Topo the Transit Campervan

About this RV

Welcome to camping in comfort, style, and efficiency. Grab your boots and let Topo show you the way to the trailhead for your next far-flung adventure! Or maybe just to the nearest lakeshore to relax and enjoy the fresh air and sunshine. :) We’ve been car-camping and backpacking with our two kiddos since they were wee, and have learned so much along the way. Sean has mad construction skills, I am mildly obsessed with fabrics and colors. As professional actors, we are used to thinking outside the box. We built Topo by hand and with lots of love; it’s the little things that add up. Thoughtfully designed to seat and sleep four, this van offers cozy, spacious comfort without the need for a pop-top roof. No canvas walls here—just a solid, weatherproof interior that makes every night restful, even during a storm. Cook up delicious meals with the two-burner induction cooktop and clean up easily in the extra-deep sink, complete with hot and cold water from a generous 24-gallon freshwater tank. The fridge is big for van standards, complete with an icebox, and you'll find ample cupboard space for all your food and supplies. Need more space? There's room in the "garage"! Equipped with a top-of-the-line electrical system powered by 600Ah of lithium batteries that recharge via solar, shore power, or while driving, you’ll have reliable power no matter where you roam. And yes, there’s even a toilet onboard for those moments when a public bathroom trek just isn’t speaking to you. Wanna travel in colder weather? Just hook up to shore power, and you've got an electric heater to keep you cozy and indoor water tanks to keep the water flowing. At just under 20 feet long, this van can park in standard parking spots. Many iconic National Park roads and campsites don't allow vehicles over 20 feet! (Glacier National Park’s Going-to-the-Sun Road or some campsites at Yellowstone, for example). The ease of parking is a game-changer, especially in busy tourist spots. Swivel seats for the driver, passenger, and bench seat offer multiple configurations, from a cozy dinette booth to a laid-back couch perfect for movie nights. Not traveling with four? It’s an ideal setup for two adventurers too, providing even more room for clothes, gear, or that guitar you wanna bring.
