We caught up with Scott Coe to see what life is like owning a TOURIG. Scott lives in Boulder, CO, and takes his TOURIG on adventures that would make anyone envious.
Why did you want a TOURIG?
To us, the van was the ultimate adventure enabler: half cabin and half toy box. We’ve always been more about the road ahead than being tied to a stationary weekend retreat.
Taking a look at Scott’s Instagram, @ScottByBike, it’s clear why he needed a toy box. From riding bikes and rock climbing to fishing, these activities are staples for Scott, his family, and their dog, @chunkamoose. The TOURIG team took this active lifestyle into account when designing the build, ensuring they had everything they needed to get out and enjoy.

What made you choose TOURIG for your van buildout?
Their perspective on performance, practicality, and solution-focused design stood out. TOURIG builds vans that meet lifestyle goals rather than just adding flashy features. Everything has purpose, and the team brought an incredible amount of passion and skill to the process.
What do you use your TOURIG for?
It’s our magic carpet, our push to explore something new. Practically, it’s for weekend escapes and longer adventures when time allows. But it’s also become a talisman for the road less traveled. Sometimes we’ll find ourselves sharing a glass of wine in the driveway on a Wednesday evening or driving up a hill to watch a meteor shower from the roof.

What is the best place you’ve ever parked TOURIG and why?
That’s a tough one. There’s a little side road outside Yellowstone we’ve visited a few times. It’s tucked behind a resort, leading to a quiet creek in an idyllic valley. It feels like you’re truly at the end of the road.
But we’ve also had some great adventures poaching a church parking lot a mile from the ski lifts on a snowy night to get first chair.

What is the best feature of your TOURIG?
As low-tech as it sounds: the garage. While the systems, racks, and gadgets are great, the adaptable sleeping platform and space for bikes, paddleboards, or even an extra bed for a friend are unbeatable. It’s a functional and flexible space.
Where can people follow your adventures?
You can follow me on @ScottByBike. One of my goals this year is to post more of our adventures.
Any advice for people considering getting a TOURIG?
Dream big at first. Imagine all the adventures you could have. Then refine your vision and think about how your van can evolve with your lifestyle.
In the end, you’ll realize it’s the other way around: you evolve your lifestyle with your van.
