Say hello to Chewie! Our classic VW Westfalia. He’s a burly ‘85 Westy that goes opposite of light speed. We’ve upgraded him with a few luxuries, and as always — stocked full of top notch camping gear.Full featured, the van includes a "pop top", 2 beds to sleep 4 adults comfortably, propane stove, an aluminum cooler, sink, portable heat, outdoor camping table, a closet with plenty of storage, and those killer bucket seats that swivel! Like the rest of the Westy's we all love, Chewie is fully equipped to meet all your camping and adventure needs. We've modernized him with a bluetooth stereo, solar panel + auxiliary battery to keep your gadgets charged during your adventure, and he’s also working with an Automatic Transmission and power steering so there's no need to learn how to operate a stick shift or be a professional arm wrestler.Chewie is perfect for a long family trip or just a quick getaway for a couple to a nearby beach or National Park. We hope you will enjoy him for your next adventure as much as our family does! Pro tip: If you pass another VW, be sure to wave. Peace signs, shakas, and the always classic rock on formations work best ( | | ), but any old gesture will do. It’s a tradition amongst VW van drivers like you :)Cosa è inclusoRental includes 100 miles per day; extra miles are $1.00 each. While the van can travel 300+ miles daily, it’s best to stay under 200 miles, especially in hot weather. For longer drives, please take occasional breaks for you and the van.Included Equipment:
• Medium pot
• Small frying pan
• Cutting board
• 4 mugs
• 4 large plates
• 4 small plates
• 4 bowls
• 1 small mixing bowl
• Knife
• Forks/spoons/butter knives
• Wine opener
• 2 sleeping bags
• 2 pillows
RaccomandazioniHighly recommend you download the iOverlander mobile app to find amazing scenic places to park and camp. Chewie is perfect for a long family trip or just a quick getaway for a couple to a nearby beach or National Park. Pro tip: If you pass another VW, be sure to wave. Peace signs, shakas, and the always classic rock on formations work best (✌️ | 🤙 | 🤘), but any old gesture will do. It’s a tradition amongst VW van drivers like you :)Altre cose di cui prendere notaPlease keep in mind that this is a unique vehicle that requires more attention than a modern vehicle. Keep in mind that when going over mountain passes or steep grades it will slow down to maybe 40-45 mph. This is normal and part of the journey. Please do not push it too hard, Chewie is just telling you that you need to "slow life down" 😊

Responsive, helpful, and communicative

Anthony is highly praised for his quick responses, thorough explanations, providing detailed guides/videos, and being flexible and supportive of guests' needs and schedules.

Surprisingly smooth for its age

This well-maintained 1985 Westfalia drives smoothly and handles well, even on hills. It features Bluetooth audio, a reliable battery, a pop-up top for space, and comes fully equipped for camping, though its gas tank is small.

Huge fun. What a great experience. We went camping with a bunch of friends and everyone wanted a tour of the camper van. It had everything we needed and I would def rent it again.

We had an incredible experience renting "Chewie" (1985 Westfalia) from Anthony. As someone renting a vintage van for the first time, I was impressed by how well-maintained the vehicle was. It ran smoothly throughout our trip to Yosemite and Napa, giving us total peace of mind on the road. ​Two features were particularly convenient: ​Bluetooth Audio: Having this installed made it so easy to use smartphone navigation and enjoy our favorite playlists during the long drives. ​Reliable Battery: The electrical system was robust, and we had ample power throughout our camping stays without any issues. ​Anthony was a fantastic host—very helpful and professional. The van was clean, well-stocked, and full of character. If you want a soulful, worry-free road trip, Chewie is the perfect choice. Highly recommended!

We LOVED our time with Chewie! He had everything we needed, was super cozy, and handled super nice for an older vehicle! We took him to Big Sur and had a blast even in 2 days of rain! Anthony was super helpful and kind, responded promptly to our messages when we needed help with anything! Will be booking again!! 😄
