Zack and Matt wanted to drive the So Cal Backcountry discovery route, which crosses the state from south-to-north on the eastern side of California! Zack drove the F150 Powerboost FX4, which we will cover in another video. Matt and his wife wanted to van overland in one of those super sick looking Mercedes Sprinters so we got "The Sundance Kid" made by Off Highway Vans, and rented through Warner Sprinters of Salt Lake City, Utah. Since these vans are so individualized, a traditional review wouldn't help. Instead, we decided to make a video showing the 10 lessons we learned on our first Van Overlanding trip, so you can help plan your trip, or even your own Van purchase/build, even better.

Thanks to Off Highway Vans for providing the Van!
