Stories, often romanticized, have shaped our collective wanderlust since the earliest days of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More recent generations have gotten their nomad on in RVs and motor homes, with the past several years having seen the numbers of RVers increase exponentially. So much so that one of the most common complaints is about overcrowded parks and campgrounds. Try booking a couple nights at a national park over the summer months and you\u2019ll see for yourself. Between that and often-poor construction of even the best brand RVs, and you might just feel like sticking your head into the dark water tank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enter Michael \u201cMikey\u201d Rudman, owner of Tommy Camper Vans in Phoenix, who has a solution: custom-built camper vans in which you can get off the grid and into the wilds in a self-contained, reliable rig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/13123808\/Tommy2-scaled.jpg\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"1024\"  height=\"703\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"\"  class=\"wp-image-16726 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/13123808\/Tommy2-1024x703.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/13123808\/Tommy2-1024x703.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/13123808\/Tommy2-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/13123808\/Tommy2-768x527.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/13123808\/Tommy2-1536x1055.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/13123808\/Tommy2-2048x1406.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/13123808\/Tommy2-380x261.jpg 380w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/13123808\/Tommy2-800x549.jpg 800w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/13123808\/Tommy2-1160x796.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/13123808\/Tommy2-80x55.jpg 80w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/13123808\/Tommy2-scaled.jpg 2560w\" ><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI listened to customers about what they wanted over the years,\u201d says Rudman, who started Tommy Camper Vans \u2014 named for his brother \u2014 three years ago and has since sold around 30 vans per month. \u201cI heard about maintenance problems, long waits for parts, storage problems, durability problems, parking concerns \u2026 all with bigger RVs.

To address the issue of leaking roofs, for example, which many RVers experience, Rudman created a roof rack that doesn\u2019t puncture the roof and then attaches the solar panels to the roof rack. Capsules extend the sleeping area to 75 inches, and all vans include both interior and exterior showers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The vans are compact compared to a larger RV, true, but the well-designed interior space provides road living with fewer hassles.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur clients are free spirits,\u201d Rudman says. \u201cMost of their time is spent outside the van. They want to wake up on the beach with awesome views, not plugged in at an RV park. They are active people who want to get out hiking. There are so many wonderful destinations that are only two or three hours away \u2026 Sedona, the Grand Canyon, Payson, Prescott.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tommy Camper Vans will both finance and build the van for you, with prices starting around $35k for a slightly used van and an additional $29k for the build out. If you\u2019re someone who prefers to try before you buy, Rudman just started a rental division that currently offers turbo diesel vehicles starting at $189 per night. Finding your own corner of night sky paradise? That\u2019s up to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.TommyCamperVans.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.TommyCamperVans.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This story appeared in the AZ Foothills Home &amp; Design, Best Places to Live issue.
