Having a car on Oahu was very essential to get around the island. The van was equipped with basic essentials and the shower/sink was very convenient. Like previous reviewers, I definitely recommend booking a camp ground in advance as options are fairly limited (Malaekahana was our favorite). The van also does not have A/C so just keep that in mind! Overall Tiago was a great host and we had a great time experiencing van life in Hawaii.
