I'm headed that way , I'm looking for a small rv or conversion van, also wanted to know how safe it is parking or camping on the big island? Looking for camping spots where u can park for long periods of time ? Any suggestions? & drum circles I bring like 7 djembe drums & love to share them around the circle any good spots?

That sounds more like Squatting than camping.

Registration is by weight, keep that in mind. Also a van will blend

The house-less ( homeless ) live in their vehicles here by the thousands.Just rent a room some where and buy locally a 4x4 SUV and good to go .
RVs are frowned upon here .

I've only ever seen one RV in Hawaii, and it never moves.

You can probably park a van at any number of Hawaii hippie communes or eco-hostels for a few bucks a day or work trade.

Yeah, maybe. He'd like the names of those places, no doubt.
IMO, it's a bad idea. The van would be an expensive and conspicuous albatross about the neck. Hawaii is not tolerant of squatting about in a house on wheels.
Better to go with a bike/motor bike and a tent.
