Welcome to Talking Points, a series that looks at what makes certain products worth talking about, brought to you by Gear Patrol Studios.
While the journey to build your own campervan can feel like a rite of passage, it’s safe to say it’s not for everyone. Nevertheless, there’s something about camping with all the conveniences of home, and settling into a comfortable homebase-on-wheels, that makes vanlife so appealing.
So for those who want to test-drive ‘life on the road’ before fully making the switch, or lack the driveway space for a permanent van — listen up.

The Backstory
Travellers Autobarn: Simple, Streamlined Campervan Rentals
Founded in Sydney, Australia, by a team of ex-backpackers, Travellers Autobarn has been perfecting the camper van rental experience for three decades. In 2019, the company brought its iconic rentals stateside, operating out of locations in Los Angeles, Las Vegas and San Francisco; with additional drop off points in New Zealand, Tokyo and more.
Travellers Autobarn has streamlined its approach to make it even easier for new (and experienced) campers, hikers and gearheads to find the wheels they need. The result? A sleek suite of campervans that make it easy to plan your adventure and accommodate your entire crew.
