In time for British Columbia’s camping season, a Burnaby man has launched a company that offers a way for adventurers to get exploring faster.
Mike Plumb, owner of Dusk n Dawn Adventure Co, was inspired to create the company by his baby blue 1981 Westphalia van named Dewberry. To make exploring B.C.'s wildlife more accessible, Dusk n Dawn aims to give a hassle-free camping experience by renting out their all-in-one vehicles dubbed Coast Roamer and Coast Hopper. While not a Westphalia, the transportation comes in the form of all-new 2021 Subaru Crosstreks. Plumb calls it "Airbnb in a car."
“Dusk n Dawn is all about the journey being as important as the destination without needing high-tech gear. We strive to provide the best assurance towards safe, simple, and stress-free travel,” said Plumb. “I can’t wait to hear of others’ adventures in our vehicles.”
The Subaru Crosstreks come with Apple CarPlay, Google Maps GPS, a backup camera and heated seats. The package deal also includes:
- Four season rooftop tent
- Integrated LED light strips and headlamps provided.
- 60 second set up and tear down.
- Solar-chargeable battery pack to recharge phones and small devices.
- Jackery Explorer 500 power station that charges as you drive.
- A refrigerated cooler that runs off the battery station.
- Customized extending kitchen with stove, sink, and food prep space.
- All kitchen and cooking necessities including plates, bowls, cups, cutlery, and more.
- Optional add-ons include bike racks and roof cargo containers for additional storage.
In a media release, Plumb explained he is captivated by van life and the ability to travel freely and nimbly while experiencing the best sights British Columbia has to offer.
