Welcome to camping in comfort, style, and efficiency. Grab your boots and let Topo show you the way to the trailhead for your next far-flung adventure! Or maybe just to the nearest lakeshore to relax and enjoy the fresh air and sunshine. :)We’ve been car-camping and backpacking with our two kiddos since they were wee, and have learned so much along the way. Sean has mad construction skills, I am mildly obsessed with fabrics and colors. As professional actors, we are used to thinking outside the box. We built Topo by hand and with lots of love; it’s the little things that add up.Thoughtfully designed to seat and sleep four, this van offers cozy, spacious comfort without the need for a pop-top roof. No canvas walls here—just a solid, weatherproof interior that makes every night restful, even during a storm.Cook up delicious meals with the two-burner induction cooktop and clean up easily in the extra-deep sink, complete with hot and cold water from a generous 24-gallon freshwater tank.The fridge is big for van standards, complete with an icebox, and you'll find ample cupboard space for all your food and supplies. Need more space? There's room in the "garage"!Equipped with a top-of-the-line electrical system powered by 600Ah of lithium batteries that recharge via solar, shore power, or while driving, you’ll have reliable power no matter where you roam. And yes, there’s even a toilet onboard for those moments when a public bathroom trek just isn’t speaking to you. Wanna travel in colder weather? Fire up the gas powered heater to keep you cozy for those ski trips and keep those indoor water tanks flowing.At just under 20 feet long, this van can park in standard parking spots. Many iconic National Park roads and campsites don't allow vehicles over 20 feet! (Glacier National Park’s Going-to-the-Sun Road or some campsites at Yellowstone, for example). The ease of parking is a game-changer, especially in busy tourist spots.Swivel seats for the driver, passenger, and bench seat offer multiple configurations, from a cozy dinette booth to a laid-back couch perfect for movie nights. Not traveling with four? It’s an ideal setup for two adventurers too, providing even more room for clothes, gear, or that guitar you wanna bring.Check out our "how to" Videos to get an idea of how everything works here: https://bit.ly/4jp5wYA**When Making A Booking Request**:

This van does it all and has it all! We will definitely be looking to rent again for our next Midwest adventure. The hosts are incredibly helpful, easy to communicate with and just wonderful people in general.

We had the best trip with Topo! Long story short, we found out we were unable to use another reservation as we were getting ready to leave with our bags packed. We scrambled and came across this van and are so glad we did! The bed was comfy, the sink and stove were great, and it came with everything you need: pots, pans, plates, tables, chairs, you name it. The hosts have a guidebook and accompanying YouTube videos that explain how to work everything like the plumbing and electricity. We are seasoned tent campers and first-time van campers and this van was perfect for us. We would definitely rent it again and recommend it to rookies and veterans alike.

What a wonderful camper van! Sean and Michelle put so much love and care into building Topo the Transit and it shows. They thought of every little detail. The YouTube Videos were very helpful in getting to know the van prior to arrival. I’ll be looking for another vacation to plan in the Midwest just so I can rent Topo again.

Host was fantastic! The videos I watched before the rental made me feel like it was my van, I had all the knowledge I needed to take it out and adventure. Van was in superb shape and drove like a dream. Nicely appointed and very comfortable. Even had a bunch of fun games we played! Highly recommend :)

Emplacement

Chicago, IL  •  Emplacement exact fourni après la réservation

Règles et politiques
• Bed is oriented east/west (sideways) so is best for folks 6ft tall or less. BUT it can adapt to sleep north/south. Let us know before booking if you are tall! • No taking vehicle on 4x4 roads or beaches. Dirt/gravel roads are fine as long as they are not rutted or washboarded. This is NOT a 4-wheel drive vehicle NOR an all-wheel drive! Serious care must be taken on any road that is not paved. Tall vans require very smart choices to be made. You will be responsible for any and all damage. We don't want to keep you from all the trailheads! (some should be avoided though!) • Lock vehicle when you leave it alone. • Report any malfunctions immediately. (There should be none.) • Toilet must be emptied, cleaned, and wiped down before return. • Trash and recycling must be emptied. • Grey water tank must be emptied regularly. Keep an eye on it! • If you plan on using the heater you must make sure we go through the instructions for it together before you set out. The heater will stop working if the gas tank is below about 1/8 to protect you from running out of gas for driving.
