VanLife Campers: The Story of a Family Business Revolutionizing VanLife

The beginning of an entrepreneurial journey

VanLife Campers Montreal is first and foremost the story of a personal project that turned into a captivating entrepreneurial journey. It all began when David Vachon, a renovation entrepreneur, decided to convert a van to travel with his partner.

What started as a dream of freedom quickly generated interest. Very quickly, the van caught people’s attention and raised many questions. David’s entrepreneurial instinct didn’t take long to recognize the opportunity ahead.

Within a few months, David transformed his workshop to focus entirely on van manufacturing. In the very first year, three vans were available for rental, right as the vanlife movement began gaining popularity in Quebec.

But beyond the economic aspect, David saw things differently. For him, a van needed to combine comfort and functionality, even during harsh Quebec winters.

The quality of these four-season insulated builds attracted customers ready to make a purchase.

A growing family business

Today, VanLife Campers has evolved while staying true to its core values.

Catherine Vachon, David’s sister, leads communications and marketing. Alongside them, Martin, an engineer, optimizes production processes, and François, sales director, plays a key role in positioning the company as a serious and credible player in the Class B RV manufacturing industry.

With a strong and growing team of 65 employees, the company has established itself as a leader in four-season Class B campervans in Quebec and across Canada.

In 2024, the company continues its expansion under the brand name VanLife Campers, strengthening its presence with the opening of a sales and service location in the Quebec City region, in addition to its Montreal location, to better serve a growing customer base.

A vision driven by innovation

Recently, VanLife Campers also partnered with Roulottes Rémillard to offer turnkey van models available for immediate purchase.

A concrete response to the growing demand for recreational vehicles that allow people to travel without waiting times.

While maintaining a strong family approach and earning customer trust, the company offers everyone the freedom to live adventure every day without compromise.
