story:
Becca & Anthony are a couple who saw an opportunity. Living in one of the most beautiful area of the US, Portland, they’re surrounded by camping, hiking and breathtaking mountains. They knew renting a camper van (or two) would be a hit up in the PNW and they came to Boho to build out the idea.
Carmen & Pippa are the result of this opportunity, and they’re available to rent directly from Becca & Anthony in Portland, OR (link at the bottom).
The interior of the vans were designed by Becca, who is the owner and designer of Beck Studio. Her expertise certainly shows! All the finishes are completely custom - throw blankets, pillows, tile, cabinet pulls, upholstery and even the flooring - it’s all unique and hand picked by Becca.
Carmen was designed for three travelers, and features a front “bench” seat for three people to safely travel on their adventures. She also has a convertible sofa, meaning there’s plenty of room to sleep the entire van manifest.
Pippa was designed for two travelers, with two captain’s chairs up front, including a passenger swivel chair that can spin to hang out in the living space.
Both vans run 400W of solar powering 315ah of house battery bank. Victron components monitor the electronics, and a 2000W Multiplus/Inverter includes a shore power hookup. The house bank also charges will driving via the Victron Orion DC-DC Isolator.
The van is finished with red cedar paneling, butcher block counters, and two lighting zones to ensure the mood is always right.
Becca & Anthony arrived in Tempe, AZ to pick up their vans with enough family members for each seat (five!). They spent four days caravanning through Joshua Tree NPS, Alabama Hills, and more on their way back to Portland. A nice test experience for their many renters to come!
