Find your escape with the Cascade — a thoughtfully converted RAM ProMaster City that proves you don't need a big van for a big adventure. Compact enough to park anywhere, fuel-efficient at up to 28 mpg highway, and stocked with everything you need to leave the city behind.
Based in Alexandria, VA, the Cascade is minutes from Reagan National Airport and one stop from the Huntington Metro — making it one of the most accessible campervan pickups in the Washington DC area. From here, Shenandoah is 90 minutes, the Blue Ridge is two hours, and the Red Wing Roots music festival at Natural Chimneys is only 2.5-hour drive down I-81.

No hookups needed. Roof-mounted solar, house battery, and a 5-gallon fresh water tank keep you fully self-sufficient at tent sites, RV sites, or a friend's driveway. The bench folds flat into a cozy bed, the portable cooktop handles real meals, and the 12V cooler/freezer keeps your provisions cold all weekend.

Perfect for: festival camping, brewery and winery tours, hiking basecamp, weekend escapes, and anyone who wants the van life experience without the learning curve. Since it is off-grid capable (does not require any hookups) and is less than 18 feet long, you can upgrade your camping experience without having to shell out for an expensive RV site.

Pickup is at Huntington Metro (free) or at local airports and train stations for an additional fee. We walk you through everything before you leave — takes about 30 minutes.

Dogs welcome.
