Press
For Storytellers and Journalists
We love connecting with storytellers who share our passion for adventure, design, and making van life more accessible.
If you are working on a feature, review, podcast, or any kind of coverage, we would love to hear from you. We’re happy to share our story, from how two friends started building vans in a garage to how we’ve grown into a team of van lifers building high-quality, approachable vans for folks all over the country.

Film & Production
For Film, Docs, and Visual Stories
We love being part of creative projects that dig deeper than surface-level van life.
If you are working on a film, docuseries, YouTube feature, or visual story that explores themes like freedom, mobility, minimalism, or life on the road, we’re all in for hearing about it.
We are open to partnering with thoughtful media teams and independent creators who want to showcase the real side of van life: what it offers, what it demands, and why it matters. If you are looking for access to one of our vans, interviews with our team or customers, or behind-the-scenes on how we build, we would like to chat.

Partnerships
For Brands, Orgs, and Collaborators
We are always down to explore partnerships that make sense, for us, for our community, and for the road ahead.
That might look like a co-branded campaign, a long-term collab, or something entirely new. If you are building something meaningful around travel, design, freedom, or community, we would love to hear about it.
If you think we would be a good fit for your project, send us the what, why, and how. We’re open, curious, and always up for building something great.

Activations
Got Something Cool Happening?
Want a DM Van in the mix? We’re open to creative activations that align with our mission: a pop-up event, community gathering, outdoor festival, road tour, or something we haven’t thought of yet.
We show up where it makes sense. Where the energy is right, the vibe is grounded, and the connection feels real.
A few things we look for:
- Events or spaces that celebrate freedom, mobility, design, or outdoor living
- Opportunities to meet our community in person
- Room for storytelling, education, or hands-on interaction with our vans
If this sounds like a fit, tell us what you’re dreaming up. We can’t wait to hear more.

For Creators and Collaborations
We love collaborating with creators who live this lifestyle. The kind of people who show up with intention, tell real stories, and see the van as a tool for adventure, not just a cool backdrop (although we know it’s a cool backdrop, too).
Whether you’re a solo traveler, a couple on the road, or a filmmaker with something meaningful to share, we’re open to partnerships that feel authentic, grounded, and aligned. Bonus points if you’re already familiar with DM Vans and what we stand for.
