Overview
Vagrid - named by our daughter for the larger than life personality in Harry Potter - is our beloved family van that was built out by Dave and Matt Vans out of Eagle, CO.
My wife and I have taken this to many trail races over the year and our daughter thinks camping in the van - even in our driveway - is the coolest. But as life gets more busy, we find that like a dog that needs to run, Vagrid needs someone to come over and help stretch his legs.
We oriented the bed to sleep front to back, rather than side to side, but sleep however suits you best. Sleeping the way we set it up, the bed is larger than a queen, but just shy of a king bed. My wife, young daughter and I are able to sleep very comfortably up top together. Before our lab passed, she slept below the bed against the wall as this is where she felt most comfortable. If you don't have a dog, you can easily set up a sleeping pad on the ground for a third person if the weather turns. One particularly stormy night, we had 4 people in the van and our dog! Two on the bed, and three on the floor with the dog.
Our goal is to let people get a taste the van life - especially if they are considering getting their own van - and see how they like it. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out.
We also offer a "Drop Camp" rental option in which we drive to a set location, get the camper set up for you, and you can use the van like a trailer without having to drive it. Please select this add on if you would like this service. We currently offer three locations (Buffalo Creek, Guanella Pass and Buena Vista /Salida). You get all the creature comforts of van life without having to drive it! Please feel free to contact us for more info
