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.

Isaac Dehart
Production Coordinator

Renaissance man, dad, and full-time operations wrangler. Connects the dots, demolishes baked goods, and tells wild stories we mostly believe.

Midwest nice, detail-obsessed, and always active. Loves backpacking, overlanding, and woodworking.

Gregg Harris

Designs clever gear, camps out of his truck, and sings like an engineer who secretly dreams of the stage.

Trails, Tails and Tales. This Colorado Trail thru-hiker also rescues dogs and has a passion for documentary filmmaking.

Emily Jones
Trail Guide

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.

Runs long trails, bakes amazing bread, and somehow learned to surf in Mexico without speaking Spanish.

Bald, gluten-free, and a master of moving things with a giant fork. Loves cooking with green chile and camping with his wife and dog.

Taylor Stubbs

Turns vans into adventure homes, runs caulk like a pro, and once backpacked through Africa. Somehow lost a pinky tip – definitely not on the job.
