We offer a free comprehensive guide to basic vehicle maintenance that can be found here!

This is a very difficult question to have a defined answer for, but here’s some of the biggest cost factors you should consider.
Your vehicle’s mpg
Will you be staying at a “pay to camp” campsite or BLM land?
Are you traveling with kids?
Will you be traveling close to where you live, or making longer excursions?
Starting with these factors can help you narrow down what pricing will look like for the trips you want to take.

A van generally takes a third of the amount of time to build an expedition vehicle. The reason for this is that a van already has a shell, enclosed, sometimes with windows, and many of the things needed for a build.
Whereas an expedition vehicle (not to say a van couldn't be an expedition vehicle!) is a raw chassis...basically needing everything to make it functional and usable.

A fully loaded expedition truck, while not going to win any races, handle quite admirably on the highway. This comes from the weight as well as lower speeds that are associated with them. The weight keeps the vehicle planted and firm on the pavement. With most of our vehicles updated suspension plays the biggest role in aiding drive-ability.
