A Word From Our Sponsor
Dave & Matt Vans is a custom van outfitter based in Gypsum, CO that builds and rents ‘lifestyle vehicles’ featuring everything you need, and nothing you don’t. Building out exclusively RAM ProMaster vans, Dave & Matt Vans’ vehicles are designed to be used for everything from weekend adventures to long-term travel, to remote work, and even as an alternative housing option for full-time living. The team at Dave & Matt Vans works with each owner to build the vehicle that’s best suited for them — so the owner’s lifestyle defines how the vehicle is used, rather than the other way around.
Born out of the personal passion for vanlife shared by its co-founders, Dave Ramsay and Matt Felser, Dave & Matt Vans is on a mission to make vanlife accessible to everyone. Their high-quality, accessible lifestyle vehicles are built with the key necessities we’re accustomed to at home, and feature creative solutions for optimizing small spaces that don’t break the bank. Dave & Matt Vans’ builds are also incredibly cost efficient, making them some of most affordable campervans on the market.

After experiencing the unique freedom and opportunities that came from their own journeys with vanlife, Dave Ramsay and Matt Felser were driven to create a brand that could open the door for others to enjoy these same experiences. Knowing that high prices and lavish buildouts across the campervan market have been a barrier for many folks interested in vanlife, Dave & Matt Vans established their brand around a core mission of making vanlife accessible to everyone. They want to help ensure this lifestyle is attainable to all those who seek to experience it! In addition to prioritizing cost-efficient, practical builds to offer some of the most affordable campervans on the market, providing information and resources to help promote increased access to vanlife is also incredibly important to the Dave & Matt Vans team. They are thrilled to support Diversify Vanlife and the BIPOC Guide to Vanlife & The Outdoors!
