Who We Are

Wayfarer Vans exists to build simple, quality camper vans. Our vision is to be a leader in outdoor stewardship by guiding our community through education and adventure that collectively creates a positive impact on our wild spaces.


The idea for Wayfarer Vans was born from a soggy camping trip and came to life in a one-car garage. We’ve grown and evolved with over 1,000 Wayfarians on the road, but we’ll always be outdoor enthusiasts who want to make camping easier and more enjoyable for everyone.

Professional vendor wrangler. Will be carded until she’s 80. Don’t cross her, we think she’s a black belt, but we’re too scared to ask.

Builder & Installer

Makes rough things smooth – literally. Has driven across the country in a Prius twice and rode a bike coast-to-coast once. Chiller than a fall morning.

The man with the idea who started it all. Pretty good at bikes, not very good at basketball.

Emily Jones

Forgets to clock in, but never misses a good cup of coffee.  Hikes, backpacks, and keeps 70 houseplants alive. Also caused a car accident on an elephant in India – don’t ask.

Morgan Trzcienski
