We are a couple of nomads on a perpetual road trip across America. Ever since we founded Roam Lab back in 2015, we have searched for wonderful, wild, and weird gems to share and experience.

Our Rigs

1986 Dodge Ram 3500 camping in California

Dodgy I

We started our journey in a 1986 Ram 3500 commuter van named Dodgy. It was offered to us by a friend after hearing us bemoan the cost of campers. Despite elaborate renovation plans, a year after starting our journey in Dodgy, we agreed that we loved the lifestyle but it was time to shell out for a serious rig.

Dodgy II: The Truckening

Dodgy II is a 2015 Ram 3500 Truck that was meant for someone else but languished in a lot when the intended buyer fell through. Not many people look for a 1-ton, 4-wheel drive, gas tradesman truck in electric blue…but we were. We started this chapter with Dodgy II and a truck bed shell. But our plans were much bigger.

1970 Avion C11

After a year of research, we knew what we wanted and were monitoring Craigslist. When a 1970 Avion truck camper was listed for sale in Florida, we jumped in the truck and took off. The last year and a half has been spent in progressive improvements to the loved but aged camper.

SOME INSIGHTS

Our Passions & Pursuits

Destinations

With so much to explore, it can be hard to pick a destination. Fortunately, we have zig-zagged across the US to collect some of the most inspiring locations to share with all our friends online.

Trail & Ultra Running Race Reports

In the course of our travels, we have embraced trail running as a way to go further. And we’ve fount that we are pretty good at it. We share our experience competing at the ultra distance and the amazing views along the way.

DIY Renovation Tutorials

We don’t just renovate our camper ourselves, we share how we do it. Follow along for the research, process, and outcomes as we customize our 1970 Avion C11 truck camper and 2015 Ram 3500 truck.

Campfire Cooking

We all have to eat, but it can be hard to get a hot meal in the middle of the wilderness. Fortunately, we have a wide range of experience from the practical to the culinary when it comes to campfire cooking.

Our Adventures

Living on the road has opened us to so many opportunities for adventure. We fill our days with hiking, offroading, campfire cooking, and most any activity to get us outside and close to nature. Browse our recommendations by activity or location.
