In the world of golf, where passion meets precision, Charley Kiel stands out as a true maverick. As a golf rep, consultant, and product specialist, Charley’s office isn’t confined to four walls and a desk—it’s the open road, with his trusty Vandoit van as his mobile headquarters.
From the very beginning, Charley knew that traveling with a van full of pristine golf gear would present its own set of challenges. But where others saw obstacles, Charley saw opportunities for innovation. He turned to the engineering team at Vandoit with his concerns. Together, they crafted personalized solutions to hold and display his products in style.
For Charley, the Vandoit van isn’t just a vehicle—it’s a testament to the power of collaboration and ingenuity. It’s a reminder that with the right team by your side, anything is possible.
The Unique Business Approach
Charley’s journey into the world of golf wasn’t a conventional one. While many might envision the typical corporate office setting for someone in his line of work, Charley’s office on wheels reflects his unique approach to the game and life itself. With his unwavering dedication and boundless enthusiasm, he’s redefining what it means to be a golf rep.
Passion fuels Charley’s every move. From the crack of dawn, until the sun dips below the horizon, he’s putting in long hours to meet the demands of his clients. Whether it’s showcasing the latest golf equipment or offering expert advice on the course, Charley’s commitment to excellence shines through in everything he does.
But it’s not just about the work for Charley—it’s about the journey. His Vandoit van isn’t just a mode of transportation; it’s a symbol of freedom and adventure. Over the years, Charley has embarked on countless trips, each one a new chapter in his ongoing pursuit of greatness.
What sets Charley apart, however, is not just his love for the game or his tireless work ethic—it’s his unwavering sense of camaraderie and community. In the often solitary world of golf reps, Charley has found a true family in the Vandoit team. Even in the face of challenges, they’ve stood by him, offering support and encouragement every step of the way.
As Charley continues to crisscross the country in pursuit of his passion, one thing remains clear: he’s not just driving a van; he’s driving success, one fairway at a time. And with his unwavering determination and the support of his Vandoit family, the sky’s the limit for this golf rep on the go.
The allure of van life and the freedom it offers are undeniable. The idea of converting a plain cargo van into a cozy home on wheels is exciting and often romanticized. While DIY campervan conversions have their place, there are compelling reasons to consider purchasing a Vandoit campervan instead. Our commitment to high-quality materials, streamlined production, and serviceability sets us apart in the world of campervans. In this blog, we will explore why choosing a Vandoit campervan is a wise investment for those seeking a reliable and durable home on wheels.
Quality Materials Matter
One of the key factors that differentiates a Vandoit campervan from a DIY conversion is the use of high-quality materials. We take pride in selecting top-notch materials to ensure that our campervans stand the test of time. While DIY builders may opt for budget materials, Vandoit invests in quality while purchasing inventory in bulk to keep costs down. This commitment is reflected in the durability and overall reliability of their campervans and in the cost savings we pass on to our owners.
We use materials that are not only robust but also lightweight, ensuring that the van’s structural integrity is maintained while minimizing weight-related issues. From insulation to cabinetry and from flooring to appliances, we source and use materials that are known for their longevity and performance.
Streamlined Production
At Vandoit, we have adopted an assembly line-style approach to building campervans to maximize efficiency. Our streamlined production process means that your campervan is built with excellence and care. When you DIY a campervan, you may encounter a learning curve, potential mistakes, and costly revisions. In contrast, the Vandoit team of professionals ensures that every aspect of the build is done with precision, saving you time and stress.
DIY projects can drag on for months or even years, delaying your dreams of hitting the road. Our efficient production allows you to get on the road much sooner, experiencing the freedom and adventure of van life without the hassle and delays of a DIY project.
Long-Lasting and Durable
A Vandoit campervan is built to withstand the rigors of life on the road. The use of high-quality materials, meticulous craftsmanship, and thorough quality control checks result in a campervan that is not only long-lasting but incredibly durable. When you invest in a Vandoit campervan, you’re investing in a vehicle that can handle the miles, varied weather conditions, and constant use as a daily driver.
Many DIY conversions struggle to match the level of durability that a professionally built Vandoit campervan offers. The peace of mind that comes from knowing your campervan is built to last is invaluable, allowing you to focus on the adventures and experiences, not repairs and maintenance.
