Always a Good Time with Doug

You know that friend that you always go to when you want to have a good time? That’s Doug.

Doug VanDeCamp is perfect for anyone who enjoys the outdoors, yet wants to sleep comfortably. Set up camp, pop the top, and enjoy your spot in nature. After an evening around the campfire, retire to your comfy beds for a good night’s sleep. Sleeps four people: Two upstairs in the pop-top penthouse (full-size bed and windows w/curtains all around), and two more on the platform queen-size bed (70″ wide and 24″ headroom).

Doug VanDeCamp is a camper, not a glamper. The van has everything you need for a great camping experience without the trendy wallpaper and potted plants.

Included in your rental of Doug VanDeCamp:

–  Two-burner Camp Chef Everest stove. 40,000 BTU. Rated best of 2020, with 5 lb or 20 lb propane tank (enough for duration of your trip)
– Doug’s Kitchen Box: a 3-layer expanding tool box equipped with all the essentials for cooking, eating, clean-up, and more. Wheels easily along side picnic table for convenient access to everything you need to craft your gourmet meals.
– Stanley 30 qt cooler (Want a second cooler? See add-ons.)
– Four Byer Maine Lounger camp chairs
– Outdoor rug
– USB rechargeable lantern
– Folding table 27×27″
– Bug screens for front windows
– Blackout window coverings

Doug fits in a regular size parking spot and is a breeze to drive so you can stop at wineries, breweries, oyster farms, cheese artisans, bakeries and more with this easy to park rig. Lots of room for toys so don’t forget your mountain bikes, surf boards & SUP boards.

Note: Doug has AC & heat, but only while driving the van.

Pick Up and Drop Off

Rentals are Calculated on a 24-hour Basis: The rental period is generally considered to be 24 hours. If you pick up the van at 10 am, you’ll be expected to return it around 10 am. Most van owners can accommodate requests for a few extra hours at $20/hour. Alternatively, if you want to pick up in the morning and drop off in the evening, simply select the optional half day add-on when completing your reservation.

Pick Up and Drop Off Time: There is no set pick up and drop off time. You’ll make arrangements suited to your needs and schedule with the van’s owner. You can indicate your preferred pick up and drop off time when completing your reservation; final arrangements will be confirmed with the van’s owner.
