Colorado’s DM Vans to Be Featured in National “Viewpoint with Dennis Quaid” Adventure Van Special

DM Vans, a Western Slope-based RV manufacturer, will be spotlighted in an upcoming episode of Viewpoint with Dennis Quaid titled “The Rise of the Adventure Van.” 

The short-form documentary will premiere on public television beginning June 9, with a national commercial airing June 18 and full segment release on DM Vans’ YouTube channel on June 20.

Founded in Eagle County in 2018, DM Vans designs and manufactures its signature Lifestyle Vehicle from its Rifle, Colorado facility. 

The company has grown to support over 15 local jobs and maintains supplier partnerships across Glenwood Springs, Grand Junction and Denver. 

The documentary highlights the company’s impact on the outdoor recreation economy by producing affordable, road-ready vans that drive tourism dollars to Colorado’s public lands, mountain towns and trailheads. 

“Partnering with Viewpoint with Dennis Quaid puts Colorado craftsmanship on a national platform while spotlighting the outdoor economy that fuels our state,” Matt Felser, president of DM Vans, said in a press release. 

Featured stories include Breckenridge-based hiker and skier Kia Grant, who lives full-time in her van to mitigate housing costs in resort towns; Eagle residents Chris and Lauren Gallegos, who use their van to reconnect their children with nature; and retiree Sharon Hanson, who is traveling across Colorado and beyond in her DM Van.

DM Vans’ manufacturing process centers around converting RAM ProMasters into custom camper vans designed to withstand mountain conditions. 

The company’s emphasis on affordability includes 20-year RV financing options, helping first-time buyers and budget-conscious travelers access the van lifestyle. 

More than 650 DM Vans are currently on the road, many owned by Colorado residents who contribute to tourism and local economies through van-based travel.

“We take great pride in building high quality camper vans at a great price backed by an incredible service team,” Felser added.

Viewpoint with Dennis Quaid is known for its educational programming focused on innovation, leadership and social trends. The series airs on public-television stations and across major cable networks, reaching millions of viewers nationwide.
