For those whose stories are written on the roads beneath their wheels,
On the trails beneath their boots,
And on the torrents beneath their paddles.

For those who were born with a desire to wander as much as they wonder,
To roam wherever there’s room,
And to leave behind the familiar in search of the unfamiliar.

For those who choose to live a life of their own invention over convention,
Who prefer free time to screen time,
And who see vast landscapes as ultimate escapes.

Get back to wild.

About Us

Invention > convention

Yama Vans is the manifestation of our desire to defy convention and live lives of our own invention. And we knew we weren’t alone. Now we make vans for people like us.
