Meet the Owners
BIG BEAR VANS: Artur and Anna
As RV enthusiasts and travel bloggers back in Europe, we traveled with our kids with a trailer and later a bus. After moving to the USA, we continued exploring RV culture with a fifth-wheel trailer and later our first camper van. Combining all the knowledge and experience from our travels around Europe and the USA in different types of RVs, we were eager to create a perfect compact van space for a family of 5. Here is the story of our personal camper van evolution and how we came up with the Santa Monica layout.
Our journey with campervans began with our first build in 2020—a 2011 Sprinter ambulance. We crafted this van with our own hands for family use, giving it a second life after it retired at 300,000 miles. It became not only our campervan but also a mobile office.