Serviceability and Support
Another advantage of choosing a Vandoit campervan is the ease of serviceability. Should you encounter any issues or need upgrades, the Vandoit team is equipped to provide professional service and support. DIY builders may find it challenging to locate specialized parts, skilled technicians, or adequate support for their unique builds.
Our commitment to our customers extends beyond the initial sale. We offer warranty coverage and expert assistance, ensuring that you have a reliable partner throughout your van life journey. This level of support can be hard to match with a DIY conversion.
While the idea of a DIY campervan conversion can be tempting, there are compelling reasons to choose a Vandoit campervan. We are committed to high-quality materials, streamlined production, durability, and serviceability, making us a wise investment for anyone seeking a reliable and long-lasting mobile home. With a Vandoit campervan, you can hit the road with confidence, knowing that you have a trusted companion for your adventures. So, why DIY when Vandoit offers you the keys to a world of hassle-free van life?
The soft hum of tires on the pavement, the twinkling lights of a makeshift Christmas tree, and the warmth of an Espar heater– for those living the vanlife, the holiday season takes on a unique charm. Celebrating Christmas on the road comes with its own set of challenges and joys, creating unforgettable memories that define the spirit of the season.
For many nomads, the road is not just a means of travel; it’s a way of life. Celebrating Christmas away from home doesn’t mean sacrificing the festive spirit; instead, it’s an opportunity to infuse the nomadic lifestyle with the magic of the season. Here are a few tips and tricks to make your holiday magical on the road!
Creating a Festive Compact Space
Decorating a small living space may seem challenging, but it’s an essential part of bringing the holiday cheer to the van. Think compact and multi-functional decorations that don’t compromise on festive vibes. Miniature Christmas trees, battery-operated string lights, and magnetic ornaments that won’t topple during a sharp turn become the go-to choices for vanlifers.
Tip: Utilize the van’s natural features – hang stockings on the rearview mirror or drape tinsel along the overhead storage compartments.
Cooking Up Christmas Magic
One of the joys of celebrating Christmas is the delicious feast that comes with it. In a van, the kitchen may be compact, but the possibilities are endless. Create a festive menu with easy-to-cook yet delightful dishes. One vanlifer, Marshall, shares his secret recipe for a perfect Christmas dinner on the road, “I roast a small chicken or prepare a hearty stew on my cooktop. Pair it with some warm apple cider, and you’ve got a feast fit for the season.”
Spreading Holiday Cheer on the Road
The road is a community, and celebrating Christmas is often a shared experience with fellow travelers. Organize a potluck dinner at a scenic stop, exchange small handmade gifts, or simply gather around a bonfire to share stories. “There’s something heartwarming about celebrating Christmas with strangers who become friends. It’s a reminder of the spirit of the season,” says Stacey, a solo vanlifer.
Reflecting on the True Spirit of Christmas
Beyond the twinkling lights and festive decorations, celebrating Christmas on the road offers a unique opportunity for reflection. Many vanlifers find solace in the simplicity of the holiday season away from the commercialized hustle and bustle. It’s a time to appreciate the beauty of a starry sky, the warmth of a cozy blanket, and the freedom of the open road.
As the vanlife community continues to grow, so does the tradition of celebrating Christmas on the road. It’s a reminder that home is not just a place; it’s a feeling created by the moments we share, the memories we make, and the people we meet along the way. So, whether you’re parked beside a snowy mountain or by the ocean waves, may your holidays be filled with the joy of the open road and the warmth of newfound friendships.
Be sure to post your vanlife holiday photos and tag @Vandoitco on Instagram! Merry Christmas from the Vandoit family!
In the world of adventure, few stories are as inspiring as the one of Jeremy McGhee, a trailblazer in both spirit and action. Jeremy, who is a wheelchair user, embarked on a remarkable 2.5-year journey with Vandoit, a company that specializes in crafting personalized campervans to meet the unique needs of its customers. This collaboration resulted in a campervan that not only facilitated Jeremy’s nomadic lifestyle but also played a pivotal role in his mission to enhance trail accessibility for other adaptive riders.
Jeremy highlights a game-changing key feature of the campervan: “The biggest innovation is an open floor plan so I can turn around comfortably and easily inside the van in my chair. This is tough when considering working around the wheelchair lift and everything I need.”
In the crafting of the Vandoit Campervan, a nod to Jeremy’s needs went beyond the open floor plan. From a wheelchair lift to an easily accessible set of rocker switches by the bed, every detail was carefully considered.
