We have one that fits perfectly, which you can add-on to your rental for a small fee. As a family of four, this is how we like travel.

RecommendationsOne of the great things about our van is how versatile it is for boondocking (camping without hookups) and dry camping. You don't need electrical or water hookups—everything is self-contained. You can park in a campground or on the side of the road, and the battery lasts for almost a full week with normal use—even cooking! The battery charges automatically while you drive. You can even charge in "high idle" mode, meaning you can just run the engine while parked.Other things to noteFestivals are ok, but burning man is not allowed
No 4x4 off-roading without prior experience & approval
No smoking
Dogs are welcome with small fee (see add-ons)
Freezing conditions requires winterizing process OR setting the thermostat to 62 at all times to prevent pipe damage.

We had a fantastic family adventure in Yosemite! Sol’s van was perfect for a week of camping, and our kids just loved #vanlife.

We had an outstanding time renting this van for our 10 day trip across the Southwestern US. It did well on bumpy forest roads and in ice — SolRising is ready for any condition. The extra large battery and water tank made it so we could stay off the grid the entire trip which was very convenient for dispersed camping. The second rear seat doubled perfectly for our dog’s sleeping area and fit her bed perfectly.

If you haven't rented a Storyteller, Solrising is your chance. Excellent "garage" space. Easy to drive. Enough electricity to last a few days. And Sol is wonderful.

Have a question?Get answers directly from the host

Q.How do the electric, water and sewage hook up work while setting up at the campground?
A.
You won't need electric or water hookups if you're staying in one place for less than a week. The solar plus the big battery last 4-6 days of normal use, and the battery will charge automatically when you drive. You can always use the included power cable which can plug into any standard 30A campground hookup to charge without driving. Water tank is large and can be filled using a standard hose or even remain connected while at a campground or house.

Q.What flexibility is available for picking up and dropping off the RV?
A.
Just let us know when you'd like to pick up and drop off. We're flexible to meet your needs, including early morning or late night pick ups and drop offs. Generally we can meet you any time during the week or weekend with enough notice. Please note that drop-off time is 11am, unless otherwise agreed to. You may park your vehicle on our (safe and quiet) street for free during your reservation.

Q.What makes this 4x4 RV different from other RVs?
A.
This is not your typical RV. It's a customized 2021 Mercedes Sprinter 4x4 designed for luxury and off-grid adventures. Equipped with modern amenities, high-capacity batteries, and solar panels, it offers both comfort and sustainability, perfect for families and adventurers alike. Unlike other larger RVs, it's size means it fits in any standard parking place - meaning it can be parked anywhere your travels take you.

Q.Is your van dog friendly?
A.
Yes, we are happy to accommodate up to two of your well-mannered furry friends! We understand that they are part of the family. We just ask that you pay our small pet fee (listed in add-ons) for the increased wear and tear. Most vans of this quality don't allow dogs, so we hope you appreciate and honor our trust in you, fellow dog owner!
