"Electro-Lux" - the off-grid supervan
About this campervanrental
Located in Santa Barbara, this charming campervan for $130 per night is a great option for your next trip. Super close to the airport - land and go! Driving in? Park your car here, no problem.
ZAP! POWER! Electro-Lux is LOADED with off-grid energy capacity for laptops, phones, lighting, and recharges via both solar and the vehicle's alternator (@60amps).
Electro-Lux drives like a car and gets similar fuel economy:) Described in Ford's original reviews as a "well behaved whale", this quiet diesel dreamliner handles beautifully, is maximum fun, with minimum fuss.

- Festival patrons: try a Uhaul trailer, no joke, temps and cleanup are much better!

WHEN YOU'RE DONE?

- Wash n dry all dishes, silverware, tupperware. (cleaning fee doesn't cover this)

- Cleaning fee for 1 week+ is $150, please add while renting. (vans are tall and huge)
- Cleaning fee for shorter durations is variable - please let me know on your last day's rental via text what I should plan for regarding cleaning. *Exterior wash is $50 if it's visibly dirty, but please don't wash it yourself.
*Please do not wash the van yourself. DIY car wash brushes often scratch paint, and tap water leaves spots that etch paint.
*IDLING THE VAN: requires monitoring the Exhaust Filter Status: if the Exhaust filter is full, you MUST MANUALLY initiate a cleaning cycle, otherwise the filter becomes blocked and uncleanable. $1000s of dollars of damage. So, please monitor this status if the van is ever idling, and initiate a cleaning if full. Instructions are in the van.