Moving beyond the living quarters, the attention to accessibility extended to every area of the campervan, including:
The Accessible Bathroom & Water System:
Because of the essential nature of cleanliness and personal hygiene, the inclusion of a fully accessible bathroom in the campervan was not just a convenience but a necessity. The bathroom was also built to double as an extra platform to help Jeremy climb into bed after a long day of travel, trail consulting, or surfing.
The Kitchen:
Let’s explore how the campervan’s design extends its thoughtful accommodations to another crucial space—the kitchen.
Innovations in the campervan’s water system showcase Vandoit’s dedication to enhancing Jeremy’s self-sufficiency on the road. A brand-new 22-gallon water tank not only keeps Jeremy stocked for several days but also streamlines the process of dealing with gray water. Unlike the previous system that required Jeremy to navigate around his bike and venture outside the van to access and refill water jugs, this upgraded design allows for greater convenience and independence. With a gray water tank situated beneath the van, the complexities of gray water disposal have been simplified to pulling a plug, marking a significant improvement in the overall functionality of Jeremy’s mobile living space.
Aluminum Extrusion Ramps for Wheelchair-Friendly Biking:
Jeremy is not just an advocate for trail accessibility: he’s an avid adventurer who loves hitting the biking trails. To facilitate his passion, Vandoit incorporated aluminum extrusion ramps into the campervan design. These ramps provide a transition for Jeremy to access his specially adapted bike, allowing him to explore the great outdoors with freedom. The ramps are made of extruded aluminum and simply hook to the edge of the gear slide for use and unhook for storage.
Adjustable Bed with a Touch of Innovation:
The innovation doesn’t stop there. Vandoit took customization to the next level with a hydraulic, queen size bed that raises and lowers with just the touch of a switch located inside and outside the van for easy transition. The bed not only provides comfort but also aids in pulling his bike inside. When not in use, the bed transforms into storage, creating space for other essentials. Jeremy even cleverly secures his surfboard underneath to free up floor space. These features not only enhance convenience but also ensure that Jeremy can easily navigate the living and storage space within the campervan, further empowering his independence on the road.
Beyond the innovative design features, Jeremy’s journey serves a broader purpose. As a fervent advocate for trail accessibility, he tirelessly works to dismantle barriers and create opportunities for individuals, irrespective of their physical abilities. The campervan, with its thoughtfully designed features, emerges as a symbol of inclusivity, proving that adventure knows no bounds.
Jeremy’s 2.5-year process with Vandoit stands as a testament to the power of innovation, determination, and the belief that everyone deserves the chance to explore and experience the world’s beauty. As Jeremy continues to pave the way for trail accessibility, his journey reminds us that the open road is meant to be traveled by all, breaking down barriers one adventure at a time.

If it’s autumn in Kansas City, there’s one thing on the minds of many sports enthusiasts: tailgating. Whether you’re a die-hard Chiefs fan or cheer on other fall sports, the right vehicle can make or break your tailgating experience. That’s where Vandoit vans come into play. These versatile vans are assembled right here in Kansas City. They are designed to be the ultimate support vehicle for all your tailgating and sports-related adventures. In this blog, we’ll explore why Vandoit Vans are the best choice for tailgating in the heart of America.
Local Pride and Sports Fandom
Kansas City is a city that lives and breathes sports, and there’s no denying that the Chiefs have our hearts. Vandoit, with their local roots, shares this passion for KC sports, making them the perfect choice for tailgating at Arrowhead Stadium. Don’t worry, these vans are not limited to just one team; they are the ideal support vehicle for all fall sports. Whether you’re cheering on your high school soccer team or following the Royals, Vandoit vans have you covered.
Tailgating Perfection
There are a few key features that every die-hard tailgater needs. Luckily for you, a Vandoit van includes these. Here are the top four must-haves for before, during, and after the game.
The Gear Slide: Vandoit vans are equipped with a game-changing feature (pun intended) – the gear slide. This durable slide-out platform allows you to cook up and serve delicious tailgating treats right at your vehicle. Imagine grilling burgers, preparing hot dogs, or even whipping up a batch of chili and putting out a full spread without needing to bring bulky folding tables.
