Outside Van

At Outside Van, we create vehicles that enable people to experience a life of freedom, joy, and connection. Our vehicles are purpose-built and enable you to travel off-grid, find your joy, with the freedom too take the road less traveled. Outside Van was founded in 2007 by Erik Ekman, who began a new type of van living so he could go deep into nature, bike, snowboard, and windsurf wherever his travels brought him. His adventurous lifestyle has guided us as we've evolved into a flourishing business, attracting some of the industry's most creative, productive and experienced experts to our headquarters in Oregon. Each van is a result of superior workmanship: custom-built by hand, with every detail authentic to the individual customer. We use premium, high-end components to ensure our products are durable and reliable. Snow, dirt, water and road tested, each van is ready to handle the most extreme conditions. Our team continues to push the industry and evolve as a company so we can provide the most exceptional and dependable vehicles. Our motivation comes from people who are adventurous, joyful, loving, and free. Every day our tribe grows as more people find inspiration by unplugging and recharging. Outside Van is here to inspire you to create your own version of life. With complexity being stripped away, it leaves us space to connect to what's most important in life. This is your vehicle to freedom, so you can experience what we've found: life is simple in a van. See you on the outside.
