the owner ahead of time. You may request a pick-up or a drop-off any time after 8am for your departure. BEFORE YOU DRIVE AWAY, all guests must complete a walkthrough of the van and a quick practice drive. This usually takes ONE HOUR, so please plan accordingly. The drop-offs are much faster, but a walk-around is still required for insurance purposes, so add that extra half hour into your plans.You may schedule an early pick-up/delivery (before 8am) for $50 and/or a late drop-off (after 6pm) for $50 -- please let me know and select them in the Add-Ons section during checkout. If you do not *schedule* a late drop-off within 48hrs of your return, and you do not arrive before 6pm, you will owe $100. If you arrive after 10pm, you will be charged for an additional night.

Meet your host, Cynthia

Member since 2021

A hostess with the mostess!
I have always enjoyed both sides of the hospitality business.
I love pampering others as much as I love being pampered.
Must stem from being raised by a midwestern homemaker.
Combine that with a father who sold Mercedes his entire adult life
and dreamt of being a park ranger in his retirement, and BAM!
A Sprinter Van was purchased and a rental business was born: Ventura Ventures, LLC

Renting w Cynthia was a great decision. The van is in very good condition and well taken care of. Having the driver assistance features made long drives very easy! Will rent again.

Q.What flexibility is available for picking up and dropping off the RV?
A.
The pick-up/delivery window is any time between 8am and 6pm on your departure date. The return window is any time between 8am and 6pm on your return date. *Keep in mind that the walkthrough takes an hour!* You may schedule an early pick-up/delivery (before 8am) and/or a late drop-off (after 6pm) for $50. If you do not schedule a late drop-off within 48hrs of your return, and you do not arrive before 6pm, you will owe $100. If you arrive after 10pm, you will be charged for an additional night.

Q.How do the electric, water and sewage hook up work while setting up at the campground?
A.
I made this video to show you the step-by-step process for connecting and dumping the grey and black water tanks: https://youtu.be/FylwoDs5OU4 I will make another with electric and water :)

Q.Are there any special tricks and tips that would help with operating the RV easily?
A.
Tip: I like to drive on the highways using cruise control set just above the speed limit. Then, I turn on the driver's assist to allow 2-3 van lengths between myself and the car in front of me. Once I'm behind another car, I can truly take my feet off the pedals and steer, while the Mercedes matches the speed of the car in front of me. Trick: When watching TV, turn on the Fusion speaker system and select "Optical" on both the TV and speaker system settings to get incredible surround sound.

Q.Do I need a special license or driving practice?
A.
No, my van is a Class B, so no special license is required. Before sending you on your way, we will do a practice drive with you behind the wheel. Don't worry, it's a very easy to maneuver and park, and you have 360 cameras helping you see all around. It'll warn you when someone is in your blind spot, and the visibility from the driver's seat makes you feel like you're flying! TIP: Practice driving your car relying only on your side mirrors, since the rearview mirror in the van is just for show