Audio Systems: What’s a tailgate session without some great tunes? Vandoit features top-notch audio systems that can be seamlessly transitioned to a PA system for rallying and getting pumped up with your friends, playing your favorite music, or listening to pre-game analysis and play-by-plays from other games. (We know you gotta check on your Fantasy Football team…)
Thule Awning: Missouri weather can be unpredictable, especially in the Fall. That’s why Vandoit vans come equipped with a 10-foot expandable awning. This awning not only provides shade on those sunny days but also offers protection from rain or unexpected snowfall. It’s a game-changer when it comes to ensuring the comfort of you and your fellow fans. Plus, it creates the perfect outdoor living room for watching the game on the TV mounted inside your van!
Seating for up to 8: Vandoit vans can comfortably seat up to eight people, making them perfect for hauling all your friends and family to and from sporting events. No more worrying about fitting everyone into a cramped car or multiple vehicles. With a Vandoit van, everyone can travel together, creating camaraderie during the pre-pregame trip to the stadium!
A Strong Battery System: The van can power your television to watch the pregame events as well as keep up with scores while having a tailgating party. The van is also capable of powering any crockpot, electric grill, or even industrial urns for coffee or hot chocolate, giving you endless culinary opportunities!
There’s no better way to enjoy the fall season than with a Vandoit. These vans, born and raised in Kansas City, are more than just vehicles; they’re your companions. All features that are perfect for tailgating are fit for so many other activities as well. Vandoit Vans are tailor-made for sports and outdoor enthusiasts.

When it comes to outfitting your Vandoit campervan, there’s no shortage of ways to enhance your experience. From comfortable sleeping arrangements to functional kitchen setups, every aspect of your van should be designed with your adventure in mind. One often underestimated aspect, but incredibly important, is the lighting in your van. Whether you’re reading a book in bed, cooking a meal, or just creating the right ambiance, the right lighting can make a world of difference. In this blog, we’re going to explore the various lighting options available for your Vandoit campervan.
Classic Light Bars
Vandoit campervans come equipped with classic light bars that are both practical and stylish. These are essential for providing bright, even illumination in the main living area of your van. Whether you’re preparing a meal or hanging out with friends, these classic light bars will keep your space well-lit and welcoming.
Baja Designs Lights
Vandoit has taken their lighting game to the next level by incorporating Baja Designs lights into their campervans. The Baja Designs LP6 lights, mounted on the front bumper, provide exceptional illumination for night-time driving or off-roading. Additionally, there are two Squadron Pro hood cornering mounted lights for improved visibility during turns and maneuvers. For those who like to explore beyond paved roads, five LP9 roof-mounted lights ensure that you’re never left in the dark. Both the driver and passenger sides also feature two S1 work lights, perfect for setting up camp or doing some late-night maintenance. At the rear of the MOOV, two Squadron Pro lights up top and two S2 Sports Wide lights within the Backwoods rear bumper guarantee your surroundings are well-lit no matter where you roam.
With Vandoit’s Baja Designs lights, safety and adventure go hand in hand.
Zoned and Dimmable RBG Lighting
For those who want to take their lighting to the next level, Vandoit offers RGB million color lighting with a Czone touch screen controller*.

LED Accent and Can Lighting
Accent lighting can make your Vandoit campervan feel more like a cozy home on wheels. These lights not only add a touch of style to your space but also make it more functional. Finding that snack you crave in the middle of the night becomes a breeze with a gentle glow.
In addition to accent lighting, LED can lighting provides a more dispersed and general illumination for your van’s interior. These lights are perfect for creating a well-lit, inviting space where you can cook, work, or simply relax. With LED can lighting, your Vandoit campervan remains bright and functional, no matter the time of day.

Efficiently storing and accessing your gear is crucial for any campervan enthusiast.

The well-lit cargo space simplifies packing and unpacking, allowing you to maximize your outdoor adventure time.
Overall, the lighting options available for your Vandoit campervan are extensive and versatile.

So, choose the lighting options that suit your style and needs, and let your Vandoit campervan shine, both inside and out.
In addition to the fantastic qualities that set Vandoit campervans apart, there are a few more compelling reasons why you should consider choosing them for your van life adventure. Vandoit offers a range of services and features that make your journey easier and more enjoyable.
In-House Financing
Vandoit understands that investing in a campervan is a significant decision. To make it more accessible, they offer in-house financing options. This means you can hit the road in your dream campervan without the need for third-party lenders or complicated financing processes. Vandoit’s financing options are designed to cater to your specific needs, making the transition to van life more affordable and convenient.
