The Van was such a great way to experience Yosemite! The bed was super cozy and warm at night. It was also easy to warm up in the morning to get the chill off. Having a stove to cook food or heat up water is such a nice feature to make traveling easier. All the amenities needed to cook are provided which is great for packing light. It was wonderful to snuggle up in the evenings with the solar powered light on and a book. Sarah is a great host to communicate with and she is incredibly accommodating! One of the kindest and most responsive hosts you will encounter for sure. I would highly recommend renting this van to travel and get in touch with nature, or head to a festival.

The van known as Mrs. Tasha is offered by a delightful hostess, Sarah, who goes out of her way to make your experience hassle free and rewarding. Sarah keeps friendly communication open as needed allowing flexibility to your schedule and is responsive to all other needs that may arise.
Ms. Tasha was comfortable and easy to drive. She cruised up a 25% grade as we summited a 9500 foot elevation pass. The food and beverages stayed cold and the bed was comfy throughout my five night experience. I didn’t use the optional AC/heating unit as it wasn’t necessary. The propane stove was efficient and Ms. Tasha was stocked with everything I needed utensil-wise. Overall, an easy, fun and wonderful experience. Mahalo to my amazing hostess Sarah !

At the start of the trip, Sarah clearly listened to our concerns, Helped us learn the van. We explained what we wanted to do and she set us up to do it. We took a a lovely vacation with great scenery. Even though it rained during much of our trip, we were safe and cozy in her van. We had a great experience and would do it again in a minute. Seeing giant redwoods in the rain seemed like a perfect environmental experience!

Visit our FAQHow it works
Q.How much will the solar power?
A.
4 Roof Mounted Solar Panels, a 400 Watt Solar Charge Controller, and 300 Amp Hours in Batteries powers all the essentials plus some. With conscious energy consumption, it's all I ever really need. Solar covers: Refrigerator/ Freezer, Water Pump, Lights, Phone or Laptop Charging, TV, Most other things you may want to plug in. (Anything high power, or with a heating element like a coffee maker, heating kettle, blow dryer, clothes dryer or air conditioner should be plugged in to the generator)
Q.Tell me about the kitchen...
A.
Whether you like the ease of pepping food ahead, or cooking fresh meals on journey, Mrs.Tasha’s got you covered. Good sized fridge & freezer for plenty of food & drinks. Two burner stove top, with oven for baking. Two cabinets stocked with essential kitchen gear. Somewhat limited counter space, but a fold out kitchen table makes up for it. Coffee fixings! You can’t miss the quintessential camper van moment of drinking coffee in bed while overlooking your newly discovered incredible view!
Q.How does the water system work?
A.
You can feel free with the convenience of being able to wash your hands, face, teeth, or dishes whenever you feel like it, with the little stainless steel kitchen sink that flows with cold and hot water. A 40 gallon Fresh Water Tank, pump, and 40 gallon Grey Water Tank for used water. You can shower with the trees, in the breeze, with the outdoor shower off the back door. Bamboo standing platform and curtain enclosure give privacy and ease. Hot Water from On-Demand Propane soothes the soul.
Q.What is the toilet situation?
A.
Not included, but available as an 'Add On', is a fold out toilet with bags that can be disposed of. You can sit yourself with it inside the van or put in outdoors inside shower curtain enclosure between the back doors. This can allow you to really get off the grid and into nature, or take an extra long trip. Must be returned cleaned or additional fee.
