Hey everyone!
Today we’re so excited to announce our second Wayfarer Vans location in Reno Nevada!
So, Wayfarer Vans started 5 years ago and, from the beginning, we had aspirations to open up multiple locations. We just didn’t know it was going to happen this fast.
Morning everybody, we found a great camp spot. It’s early spring in Colorado. A handy little trowel … just for those emergencies.
So here we are, opening up our second location in one of the best adventure hubs in the country. So why did we choose Reno for our second location? Well, because Reno offers a great jumping off point to some of the best outdoor recreation and national parks in the country: Yosemite, Redwoods, Mount Shasta, the coast of California and Oregon, Death Valley … the list goes on and on.
Alright, so what does this mean for those of you on the West Coast looking to get a Wayfarer Van? Well, Reno is so much closer to you than Colorado. All of you from the Pacific Northwest to the tip of Southern California and everywhere in between: You’re within a day’s trip to Reno to pick up your brand new Wayfarer Van.
So just like our Colorado facility, you can pick up a full package from a great dealership that we’ve partnered with called Dolan Auto and we’ll have your Wayfarer Van finished for you prior for arrival so you can just toss in your bags, your gear and GET OUT OF THERE! Or, as always, bring us your own van and we’ll convert it for you Wayfarer Van style and get you outside and camping on the same day.
At Wayfarer Vans, it is our mission to provide simple, quality camper vans that introduce and inspire connections to the outdoors and community. Therefore, by opening up our Reno location, we are making the dream of adventure and exploration accessible to more of you!
… And then we also have an overarching task board at the bottom. Just to make sure we’re making all your vans pretty on time. We have a hangboard right behind you to make sure we stay strong when we’re gripping those tools.
Congratulations on your second location! If you are thinking about a third location for the future, we hope you will consider the Carolinas (NC/SC). We have mountains, the ocean, state and national parks, the White Water Center, and it would give you a presence in the Southeast. 🙂
I’m pleased you are closer. I live north (a little) of Portland and you’re right – it’s just a “hoot and a hollar’ ” away. I think your kits are the best in design and execution and commend you for your work. I’m also tickled that you’ve constructed kits for the Ford. Congratulations on your growth.
Any plans on working the Ford 250-350 Transit AWD into your program?
Hi Kim – great minds think alike. We added a Transit option to our lineup this year – it’s only available from our Colorado location right now though.
Looking to convert AWD Ford Transit 350 long wheel base, 148″ in Reno.
Hi Lewis – we haven’t introduced our Wilford conversion for the Transit to Reno just yet. Stay tuned though as our second location grows!
