Our Team
Refuse to compromise
About us
As a globe-trotting serial tech entrepreneur and an ex-military founder of the largest road rally in Africa, we had been living and working remotely for years. Our own #VanLife ambitions were demanding because we know what the mobile lifestyle truly requires and what really works (and what doesn’t).
We discovered there’s no shortage of creative DIY possibilities and a few adventure-themed van options available, but everything required tradeoffs we simply weren’t willing to make. So when we couldn’t find a vehicle adequately equipped to meet our exacting specifications for superior connectivity, power and comfort, we refused to compromise—and Remote Vans was born.
