What is the history of vans?
In 1966, the Van Doren Rubber Company opened for business in Anaheim, CA. Since then, Vans has evolved beyond surf and skate sensibilities to draw influence from a Southern California culture that is as diverse as it is progressive.
What should I think about when building a van?
Think about how you intend to use your vehicle before starting a van build. If you have a job in the city and will be living out of your van, build a stealth camper. If you’re taking a long sabbatical from work, or planning to live off-grid for an extended period of time – build an adventure mobile.
Why is it illegal to Park a van on the street?
Most of the time these are local ordinances because neighborhoods have had problems with messy, aggressive, or just too many van dwellers taking over the streets. By following a few common tactics you can stealth camp comfortably, find legal areas to park, and avoid unwanted attention.
