Favorite Vans From the Road

We’ve seen a ton of awesome adventure mobiles in our travels. Here are some of our favorite vans as well as a couple other cool rigs.

We saw this van parked in Ocean City, Maryland out in front of K-Coast Surf Shop!

Spotted this sweet ride outside the New Orleans Museum of Art!

All the way from Alaska. We saw it in Jonathan Dickinson State Park, Florida.

Adventuremobiles8We actually got to RIDE in this van! It was part of the TV show Cookscraps!

adventureSpotted this rig in Florence, Oregon! The truck is original and came with the camper. Year? 1965!

Van on?! Van on!

adventure1Swooooooon. What’s not to love? Cyle (pronounced Kyle) put a Subaru engine into this baby and is planning on making it a 4×4. Not enough words to describe this awesome van.

Both of these Toyota Dreamwheels we spotted just a few feet away from each other in Austin, Texas. Haven’t stopped thinking about them since we saw them!

New Orleans is good for lots more than just food and jazz and partying. It also has a sweet selection of adventure mobiles like this one here.

We went to grab beers at The Wedge at Foundation in Asheville one day and this perfect little bug specimen was right there. Check out the visor!

Our 1998 Toyota 4Runner. We’ve taken out the back seats and made a makeshift bed in the back, added a hitch with a box and have so far travelled in it from Asheville, North Carolina all the way to Portland, Oregon and down to Las Vegas where it eventually stranded us.

We’re currently traveling in our 2018 Dodge Ram Promaster City with a Wayfarer Van conversion kit!

Seen any good adventuremobiles lately? We’d love to know what it was and where!