Trade-Ins
Perhaps you already own a vehicle, or you have other valuable items like computers or watches that you’re willing to part with to fund your campervan adventure. Vandoit makes it easy by accepting trades on a wide range of vehicles and items. This means you can turn your existing assets into a down payment on a Vandoit campervan, simplifying the acquisition process.
Warranty Options
Just like any significant investment, you’ll want to protect your campervan. Vandoit offers warranties for purchase, providing you with peace of mind and added assurance. These warranties cover various components of your campervan, ensuring that you have reliable support in case unexpected issues arise. With Vandoit’s warranty options, you can rest easy knowing that your investment is safeguarded.
Certifications and NADA Book Listing
Vandoit’s commitment to quality and excellence is further demonstrated by their presence in the NADA Book and their RVIA certification. Being listed in the NADA Book is a testament to the value and reliability of Vandoit campervans, making them a trusted choice in the market. RVIA certification, on the other hand, signifies that their campervans meet industry standards and are built to the highest safety and quality specifications.
Certified Ford Upfitter
Vandoit’s status as a Certified Ford upfitter adds another layer of credibility to their campervans. This certification ensures that they adhere to Ford’s rigorous standards for quality and safety when modifying their vehicles. It’s a mark of quality that reflects Vandoit’s commitment to providing top-tier campervans.
In conclusion, choosing a Vandoit campervan over a DIY build-out is a wise decision.

With Vandoit, you’re not just investing in a campervan; you’re investing in a hassle-free, high-quality, and durable mobile home that will support your adventures for years to come. Say goodbye to the complexities of DIY and embrace the freedom and peace of mind that a Vandoit campervan offers. Your road less traveled has never looked more inviting.
In 2022, Vandoit faced an exciting challenge that would lead to a significant transformation in their camper van offerings. Ford approached the company with a tall order: build out the new Transit Trail, the ultimate two-person campervan. Up until that point, Vandoit had primarily focused on upfitting the Ford Transit passenger chassis, which offered numerous perks of its own. However, with the new Transit Trail or Transit Cargo chassis, Vandoit saw a world of possibilities and a chance to take their camper van creations to the next level.
The Addition of Cargo Vans to A Passenger Lineup
For years, Vandoit had been building campervans on the Ford Transit Passenger chassis, and this choice came with several benefits. These passenger vans provided extra seating, rear climate control, and rear passenger safety, making them ideal for larger groups or families looking to hit the road in comfort. These features made them a popular choice for Vandoit and their customers.
However, with the Ford Transit Trail project, it was time to expand focus to include cargo vans. The Vandoit engineering team understood that cargo vans brought unique advantages to the table, especially when designing campervans for one- or two-person travel. With the absence of rear passenger safety as a primary concern, they could explore innovative features that catered to the needs and desires of solo or couple travelers.
The Birth of the MOOV
The team took inspiration from the requests made by van owners over the years and integrated many of these into the new Transit Trail camper van, aptly named the MOOV. This remarkable creation introduced a host of new features and finishes, all aimed at enhancing the one- or two-person travel experience. Some of the standout features included:
Drawbridge-Style Bed: This ingenious design allowed for side-to-side sleeping, while also providing front-to-rear storage and walking access. It maximized space and comfort, transforming the interior into a cozy sanctuary on wheels.
Indoor Shower: A luxury rarely found in camper vans, the MOOV included an indoor shower, offering travelers the convenience of staying clean and refreshed, even in the great outdoors.
Increased Water Capacity: For extended journeys, a generous water supply is essential. The MOOV addressed this need by increasing water capacity, ensuring that travelers could stay hydrated and maintain their hygiene without worries.
Dimmable Zoned RGB Lighting: Customizable lighting was introduced to set the mood, whether it was a cozy evening in the van or a vibrant atmosphere for socializing with fellow adventurers.
Expanded Power Options: The MOOV provided a wide range of power options to support everything from weekend getaways to off-grid living. This ensured that no matter where your adventures took you, you could count on reliable power sources.
Cargo Vans: A Canvas for Innovation
One of the primary reasons behind Vandoit’s transition to cargo vans was the enhanced space they offered. Cargo vans provide an expansive, open canvas for the installation of Vandoit’s modular components. This space allowed for more creativity and versatility in creating campervans that catered to the specific needs of travelers. Whether it was custom storage solutions or kitchen setups, cargo vans provided a flexible foundation for Vandoit’s designs.
