Our 1986 VW Westfalia Camper is the ultimate costal cruiser. Lovingly restored, the interior is super clean and all the mechanicals are dialed. The van has a smooth running, rebuilt 2.1L Waterboxer engine, with an entirely new cooling system, and upgraded front and back disc brakes. It sports oversize 16" wheels for a more stable ride, a rear mounted, swing away full size spare, a roof rack with surfboard pads & tie downs, a side ladder for roof access, and vintage Yakima roof box.Looking for something a little different? We have a fleet of six classic VW vans which you can check out here:https://www.outdoorsy.com/pro/170879What's includedEach vintage VW Westfalia rental comes equipped with a valid "California Explorer" State Parks Pass ($195 value) which will get you free parking at all beaches operated by the California State Parks system as well as free day use entry into the parks themselves. Please note the pass is not valid for city operated beach parking or overnight camping, regardless of location.Want to rent surfboards or more camping gear? We've got you covered. Just check of the list of what you want (fees apply) and we'll handle the rest.Other things to notePlease keep in mind that this is a vintage rig, max highway speed is 65 mph, and even with all the upgrades and a perfectly tuned stock engine, the van is quite slow up hills (45-50 mph) and climbing steep grades should be avoided whenever possible. Please note that travel on or over the "grapevine" is strictly forbidden (the pass on the 5 freeway between LA and Bakersfield), so if you're traveling the coast, the 101 should be your route of choice.This is a manual (stick shift) vehicle. You must be able to proficiently pilot this vehicle in order to take possession at time or rental, and you should also be familiar with cab-over vehicle handling. Please DO NOT rent the van if you've never driven stick, or if you are out of practice or are unsure of your ability to drive a manual. These are not performance vehicles - they are vintage beach cruisers and must be treated with love & care.No smoking at all (of any kind) inside the van, and pets are also not allowed.

Meet your host, San-O Van Vintage Campers
Member since 2017
My wife Amanda and I are the owners / founders of a small women's surf & swimwear brand called SEEA. Since moving to Southern California in 2010, we've been surfing at San Onofre and exploring the Pacific coast, from Baja up to Big Sur. We got our first VW in 2014, the same year our daughter was born. Since then, restoring VW's has been my main passion and hobby. Westfalia campers are truly unique vehicles, and there's simply nothing I like better than cruising the coast with my family in a well-tuned vintage van. As a natural extension of our own surf & travel adventures, the decision to share that stoke with others is a joyous one - so we're excited to introduce SAN-O VAN as a fun, alternative platform for your surf centric coast explorations.
