STORY
Jason Gilbraith spent years researching off-grid and four-season camper van technology before building his own. He lived full-time out of his Mercedes Sprinter in Colorado, while running his drone videography company out of the van, and skiing the Rocky Mountains.
It was in February, at at a snowkiting event in Garrison, MN, that Ben Gleason first saw Jason’s van winter camping on the middle of a lake in -20 degrees actual temp. With Gilbraith’s technical expertise and Gleason’s business acumen, Vanna Adventure Vans was launched with the goal of building the next generation of camper vans and bringing the worlds most advanced off-grid technology to the mobility industry and camper van market.
Since then Vanna has grown their team, facilities, and began building vans for other industries as well with their MMU Medical Van and the MKC Mobile Recruitment Classroom.
