Although the van can be equipped with a toilet, we don’t offer that to renters for a variety of reasons. Mainly, we want to avoid cross contamination and reduce the number of people going to the bathroom inside the van. We encourage all renters to stay at designated campgrounds with restroom facilities, which is best practice and in accordance with Leave No Trace Principles.
No, the van does not have a built in navigation system. Most people have access to google maps or other navigation apps on their smartphones. We encourage you to bring a charger.
