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.
