These last few summers, we’ve had many opportunities to hit up a wide variety of Camper Van Expos in the U.S.. These events gave us the amazing chance to finally meet some of our neighbouring camper van builders in the south, as well as showcase our work alongside theirs. This year in particular, we spent a little more time in the Pacific North West, attending the Adventure Van Expo in Hood River, OR (just east of Portland) in June, as well as both the Enumclaw, WA expo and the Lake Tahoe, CA expo in September.
Our September shows were a week apart, so we got to enjoy traveling from Washington to California at a slower pace. After the Washington show, we ventured west and jumped onto the Oregon Coast Highway, where we got to take in many of its scenic pullouts. We were all in agreement that it’s definitely one of those drives that everyone should check off their bucket list at some point in their life. As we drove into southern Oregon to check out the sand dunes of that region, we were lucky enough to make some friends who were kind enough to let us enjoy some time on the dunes with them. From there, we began to head south east and made our way toward Lake Tahoe, taking a break to check out Mount Shasta once we crossed into California. With the clouds laying low, we couldn’t make out the summit of the 14,180′ mountain, but the drive up to the 7,840′ parking lot at the Old Ski Bowl was worth the drive.
While we didn’t have much time to grab any photos at the expos themselves, we thoroughly enjoyed our trips to and from them, and managed to snap a few images here and there during our journeys. Here are a few we snapped as we made our way through Washington, Oregon, and California:
