A Purpose-Built Van for The Salmonfly Project

We recently had the opportunity to partner with The Salmonfly Project — a nonprofit organization dedicated to conserving aquatic insects through science, education, and habitat restoration. Their mission supports the health of rivers and ecosystems across the Pacific Northwest, and we’re proud to play a small part in helping them stay mobile and effective in the field.

To support their work, we built them out a 2023 Ford Transit AWD with the Trail package and our Revolver layout — a simple, durable design that offers everything a family of three needs to live on the road for half the year. With minimal accessories and maximum usability, this van is made for the kind of travel that matters: field research, community outreach, and time spent deep in wild places.

We're inspired by what The Salmonfly Project is doing, and honored to build a van that helps them do it. Learn more about their mission and how you can support their work here.
