Remote Vans Made the 2026 Inc. 5000: One of the Fastest-Growing Private Companies in America.
We’ve got some INCREDIBLE news. Remote Vans made the 2026 Inc. 5000, one of the fastest-growing private companies in America and honestly, we’re still taking it in. This isn’t the kind of announcement we planned for when we started building vans in Cincinnati back in 2021. We were focused on one thing: building the best Class B adventure van the market had ever seen. The recognition followed on its own. 205th overall out of 5,000. 1st in Cincinnati. 3rd in Automotive. 4th in Ohio.
Where This Started
Daryn Hillhouse and Tony Alexander founded Remote Vans on a pretty simple belief: the adventure van market deserved better. Back in 2021, in an unused brewery in Cincinnati, the two of them started building adventure vans. There was no pool of experienced van builders to lean on, no blueprint to follow. There was just a lot of hard work and determination to build the best Class B, Adventure Van in the industry.
At the time, if you were a serious traveler looking for a premium Class B van, your options were a bit limited. Power systems that weren’t good enough, connectivity treated as an afterthought, interiors designed for a showroom instead of a life on the road and pricing that felt like you were never quite getting a fair deal.
That’s what we set out to fix. Industry-leading power through the MoPoWa™ system, Starlink built in from day one, the patented Vanhalla™ Seat, the world’s first 90-degree swing two-person sleeper and the Cyber Shower®, the industry’s first recirculating shower in a production van.
Every van is built at our 30,000 sq ft facility in Cincinnati, Ohio, and every one is RVIA accredited. That growth got a boost from The O.H.I.O. Fund too, the Cincinnati-based fund that backs high-growth Ohio companies and their support helped us scale production and get into new markets.
What the Inc. 5000 Means
The Inc. 5000 recognizes the fastest-growing private companies in America, ranked by revenue growth over a three-year period. Making this list puts Remote Vans among some of the most dynamic companies in the country.
For a company building premium adventure vans in Cincinnati and selling through a growing dealer network, this feels like proof the market responded to what we were building, and faster than we expected.
Who This Belongs To
If we’re being honest, this honor doesn’t just belong to us.
It belongs to the Rolling Nomads: the owners across the country who took a chance on a young company, drove these vans into places that took our breath away, and came back wanting more. The couples who traded hotel rooms for mountain mornings. The retirees finally living the adventures they’d been planning for decades and the remote workers who figured out the best office in the world doesn’t have a fixed address.
It belongs to our dealer partners, who represent this brand every day with more integrity and it belongs to our team here in Cincinnati, who show up and build these vans to an exceptionally high standard.
What Comes Next
We’re not stopping here. Our dealer network is growing, our community is growing and with Andrew Cooley now on board as President, we’re better positioned than ever to keep building on this.
To every Rolling Nomad who’s been part of this story: thank you, from all of us.
The road ahead’s going to be a good one.
