Our 2 favorite campervan spots are Malaekahana Beach Campground and Camp Mokuleia. There is also hipcamp.com or dyrt.com for private camping sites. We share a list with our guests with 6 different options for parking at night along with extra info.
No. This is illegal and you will be either fined or asked to move by the police during the night. We thank you for following Hawaii laws and parking in a paid campground spot. There are plenty of options, plan ahead and book your campsites. Campgrounds also provide restrooms, showers, water, fire pits etc. and are an additional $20+/night.
YES! BOOK CAMPSITES IN ADVANCE! Also certain campgrounds require parking permits to be printed and placed in the campervan. Fedex and UPS are two places to print once on the island.
During the day charge your electronics using the ports in the front of the vehicle. During the night there are 4 usb ports on the sides of the bed headboard to use.
The 12v battery system runs internal items like the extra usb ports, the kitchen light, and even the cooler on those hot days when you need some extra help keeping it cool. It consists of two separate batteries, one primary (the manufactured battery) and a secondary battery (a battery added exclusively to power internal items when the engine isn’t running). The secondary battery charges when the vehicle is on and will not drain the primary battery when it is off. In order to use these amenities, guests are required to drive at least 30 minutes a day in order to charge up the secondary battery for usage.
If you plan on not driving as much, then you’ll need to use it cautiously and sparingly.
The bed sleeps 2. The dimensions are 50 in x 72 in (full size).
Heihei has a roof surfboard rack and straps with a lock. Depending on the size of your board it may fit in the roof cargo box on Pearl or Nalu. Some renters also have strapped their surfboard on top of the roof cargo box.
No. There are restrooms every 5-10 minutes drive on the island, and at the campgrounds. Less of a mess for guests.
Water is provided at most every park, they have taps alongside the showers that are easy to use. Empty the gray water jug into any sewer area.
The time can increase depending on how much the internal features are being used when the campervan engine is shut off. We recommend at least 30 minutes a day to charge up the secondary battery. There is a monitor in the campervan to let guests know when it is time to go out for a drive.
Guests must notify hosts immediately so the issue can be fixed as soon as possible.
All repairs are done at our location.
One of our more frequently asked questions.
Hawaii may be paradise, but unfortunately there are issues with theft. Follow these tips:
● Use the safe provided in the campervan to lock away valuables, but place them in there prior to arriving at the destination.
● Don’t leave items unattended anywhere.
● Close the curtains when the campervan is parked.
Either works. Bringing soft bags (like a backpack) will help open up storage for other items and/or provide more room in the vehicle. Both soft and hard bags will fit in the roof storage box.
Our campervans run on gasoline/petrol (regular, premium, or supreme).
The campervan either comes with a 7 gallon filled road shower on the roof or a portable shower.
There are free showers at all beach parks, and some campgrounds have showers and bathrooms that are private with hot water. Also there are private locations such as pools or gyms that sometimes allow restrooms/showers to be used for free or a small fee.
As long as the catch is not being sold no permit is needed. There are many places to fish and lots of seafood to catch, do some research prior to arrival for the best spots.
