Year-Round Camping Comfort
Justin was excellent with the logistics of picking it up and going over everything. He took his time and was very patient, friendly and organized. I have never rented a van like this and have not camped since I was a teenager, many years ago.
This van is a RAM Promaster Low Roof 118" wheelbase. It has a very comfortable sofa that sleeps one person as is, or two people pulled out, kitchen with sink and induction cooktop, two 5-gallon freshwater jugs and a 5-gallon grey jug, and very good storage. It also has a composting toilet that we extremely easy to use and empty at the end of the trip.
I had a Starlink Mini, so I was able to keep in touch with work and family, and it worked out very well.
It was a terrific experience and allowed me to really experience the park, take hikes and do photography. I highly recommend Vander Outdoors.
The van itself was thoughtfully equipped — it truly felt like they had considered every little detail to make the trip comfortable and fun. The customer care was absolutely incredible all around. The van added so much positivity to our camping experience. I highly recommend!

About the DMV Cruiser
The DMV Cruiser is a Dave and Matt Vans LV3 campervan built on the RAM ProMaster 136-inch wheelbase van. Designed with efficiency in mind, the DMV Cruiser makes the most of its compact footprint, offering everything you need to be fully off-grid in a maneuverable, comfortable, and convenient package.
The DMV Cruiser includes dual Maxxair Fans to circulate fresh air, and a Webasto Peak Heating System to stay toasty warm during chilly nights through all four seasons. The kitchen is equipped for cooking anything from grilled cheese to hearty stews, with a powerful induction cooktop, with all appropriate cookware and utensils included. Cleaning up after meals is a breeze in the sink, with onboard fresh water.
There is plenty of storage for bags and camping gear under the short queen platform bed, which is open for easy access from inside the camper. The storage area can also serve as a cozy second sleeping area with independent LED lighting, just ask us about including an additional folding mattress. The front seats swivel to the rear to create a comfortable interior living space while in camp.
A removable second row of seats is available, which allows seating for up to four people and folds out of the way when in camp.
Very informative during the check in process and check out was a breeze.
The DMV Cruiser – 2022 RAM ProMaster was perfect for my needs. Well equipped, super comfortable, and a lot easier to drive than larger vehicles I have rented in the past. Justin was very informative during the check in process and check out was a breeze. I loved this vehicle so much that I actually started browsing around to buy one just like it… efficient layout and tech all while being just the right size to fit into standard parking lots.

Clear and stress-free.
The camper is very easy to operate, and the all-electric system (without LPG) is super handy. Thanks to the induction hob a delicious coffee in the morning in no time. And cooking food was also a pleasure.
Justin gave us all the explanations in a clear and stress-free way. And he was always available for questions, and even gave suggestions for trips for our vacation.
Much easier than with public transport.
We rented the DMV Cruiser from Vander Outdoors for 10 days. We extensively explored the beautiful Shenandoah National Park, and its beautiful hikes. Also the DC region and the banks of the Potomac River (with the many Bald Eagles).
The DMV Cruiser is a very nice campervan. Two adults, and our teenage son had more than enough space. The campervan is compact enough to park in any parking spot without worries, even just to explore Washington DC at your own pace. Much easier than with public transport.
Reservation Process
Still not sure whether these campervans will be right for me... Can I come by and check one out in person?
You bet! In-person demonstrations cost $50 per van, which can be credited to any reservation within 12 months.
