How it all started

The TOURIG Story:
From "Big Red" to Big Dreams

TOURIG’s story began in 2001, though no one realized it at the time. The seeds were planted when Eric Miller and his business partner commissioned their first adventure vehicle, affectionately named “Big Red.” Designed as a mobile office, hotel room, and basecamp, Big Red wasn’t just a vehicle—it was a game-changer.

As sales agents in the Outdoor Industry, Eric and his fur-covered travel companions found the grind of endless flights and unfamiliar hotel rooms uninspiring. Big Red provided freedom, comfort, and a sense of home on the road. Its success led to the creation of a second rig, “Black Beauty,” in 2002—a testament to the undeniable benefits of life on four wheels.

Fast forward to 2014. Eric, now older, wiser, and with a family and even more furry companions in tow, felt the call for something more capable, modern, and adventure-ready. With a renewed entrepreneurial spirit and a clear vision, the concept for modern-day TOURIG was born.

Rugged beginnings, bold adventures.

Building vehicles that build communities.

In 2015, Eric reconnected with Paul Bulger, an old friend whose extensive maritime background brought precision, discipline, and invaluable expertise to the venture. Together, they laid the foundation for TOURIG—not just as a brand, but as a community dedicated to adventure, craftsmanship, and unparalleled quality.

The first-generation TOURIGs came to life in what became known as “The Shed in Ned.” This humble workshop in Nederland, Colorado, was more survivalist than state-of-the-art, with cold winds slicing through walls, snow trickling through the roof, and a few curious mice making guest appearances in the break room. But in those rugged beginnings, a vision was forged—a commitment to building vehicles that could withstand any condition and take their owners anywhere.

In 2016, TOURIG transitioned to its current home in Golden, Colorado, where every van is crafted with the same passion and purpose that sparked Big Red’s first engine roar.

TOURIG is the one-stop-shop for all your camper van needs.

As TOURIG's reputation for quality and craftsmanship grew, so did the demand—not just for custom-built vans, but also for service, maintenance, and upgrades on both TOURIG and non-TOURIG vehicles. In 2022, TOURIG launched its dedicated, state-of-the-art Service Center located right next to our production facility in Golden, Colorado. With a specialized team and purpose-built space, the TOURIG Service Center is designed to provide expert service, maintenance, and installations for camper vans of all kinds.
