New and unique to this build is a floor to ceiling closet with shelving and a center cabinet housing both a full-size recycling and trash bin. Bor’s 2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 170 includes our traditional Outside Van touches like our 3-panel bed system with a latex foam mattress, robust 630Ah lithium batteries, and an extensive galley kitchen space. Each department back at our shop put an immense about of time, thought, precision, and care into building the newest Bearfoot Theory rig. Guests placed their chairs under the covered big top for the unveiling of Kristen Bor’s newest van, built by us. There was lots of oohing, awing, and a buzz of overall excitement in the air. You could feel the energy rise while watching DIY rigs, tricked out vans, elevated camper trucks, and everything in between roll into our collective space. The following day Open Roads Van Fest officially kicked off! Attendees started to roll in as early as 9:00 am.
There’s something uniquely cozy about sharing a warm meal amongst friends with fire-pits glowing as dusk creeps in across an expansive field flanked by a perimeter of tall, old trees.
Jon’s Chili for a Tired Team brought us all back to life. With flags staked, the pop-up tent expanded, van awnings deployed, and personal tents assembled, we all sat down to our first group dinner. Their contribution was without a doubt a game-changer for us and attendees. One aspect that absolutely enhanced the overall welcoming nature of our booth was the incredible lounge space outfitted by our friends at KUMA Outdoor Gear! We couldn’t be more appreciative of their generosity in outfitting our booth with several propane fire-pits, padded chairs, loveseats, and pillows.

With 450 miles behind us plus crossing over into Mountain Daylight Time our team was tired but eager to roll into camp and set up our temporary home. Already connected around a love of vans and the outdoors, we easily felt like old friends with everyone new to us. It was great to make connections before the event even started and to excitedly chat with the pair when crossing paths during the event. During this stop, we ran into a pair headed to Open Roads! Community you meet while out and about is so special. Tails, Par Four, Immersion, and Stingray towing our event trailer made the seven-hour drive stopping briefly for lunch in Baker City. Our team of seven left in four vans from Portland early Thursday morning.
