As adventure van owners ourselves, we know the frustration of buying gear sight-unseen, only to be let down by its quality or performance. While van expos offer a great chance to get hands-on with new products, many small but high-quality manufacturers lack the resources to attend every major event.

Calico Van bridges that gap. We personally vet the best accessories and bring them directly to the community—whether that’s at a regional expo or a pop-up showing at a local trailhead, brewery, or resort. We’re here to make sure you can see, touch, and trust your gear before it ever hits your van.

Our name is a nod to our 17-year-old calico fur baby, Wasabi, who brings endless energy and joy to our lives. While life on the road was not quite her style, her bold spirit remains the heart of everything we do, keeping us creative and grounded wherever our travels take us.
