Gear Bus

All of the thrills, some of the frills.

144/4-10

Whether it’s a road trip, ski weekend, or hockey tournament, the Gear Bus gets everyone and everything there with ease. Designed for families heading to the slopes, lake, or a weekend away, its modular interior adapts to any adventure. Inside, minimalist camping meets four-season comfort with a convertible Murphy bed, efficient heating, and an optional pop-top for extra sleeping space. No frills (ok, maybe a couple), just function — so you can hit the road without the hassle.

co-design with yama

State-of-the-art meets à la carte

The Gear Bus starts with a fully equipped, pre-engineered foundation you can trust. From there, we co-design every detail around you, dialing in function where it matters and finishes that feel distinctly yours. With Yama, you don’t have to choose between unproven one-offs and mass-produced builds that lack character or capability. You get a van engineered for reliability, shaped with genuine personality, and built for off-grid performance year-round.
