Van vs. Trailer

“We’ve had the van for nearly five months now, and it’s already gotten more use than our Airstream did in the several years we owned it. That’s because now, in addition to a sweet camper, we also have a supremely practical vehicle that we use for other things than just camping trips. “

Best 2025 Camper Van

“Despite the reasonable price point, the brand still uses proven, premium materials throughout, like Havelock Wool insulation, 9-ply solid-core Baltic Birch plywood, and laminated composite wall and ceiling panels. Translation? They’re built for the long haul, and you’d be hard-pressed to find a better-built, more adaptable, and well-thought-out campervan for the money.”

THIS WAYFARER RIG MADE ME A VAN PERSON

“To be completely honest, I wasn’t expecting us to like the van as much as we did. I sort of assumed it would work for the trip, but we’d return the van and quickly forget about it. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Since we got back, we keep finding ourselves wishing we still had Walt.”

Loving Living Local

Wayfarer Vans’ Budget-Friendly Ford Transit Trail Leaves the Shop

“The elegant materials and high-quality installation hide the fact that this rad camper van is budget-friendly, eliminating one of the biggest barriers to camper van ownership—expense. This is a great way to invest in a brand new van, with the remaining budget going to a simpler, flexible interior.”

SIMPLE, HIGH QUALITY CAMPERS THAT ARE GETTING ATTENTION

“Compared to many options on the market, Wayfarer Vans’ conversions are economically priced and they complete their installs in just a few days. The conversion kits are 100% modular with all furniture able to be rearranged using a 9/16-in wrench and a few minutes.”

HONEST REVIEW OF WAYFARER VANS

“One of the key things about the company is that you can bring your own van… which means you might be able to find a good used van and really save some money. But with their conversions starting around $21,500 (excluding the van) you’re already dollars ahead.”
