Free airport pickup!Say hi to Murph the Smurf!Murphy is a 2008, high top, 144” wheel base, 3.0 turbo diesel, passenger sprinter van. She has 200k miles, but runs great, having a new transmission, new brake lines, new brake calipers, new differential and a new battery and alternator. She’s a custom conversion camper van housing everything you’ll need in a boho style living space. With plenty of space for any toys you’ll want to bring with you, she also has all the essentials: a propane two burner stove, a large sink with normal and separate filtered drinking water, refrigerator, pantry, cassette toilet, and a king(wide, queen long) bed or bench couches.She has a max air fan vented through the roof, and tinted windows all around that feature magnetic, insulated, black-out window covers.Lastly, her diesel engine will get you far at 18 miles/gallon, the rear and front facing camera will make sure you have no problems parking and the rear bicycle carrier will let you take two of your favorite steeds along with you.All of this and she still fits in any normal parking spot! Come give her a look-see and get a taste of the van life.What's includedMurphy comes with:
Two camping chairs
Clip-on fans for keeping cool

All the silverware and dishes you’ll need
120v and 12v charging for all your electronics
Cooking pans for the stove

Pillows and beddingRecommendationsMurphy has been around this entire country, literally. She was made for a trip across Canada, but COVID had other plans. Instead she traveled for 9 months along the edge of the entire United States.She’s been in every terrain, but spends most of her time at the beach. She’s no stranger to sand!Other things to notePlease be respectful!
Murphy can take a beating, and she’s meant to be enjoyed, but I’d like her to keep providing joy years down the road.- be careful with fires while cooking
- make sure always to vent via the ceiling fan while cooking
- give her wide turns to avoid swiping the ladder in tight traffic
-furry friends (pets) are encouraged.
- other than that, have fun!

Great experience!! Dylan was great to work with. Everything went as planned. We loved murph and were thankful to be in a van during some super overnight high winds in Joshua Tree. Murph, hopefully we'll see you next year!! Dylan, thanks so much.

Dylan is a great host, and Murph the Smurf is a great van. Dylan offered a well thought out experience, from the van setup to very reasonable set of rules/expectations regarding the rental itself. As a bonus, he has a demeanor that invites questions and encourages communication.

Murph was great but Dylan was an amazing host! Incredibly helpful and communicative. I will say that I think a pre-rental checklist would be beneficial to make sure everything is good to go before pickup. That said, please rent this van! Made an awesome trip with it and you will too! The van runs great, has a cool projector to cozy up with and watch a show after a day hiking, and the gas stove makes cooking a breeze! 10/10
