Escape Campervans, provider of affordable, adventure-focused camper van rentals in North America, has officially ceased operations after nearly two decades and more than 600 brightly painted vans on the road, according to a recent release.
For years, Escape helped turn first-time road-trippers into lifelong van-lifers with its Mavericks, Mesas, Del Mars, Santa Cruz conversions and Jeep rentals. The company enabled countless national-park loops, Pacific Coast Highway cruises and cross-country journeys.
“There is exciting news amid the goodbye,” the Escape team shared in a letter posted to escapecampervans.com. “We have camper vans for sale — and nothing would make us happier than seeing them begin their next chapter with the community that loved them.”
Approximately 400 well-maintained, road-ready camper vans from the remaining fleet are now available to the public through weekly online auctions and “Buy It Now” listings on bidadoo, in partnership with Hilco Global Capital Solutions, the partners handling the fleet dispersal.
Highlights of the Dispersal Sale:
- Five models at every price point (Mavericks, Mesas, Santa Cruz, Jeeps and the premium AWD Del Mar)
- Many feature Escape’s hand-painted artwork (some with removable vinyl wraps) and optional rooftop sleepers.
- Late-model vehicles with low to moderate mileage; all fully inspected with detailed reports
- Weekly Tuesday auctions, with most lots offered at no reserve
- New inventory added each week; once a van sells, it’s gone for good.

“From the bottom of our hearts: thank you,” the Escape team wrote. “It has been the greatest privilege to be part of your life-long memories. Let the adventures continue!”
