A little about us: we're adventurous people, married a little over four years now, and we're all about being outside — trails, dirt roads, and a good cup of coffee with a view. We're avid bikers who love being in the woods or the mountains, whether it's for a good run, ride, or hike.
We have a background in design and construction, so when we got Tami, we bought it completely empty and built the whole thing out ourselves. The dream started back when we were living in Nashville, looking for a way to escape the city on weekends. That dream turned into something bigger — in 2024, we took Tami on a two-month trip and lived out of it comfortably the entire time. So while it's perfect for a weekend, it's proven for a lot more than that.
Tami is built for the way we move. It holds four bikes or more, so bring your people and your gear. You can go off-grid for 4-5 days too, depending on how many dishes you're willing to let pile up.
Tami came from a desire for freedom from the city and a want to build memories together early in our marriage. We got both. Now we're in a season of life where we don't get to use Tami as much as we'd like, and instead of letting it sit, we'd rather someone else get out there and make their own memories with it.
So if you book Tami, we'd love to hear your story — where you're headed, what you're chasing, why this trip matters to you.
If you're looking for a van that's actually been lived in and built by people who use it the way you're about to, Tami's ready when you are.

RecommendationsAs the van is equipped with 2wd, we would suggest that Tami would be a great fit for people looking to go to the dirt roads of central or northern Wisconsin all the way up to the boundary waters in Minnesota. If you want to take it out for a bit longer we would even say going to Colorado or Montana would be a great option as well. We have upgraded the suspension which makes for a smooth ride on and off-road. The van is equipped with a Maxx Fan and two small fans at the bed, making it perfect for Spring, Summer, and Fall here in central Wisconsin and again out West!Other things to noteWe have built the van to accommodate up to 4 bikes, but if you are not into biking, there is plenty of storage for you to be able to fit blow up paddle boards if you decide that is a better option for your adventure!Our van comes with lots of over head and cabinet storage for all of your clothes, toiletries and any other accessories you may need for your adventure. We also installed a bug net at the sliding door to keep the bugs out. Oh how beautiful that is in the summer time!
