Forget cramped flights and cookie-cutter hotels — today’s modern traveler is embracing freedom, flexibility, and design on the move. Whether it’s a cross-country adventure or a spontaneous weekend escape, van life is redefining how we experience the world.

Sender Vans, right here in Richmond, is at the forefront of this movement — transforming ordinary cargo vans into beautifully crafted, adventure-ready homes on wheels. With a balance of rugged utility and sleek design, each van becomes a personalized sanctuary built for the open road.

On Tuesday, September 24th, join Modern Richmond for an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of Sender Vans’ Scott’s Addition workshop. Founders Peter Guyre and Joey Darragh — seasoned travelers and outdoor enthusiasts — will share their story of building a company that blends craftsmanship, design, and the call of adventure.

Explore vans in every stage of transformation, from raw shells to fully finished builds, and see firsthand how thoughtful design turns small spaces into big experiences.

Whether you’re a design lover, travel enthusiast, or simply curious about the van life movement, this unforgettable evening will inspire you to dream bigger, travel farther, and roam freer.

Design. Adventure. Innovation. All in one night.
