What's happening
We’re kicking off the 2027 Adventure Van Expo Tour in San Juan Capistrano, May 1–2!
Come spend the weekend checking out some incredible vans, meeting builders and brands from across the industry, and hanging out with the van community. We’ll have 100+ vendors, open-house vans, live music, food trucks, camping, and our DIY Van Build Contest, featuring some seriously creative home-built rigs.
Whether you’re shopping for your next van, working on a build of your own, or just want to see what’s new, you’ll find everything from full van builds and suspension upgrades to roof racks, recovery gear, accessories, and plenty more.
San Juan Capistrano is one of our favorite places to kick off the season. Come explore the vans, meet the people behind the builds, grab some food, listen to some music, and spend the weekend with the Adventure Van Expo community.
