50th Van Nationals Custom Vans Lining Up for the Van Show Sterling CO National Truck In USA

We noticed the vans were moving towards the show field, so we hit record and started walking.
Filmed Friday 7/7/2023 at Logan County Fairgrounds in Sterling, CO during the 50th Van Nationals.
Sorry looks like there were a few small glitches on the download/upload at beginning/end but it is what it is! That's vannin'!

I can't believe this is still going on...i did this back in the 70's

[@Truesight333]

Keep on trucking always was a favorite time in my life going on Van runs every other weekend weekend, oh the good days, cruising in my 1976 Chevy Van

[@ricusserfontein1086]

Gives me goosebumps to watch this video. Been in love with vans my whole life. Nothing like this here in south africa 😢

[@jasonbrunskill7060]

this was my second van nationals , had a sensational time witnessing these historic heros , meeting vanners from all over the world.

[@VantasticTelevision]

For sure well said - historic heroes! So many great vans and interesting characters.

[@bigbruhvengaming923]

I love you guys for recording and posting ! Me and my grandfather haven’t been in a while n I’m working on my van now!

[@VantasticTelevision]

Only about 11 months til we do it all again in MA July 2024 for the 51st! Lots more footage coming as we find time to edit - Thanks for the comment!

only been to one Nats, way back in 2006, drove my 71 Econline org bubble top from California, went to see my sister shes in Newcastle PA then back to Idaho where i bought a home

[@briandrake9467]

I gotta shout out the 78 chevy short bed. I bought a 4x4 black with black interior. I thought I was smart paying 1,950 from a used car lot and selling it for 7,500, 5,550 profit. Turns out it was possibly worth 20k

[@seanhennessey5945]

Fantastic vans & great video .would love one of these beautiful vehicles

[@skapet]

Great video! 😃👍

[@lordvader5101]

I just got an 89 econoline. Gimme a couple years I'll be there.

[@FrontSeatDriver]

This is awesome!

[@maikindaiba]

👍👍👍💪

[@briandrake9467]

The first econoline remains a legend in my book, the early 70s big dodge vans also, timeless bodystyles.

[@VantasticTelevision]

No doubt those are some timeless crowd favorites!

[@CoolVanVideos]

Nice! 💪👍

[@VantasticTelevision]

Thanks ✌

[@donalddday7741]

know a few people and vans here

[@GadgetyMV]

That van at 0:55 , with the engine swap, has the intriguing license plate GOHEMI. Would like to know more.

[@VantasticTelevision]

That van is known as "The Innkeeper" and pretty sure it's a fresh 360. It's definitely on instagram @the_innkeeper_van -- but not sure about facebook since we don't do facebook.

[@GadgetyMV]

@@VantasticTelevision Thank you! Will do a search.

[@am_bam_iii6]

can you just go to one of these if you don't have a van? I would love to see these in person. Eventually id love to customize my own if I can ever figure out how lol

[@VantasticTelevision]

Typically, to get into the event you need a van. You could rent a van like a minivan or camper van or a UHaul van... or go with a friend who has a van. Doesn't need to be a show van or anything fancy - just a "van". Some events have a public show outside of the event area where people like you could check them all out in person. Rent a van and hit the 52nd Van Nationals in Albert Lea, MN July 2025. Lots of youtube videos with custom van ideas. Good luck & thanks for the comment!

[@RobertGarcia-y1c]

When is the next van show I Wana take my van ❤

[@VantasticTelevision]

Not sure where you're located, but if you google Thunder's Garage van events and look at the events page, they keep a pretty good list. Thanks for tuning in & commenting! Hope to see you at a van show someday! 52nd Van Nats is July 2025 in Albert Lea, MN. 52ndVanNationals.com
