This is Why We Built a 4x4 Camper Van for Alaska

Подробнее о видео

Ever wondered if you really need a 4x4 camper van for an Alaska road trip? In this video, we show you exactly why we built ours. This is the ultimate Alaskan adventure that pushes our custom Ford E-Series van to its limits and lets us experience the wild heart of the Last Frontier.
Join us as we drive from Palmer to the stunning coastal town of Valdez, Alaska. This isn't just any drive; we're tackling the legendary Thompson Pass in the snow, getting up close to the massive Matanuska Glacier, and finding breathtaking waterfalls like Bridal Veil Falls deep in Keystone Canyon.
But a true Alaska adventure is about more than just the drive. Our overlanding van is our key to unlocking experiences most people only dream of. We'll take you with us to go gold panning in a freezing river (and yes, we found some!), explore abandoned railroad tunnels with a wild history, and share a story about a close encounter with Alaskan wildlife that will have you on the edge of your seat.
If you're planning your own trip, looking for things to do in Valdez, or dreaming of building a camper van for your own adventures, this video is packed with inspiration and proof of what's possible.
What's the one Alaskan adventure you'd want to take our van on? Let us know in the comments!
