Erin & Abigail Craddock founded Coastal Van Co after their first shared campervan experience was less than satisfactory. Their enthusiasm quickly dwindled when they arrived at the rental company and were handed the keys to their home for the week. Contrary to their expectations to enjoy a minimalistic yet high-quality campervan experience, the van was cheaply built, the interior uncomfortable, and the vehicle was outdated and unreliable – with an obnoxious exterior.
Even the essentials came at an additional cost and what was advertised online was a far stretch from reality.
Erin & Abigail’s unmet expectations allowed them to realize something. Their inspiration from this experience - combined with their knowledge as avid adventurers - qualified them to launch their own brand and provide the all-inclusive campervan experience they both desired.
And with that realization, Coastal Van Co was born.

Both adventure enthusiasts, Erin & Abigail Craddock, grew up in Kentucky and have since relocated to Florida. They are passionate outdoor explorers and coincidentally, sisters-in-law as well. As hikers, backpackers and mountaineers, their experience in recreational activities provides real-life expertise for their Campervan brand. Erin and her husband spent a year in their fifth-wheel, working remotely while raising their two sons. Abigail has invested many weekends outdoors, camping and exploring her way across Florida.
Together the Founders have hiked 30 states - including North Carolina, Maine, Utah, California, Washington, and Arizona - as well as taking their exploration abroad - checking Banff, Tanzania, Zanzibar and Bali off their international bucket lists.
With their experience and expertise, they have begun to curate a fleet of luxury campervans ready for travel, exploration and adventure.
All our models are designed in-house to provide every luxury necessity for your camping experience.
