**Update** AC has since been fixed, regarding a review that mentioned it wasn't working. This is a simple, practical van build. It has a raised roof for extra head space (I'm 5'6" and can just stand up in it). Featuring:- 2-burner propane camp stove (attached to a 20lb. propane tank). The propane tank is secured to the interior van wall, underneath one of the benches.- Bench-to-bed conversion so you have a work space / "hallway" when folded up, but a queen-size bed when it's time to sleep.- A hand-pump sink with 5 gallon water jug underneath the kitchenette area. Manually lift the sink bowl and dump outside, if you use it. No grey water tank.- Bright (and easy-to-use) recessed ceiling lights.- Kitchenette area includes utensils, pot/pan, cooking needs, bowls, plates, cups, mugs.- AC/heat/bluetooth work excellently. It's a real-wheel drive vehicle but handles backroads well.- Don't go over 75 MPH!- My "shower" is a solar shower bag and my "toilet" is a portable, three-legged toilet seat. I will provide these in the van, along with waste baggies and zip ties for proper disposal. I will also provide a "poop shovel" should you decide to use the great outdoors (I highly, highly recommend). I also recommend bringing a well-sealed water bottle as your pee jar, should you need to go at night!- The headlights work, but they are a little dim. If you aren't a great night driver, I recommend sticking to daytime driving or well-lit areas at night.- I recommend leaving it in "bed" mode then storing your items under the bed. You are welcome to store items inside the bench seats, but it can get tedious having to put the bed away before you can get items from inside the benches.- If you plan on going down dirt roads, be prepared for some dust. If you are storing things inside the bench seats, I recommend storing them inside the plastic bins (provided), or putting inside plastic bags - or, if you're cool with dust, then just let them be!
What's includedTwo camp chairs, fresh linens, pillows, freshly-filled 5 gallon potable water jug, camp stove with propane, cooking ware, cutlery and eating needs, inverter to charge items.RecommendationsIf you're staying local to Utah, I recommend taking this rig to some of my favorite camp spots such as Nebo Loop, Antelope Island, Provo Canyon, American Fork Canyon, Goblin Valley or the Salt Flats. These places have beautiful free camp spots dispersed throughout their areas. Use the iOverlander phone app to locate free camp spots in these areas.Other things to noteNo smoking and no pets...sorry :(

Meet your host, Hilary

Member since 2022

Hi, I'm Hilary! About two years ago, I gutted and built out this van with my dad and then hit the road full-time. I've traveled across the US, spending most of my time in the PNW, Arizona, and Utah. This van has been my home for over a year and I'm ready to share it with other travelers who have the bug for adventure. It's an old boy, but has a lot of unique charm. And fun fact - it used to be a Holiday Inn shuttle bus! You can still see the wording on the doors if you look closely....

We had a wonderful time travelling with ‘Smoky’. Charming camper van with everything we needed. Very reliable van, in spite of its high mileage and rugged appearance (that’s just character). Did a road trip of 3K+ miles without any problem whatsoever. Hilary is a relaxed owner and pleasant and fast communicator. Five stars!

We had such a great trip in Hilary’s van. It has all you need for your trip. The bed is super comfy, the cooker works great, and it feels spacious, with enough room for all your stuff. The van is nice to drive and gets you from a to b. We spent a couple of weeks climbing in Smokey and we had a great time! Highly recommend Smokey for your next trip. Also, Hilary is awesome to deal with. 👍

Green Van Go was exactly as described by Hilary and a blast to drive around. My 12 year old daughter and I went from deserts to mountains to canyons with this van as our home base and have no complaints. We never folded up the bed, easier to keep it down. But otherwise used every feature. Hilary was terrific, easy to communicate with before, during, and as we returned the van too.

We had a great experience! The van can get a little shaky when driving above 65mph or on dirt roads, but can definitely handle both. Plenty of space for two, including storing suitcases. Bed was comfy and the stove was easy to use. Overall great!
