Why Visit Grit at the Overland Show?
This isn’t your typical RV show. It’s built for the overland community. And so are our vans.
Walk Through the Van
Open every cabinet. Test the shower space. Experience the layout instead of imagining it from photos.
Meet the Team
Talk directly with the people who manufacture these vans. We built it – so every question gets a real answer.
Compare Side by Side
See our Ford Transit AWD build next to other adventure vans and RVs – off-road campers, truck campers, and expedition trailers.
Perfect Fall Weather
Late October in the LA foothills. 75-80°F. Clear skies with the San Gabriel Mountains as a backdrop.
About Grit Overland Adventure Vans
Grit Overland is a factory-direct adventure van manufacturer based in Washougal, Washington. The Link 148 is our flagship build on the Ford Transit AWD platform. Key features include a north-south queen-plus bed (6’6″ length), full indoor/outdoor shower, 6’3″ standing height, and TIG-welded aluminum infrastructure – not the wood framing you’ll find in most RVs. We’re RVIA-certified and build every van in our own facility.
The Link 148 S2 starts at $177,950 and the S4 (with pop-top) starts at $185,950. Build time is typically 6-8 weeks. Factory-direct pricing – no dealer markup. That’s our 5 Star Experience for the 5 Billion Star Hotel.
