Dave & Matt Vans
36083-UL
Dave & Matt Vans is a lifestyle
vehicle company on a mission to
make vanlife accessible to everyone.
Its builds are incredibly
cost-effi cient, making them some
of the most affordable campervans
(if not the most affordable) on the
market. Building out exclusively
RAM ProMasters, these are " lifestyle
vehicles " designed for everything
from weekend adventures to
long-term travel, remote work, and
even to be an alternative housing
option for full-time living. These
aren't just " campervans for camping "
in the traditional sense; they
are vehicles equipped for a mobile
lifestyle with the key necessities
we're accustomed to at home.
The van market is booming and
changing. Dave & Matt Vans found
that of 2020 customers, 35.4%
were interested in living full-time
in their van, 31.8% were interested
in long-term adventures, 22% were
interested in weekend trips, and
9.3% were interested in " supporting
their work from the road. "
The Recreational Vehicle Owners'
Association counts campervans
as the fastest-growing segment in
the world of recreational vehicles,
logging 7,222 sold in 2020, up
70% from the year before. And the
46
trend isn't stopping soon. With
the affordable housing crisis,
especially in outdoor-rec towns,
vanlife can also be an answer to
living in the places we recreate.

RoosterWrap
35082-UL
Joel Braun, owner of JP Rooster,
developed the RoosterWrap cell
phone safety harness to provide
security for those who are active
in the outdoors. The RoosterWrap
has a simple and lightweight
design that allows active users to
carry their phone securely while
the stretch-to-use-cord keeps
the phone accessible. Users can
answer calls, check text messages,
and access music while keeping
the phone securely attached to
the body. The RoosterWrap also
turns the user's phone into a body
cam, allowing them to record their
adventures. In the woods, on the
water, or working out, the RoosterWrap
keeps your phone secure
and accessible. Each RoosterWrap
contains one harness and four sets
of adhesive-backed hooks. For
instant use, attach the adhesive
hooks to your phone/case and
wrap the adjustable elastic cord
around your torso. One size fi ts all.
