Cozy private camper with hookups, budget base for NYC, bus 2 blocks away

Welcome to this private and cozy camper/RV. Everything you need is here in this unique space. The RV is hooked up to electric so you will always have power for lights, outlets, air conditioning, etc. The RV is parked behind a private house in a convenient and suburban area. ALDI supermarket is 5-minute walk away. Direct bus to NYC 2 blocks away. No parties, events, or smoking of any kind -- strictly enforced.

This RV is a converted Sprinter van. It is 22 feet long and about 7 feet wide. You will be able to stand up comfortably in the galley area if you are 6 feet tall or shorter. In the bathroom and the bed area, you may not be able to stand up straight depending on your height. The space is like a small studio apartment -- lots of features packed into a small space! Please keep in mind, however, that this is a vehicle and not a house/apartment. There are some differences from what a house/apartment can provide. Please read the entire listing to understand what we are talking about.

You will have exclusive and private access to the RV during your stay. This unit is NOT shared with anyone. You will be the only person using it.

Two blocks away there is NJ Transit Bus No. 115 that takes you to Port Authority Bus Terminal in New York City (Midtown Manhattan). The ride takes about 60 minutes and costs $8 per person. You can also drive easily around this area and there is plenty of parking. EWR airport is only about 20 minutes away. Walking/jogging in the neighborhood is also very easy.

There is good WiFi provided and the login info is in the listing.

There is no TV in the RV, but you can use your tablet or phone with WiFi for entertainment.

Please note that the water heater will give you warm water but not hot water. Please understand this before booking. The heater will heat the water to about 20 degrees above the ambient temperature, but it will not be hot.

There is a good AC that keeps the RV cool.

There is a good furnace that keeps the RV warm.

During the winter months (November through March), we treat the water system with non-toxic antifreeze. You can use water for washing/showering, but you should not drink it.

You must park on the street if you have a car. The parking is relatively easy to find. Just pay attention to the street cleaning signs. You cannot block the driveway with your car.

You are not allowed to drive the RV. If you want to book it and drive it, it is listed on outdoorsy for that purpose. Contact us and we will let you know how to book that (it costs more for the drivable option).

A few things to know before you book:

To keep our homes safe and welcoming for everyone, all guests complete a quick verification before arrival — we’ll reach out by email or text with the simple steps once you’ve booked, so please complete it before you travel.

Guests are also asked to either purchase a damage waiver or leave a refundable security deposit, and to sign a short rental agreement. A valid credit or debit card is required; if you’re paying us directly by card, we’ll ask for a photo of the front and back and a signed credit card authorization form, and the name on the reservation, card, and ID should match. Please also have a valid, current government-issued ID ready — if it’s expired we won’t be able to approve the stay, and no refund applies in that case. Additional charges may apply.

Have any questions? Just reach out — we’re always happy to help!

BOOKING REQUIREMENTS: All guests must complete a signed rental agreement, ID verification, security deposit, and credit card authorization prior to check-in.
Guests are responsible for bagging all garbage and placing the bags in the bins outside the building, or at the curb, as instructed by the host (host will communicate with guest regarding this).

If your unit has a thermostat and the thermostat is locked, do not tamper with it or try to break open the lock. Doing so is called vandalism and is highly inappropriate. We will withhold your security deposit if you do this and possible submit for more damages depending on the situation.

Also, guests must leave the apartment in the condition they found it (e.g. no leftover food, nothing that creates a need for excessive or deep cleaning). Please wash all dishes that you use, remove food that you`ve brought in, and discard all trash. Our cleaning fee is lower than most and it covers basic cleaning tasks like washing of linens and towels, vacuuming, etc. The cleaning fee does not cover deep cleaning, excessive kitchen and bathroom cleaning, etc. Thanks for your cooperation!

If you check out late, there will be a $100 per hour fee for each hour or fraction of an hour that you stay beyond the check out time.

If you smoke, use incense, use drugs of any kind (including marijuana and cannabis) anywhere on the property including outside areas and common areas, we will charge a $300 fee. If there are damages related to smoking or drug use, we will charge fees in addition to this $300.
