Vincent is an extended Chevy Express conversion with a bright cozy cedar paneled interior. The van comfortably seats and sleeps two people in a double bed, with plenty of storage space for all your gear. The bed is configured to convert into either inward-facing seating to use with the fold-down table, or an outward facing sofa. The front passenger seat swivels to provide additional comfortable seating.The van is equipped with a 100W solar panel and a 100 Ah lithium battery which powers the lights, the fridge and a fan – when fully charged this allows you to remain off grid for 2-3 days. A fuel-efficient diesel heater keeps the van warm well into negative temperatures, and the vent-fan will keep you cool in summer.The van contains everything you need to cook and eat – a 2-burner gas stove can be connected to the large gas cylinder for indoor cooking or taken outdoors.Vincent is a normal-height white van, so from the outside is inconspicuous if parked in town. The curtains and window covers ensure privacy. However, you will not be able to stand up inside – everything is configured to be used sitting down!Note: our van’s bed was built to accommodate a couple who are 5’5” and 5’11”. We can sleep comfortably, but do not recommend this van for people over 6’ tall, unless you are travelling solo.Check out our Instagram @ camper(dot)converts to learn more about our van’s conversion and some great local adventures!

Hi! We're Natalie & Darragh, a Brit & an Aussie who have been living in Vancouver since 2018. Our van, Vincent, was a pandemic project - we bought an old van and turned it into our camper. You can see more about the conversion process on instagram - @camper.converts

    Natalie and Darragh were terrific hosts! They answered our questions promptly and their guide was very comprehensive, providing all the information we needed about the van. They were very accommodating and we would rent with them again!

    It was so easy booking with Natalie! The tour of the van was seamless and made me feel confident to take it on the road. It was easy to drive and we didn't have any issues parking in and around the city.
    The van was clean with lovely bedding and pillows. I loved the reading lights and remote controlled heating.
    I would highly recommend taking a trip with Vincent !

    The overall experience was absolutely incredible! The van was so well build and had everything we need. Sleeping the two of us was so comfortable and with so much space. Driving the van was so smooth, easy to control and miniver even though it was so big.
    Natalie was so accommodating and fell able always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. This was my first time using outdoorsy and we had an absolutely incredible time. I would highly recommend renting Vincent VanGo through Natalie.

    We hope to host you again in future!

    Have a question?Get answers directly from the host

    Q.I'm tall, will I be comfortable in your van?
    A.
    We recommend that the van be used by people under 6 feet tall. If you are over 6ft, you may be comfortable if you are traveling solo and can sleep on the diagonal!

    Q.What flexibility is available for picking up and dropping off the RV?
    A.
    One of the owners works from home at the pick up / drop off location, so we may be able to be flexible. Please let us know what you're thinking, and we'll try to accommodate.

    Q.Does the van have bathroom facilities?
    A.
    No. There is no toilet or shower in our van. Toilet paper and a trowel will be provided though!

    Q.Did you convert the van yourselves?
    A.
    Yes we did!! Vincent was our pandemic project - we bought him as an old plumber's van in April 2021 and spent a little over a year designing and converting him into our comfortable camper. We're always happy to answer questions about the process - and you can check us out on instagram @camper.converts.