Additionally, the innovative aluminum frame found in cargo vans was designed for a wide range of business and recreational adventures. It ensured durability, making it a perfect choice for those looking to explore rugged terrains and embark on thrilling journeys.
The Rep Van and the Introduction of Vandoit’s Commercial Division
Vandoit is not just a specialist in the realm of camper vans. In fact, the company has been a leading provider of commercial vans for decades, with a rich history in commercial van and vehicle upfitting that dates back to the founding of a dealership in 1947. They continued to expand their commercial offerings through a fleet rental business in more recent years. In all this time, after upfitting numerous vehicles, they have honed their expertise in designing reliable, modular, multipurpose vehicles that can go anywhere and do anything.
In early 2023, Vandoit launched a dedicated commercial division. The Missouri-based brand showcased a sleek, professional, and durable “Rep Van” at the Summer Outdoor Retailer in Salt Lake City, Utah. This commercial van was designed to accommodate the needs of traveling company representatives in any industry.
The commercial division was a natural progression for Vandoit, as they had been building vans for “commercial” purposes since their inception in 2017. However, the young company dedicated most of its resources to custom camper vans during the Covid-19 pandemic when the campervan market skyrocketed.
The industry has only grown since. But with a more streamlined production process, Vandoit is able and excited to move forward with the expansion into commercial builds like the Rep Van. Vandoit’s parent company, Kline Van & Specialty Rental, planted the seeds of the business uses that its commercial vans would serve well. And it naturally aided in the creation of the Rep Van floorplan.
Vandoit’s journey from building campervans to venturing into the commercial division showcases their dedication to innovation and their ability to adapt to the evolving needs of their customers. Whether you seek the comfort of a passenger van or the functionality of a cargo or commercial van, Vandoit has a solution that caters to your specific travel and business requirements. The road to adventure and success is wide open, and Vandoit is here to help you explore it.
In the world of van life, innovation never ceases to amaze us. Vandoit has once again pushed the boundaries of comfort and versatility with their all-new MOOV model, featuring the ingenious drawbridge bed. For those who dream of embarking on unforgettable road trips while experiencing the comforts of home, the MOOV’s drawbridge bed is a game-changer that makes your van life experience even more extraordinary.
A Bed Like No Other
The drawbridge bed is unlike any other sleeping arrangement you’ve encountered in the world of camper vans. Consisting of two platforms affixed to either side of the van’s interior, this innovative design utilizes gas struts for a controlled descent. When it’s time to catch some Z’s, these platforms fold down seamlessly to create a full-size bed platform. The result is a spacious and comfortable sleeping space that allows you to sleep side by side, all while saving precious space within the main living area of your van.
A Space-Saving Marvel
The drawbridge bed’s genius lies in its ability to maximize the functionality of your van’s interior. When the bed is folded up, it opens up front-to-back walking and storage space within the van. This means no more awkwardly navigating around a fixed bed or feeling cramped in a confined living area. You get the freedom to move about comfortably, making your van life experience even more enjoyable.
One of the notable advantages of the drawbridge bed is its seamless integration with the all-new indoor shower, which is an exciting addition to the MOOV model. With the bed folded up, you can access the shower easily and conveniently. This is a game-changer for those who appreciate the luxury of a warm shower in the great outdoors.
Versatility at Its Best
Vandoit knows that every adventurer has unique preferences and requirements. That’s why the MOOV model doesn’t just stop at the drawbridge bed. The vehicle also offers classic choices such as the queen-size hydraulic lift bed and Murphy-style beds, as seen in the LIV and DO models. This level of customization allows you to tailor your van’s interior to your specific lifestyle and needs. Whether you prefer the spaciousness of the drawbridge bed or the convenience of a hydraulic lift bed, the MOOV model has got you covered. It’s all about ensuring that your van life adventure is as comfortable and versatile as possible.
Vandoit’s MOOV model and its drawbridge bed represent a new era in van life innovation. By maximizing interior space and offering various bed options, Vandoit caters to the needs and desires of every adventurer. The drawbridge bed, with its controlled descent and space-saving design, not only offers a comfortable place to rest your head but also opens up new possibilities for convenient living on the road.
If you’re considering a van life adventure, the MOOV model and its drawbridge bed are certainly worth a tour to see one in person! With Vandoit’s commitment to innovation, your journey is bound to be filled with comfort and convenience, making every moment on the road easier than ever before.
