Bloomington, MN
The "Surprise" was a daily driver that was used for recreation and camping lifestyle enthusiast. In the summer it was camped out in San Francisco, San Diego Beaches, Hanging out in the West Coast campgrounds and Parks. The winter months it was hauling an iceboat, 2 ATV's, or bass boat, hiding out in the Utah and Colorado woods collecting trophies.
When she wasn't used for outdoor fun. She was a homestead for major events like EDC, LifeIsBeautiful, Coachella and other large festivals its production team worked. Great vehicle to park on the urban streets inconspicuously without hassle. Five Storage Lockers were installed as entrance to house Fishing equipment, Hunting gear, canned food, or anything else needed for an awesome outdoors experience.
Even with its interior being a work in progress the Box Truck/Van Life Nomadic lifestyle attracted publications and documentary outfits nationwide. Regional and local publications have featured the lifestyle.
