Built by two designers as a thoughtful, capable adventure rig for long road trips, mountain biking, skiing, and real life on the road. It was built around the needs of a tall (6’ 3”), active owner, with Flarespace flares for a 6’7″ east-west bed, a high-clearance garage for mountain bikes, and a full kitchen setup for people who love to cook. With lithium power, solar, shore power, an oversized gasoline heater, roof rack, bike tray, swivel seats, and a modular interior, it’s a comfortable and functional van for extended travel without feeling overbuilt.
