In a significant move that reshapes the landscape of adventure and luxury in the van industry, Rogue Van Company has achieved a remarkable milestone. The company’s flagship adventure van, the RC-1, has been sold for an astounding $625,000, establishing itself as the most expensive campervan ever to be sold. This record-breaking transaction firmly positions Rogue Van Company as an innovator and leader in the van-building sector.
“Selling the RC-1 at this price point is not just a win for Rogue Van Company, but a statement to the entire industry,” stated Santiago Fileta, CEO of Rogue Van Company. “We have demonstrated that adventure vans are more than just vehicles; they are platforms for innovation, exquisite craftsmanship, and captivating storytelling. This sale elevates the standards and motivates us to continue pushing the boundaries, reminding us why we call ourselves ‘Rogue.'”

From its audacious price point to its groundbreaking features that challenge traditional standards, the RC-1 has redefined the possibilities of what an adventure van can be. Conceived to push limits, the RC-1 embodies the bold vision that has become a signature of Rogue Van Company.
Breaking Barriers in Van Building
The RC-1’s features include:
- Performance & Exterior Innovations: Equipped with an Owl Van’s Curry-built Dana 60 rear axle featuring an Eaton E Locker and 4:10 gears, the RC-1 boasts a fully custom off-road suspension system with Van Compass X Falcon nitrogen piggyback shocks and inverted nitrogen rally struts, both offering spring rate adjustment. Its running assembly is engineered to accommodate 37-inch Toyo tires, along with a complete Snap-On cordless hand-tool kit for tackling any job, and a custom rooftop wireless davit for lifting electric bikes.
- Luxury Interior Amenities: The RC-1’s interior is a showcase of meticulous craftsmanship, featuring hand-milled walnut river pour countertops, tables, and upper cabinet faces. It includes a dry bar, wine fridge, espresso machine, and a thoughtfully designed entertainment center with full satellite connectivity, an onboard computer, and three separate displays, including a hidden touchscreen monitor behind a flip-out table at the sliding door.
- Spa-Like Bathroom: The custom shower features a Corian pan with a French drain, complemented by a dry flush toilet and full steam room capabilities, offering unparalleled luxury on the go.
