Do you dream of hitting the open road in a one-of-a-kind vintage camper van? Outdoor apparel company Passenger is making that dream a reality with their latest giveaway, offering a fully-kitted-out 1996 Toyota HiAce “Little Spruce.” This adventure-ready rig, complete with a custom camper build-out by Wabi Works and loaded with premium camping gear, could be yours—all for sharing your favorite travel memory. Whether you’re a seasoned overlander or just someone who loves the thrill of the journey, this contest is your chance to start your next adventure in style.
How to Enter
To participate, contestants must submit a photo from a past adventure, along with a brief story about what made the experience special. Passenger is asking for your name, email, and that snapshot of your favorite outdoor moment to enter for the grand prize. On top of that, you can boost your chances by referring a friend and following @passengerclothing on Instagram—doing so enters you to win one of two $500 gift cards.
What You Could Win
The grand prize centerpiece is Little Spruce, a right-hand drive 1996 Toyota HiAce imported from Japan. Powered by a dependable 1KZ turbo diesel engine with full-time 4WD and equipped with three moonroofs, this vintage rig has just under 60,000 miles on it. While Little Spruce is 28 years old, Passenger promises it has plenty of life left in it—rattles and all. Passenger has invested in extensive maintenance, including a set of BF Goodrich KO2 tires, a new Bluetooth stereo, and a backup camera to keep this 28-year-old van road-ready.
The highlight, however, is the full camper conversion. Bellingham-based Wabi Works transformed the HiAce into a cozy home on wheels, complete with a full Dometic kitchen, custom rollout storage, and a Hest double mattress. The kitchen setup includes a JetBoil Genesis Basecamp stove, a Dometic CFX3 45-liter electric cooler, and two Dometic PLB40 power banks to keep everything running smoothly off the grid.
But that’s not all. The winner will also receive a bundle of top-notch gear, including a $500 Passenger gift card, a VSSL Nest Pour Over Kit and Java G25 Grinder, 12 issues of Advanture Magazine, and even a fridge stocked with Brewgooder beers to celebrate the van’s new chapter.

The Fine Print
The contest is open to U.S. residents aged 18 and older, with submissions closing at midnight on October 27th. The winner will be announced on Instagram on October 30th, with an all-expenses-paid trip to Passenger’s U.S. headquarters to collect the van. Ready to hit the road? This could be your chance.
