As adventure van owners, we understand the risk of purchasing upgrades based solely on digital marketing. While industry expos provide a valuable opportunity to inspect gear in person, many high-quality manufacturers lack the resources to attend every event. This creates a gap between what is advertised and how a product actually performs in the field.

The concept for Calico Van was born during a visit to Banff National Park in Canada after we visited Backland Expedition Gear. Seeing their operation and products firsthand gave us the confidence to invest in their equipment—an experience we believe should be accessible to every van owner.

Calico Van serves as a bridge between premium manufacturers and adventure van owners. We rigorously vet industry-leading products to ensure they meet our standards for performance and durability. Our goal is to eliminate the guesswork from the outfitting process, allowing you to invest with confidence and focus on the road ahead.
