Whether hiking, biking, camping or visiting state or national parks, lounging on the beach or climbing mountains, we’ve always been outdoor people.

We've called Minnesota home since we were young, long enough to consider these lakes and forests an old friend and know exactly what the seasons demand, from ice-out to first frost.

Our dream was to own a camper van that would let us explore now and travel through retirement, while helping others do the same when we're not on the road.

After an extraordinary trip through Utah's deserts and slot canyons in a rented camper van in Spring 2026, we decided to take the leap early, buying our first van from the very host we'd rented from on that trip.

We started Rugged Loon RV LLC with the goal of giving guests the freedom to travel anywhere the road leads, without giving up the comforts of home.
