Henry The Man Cave Camper

My name is Rick Schampers and for a bit less then two decades I’ve been preparing vehicles for overland travel and offroad racing.  In 2017 I started building Henry, which is probably my most well known project. It is a fully custom built Volvo Valp from 1968 that is completely unique and that has been featured in magazines all over the world. Besides building overland vehicles I also use them for what they’re intended. With 17 years of overlanding experience under the belt I’ve learned a fair amount of lessons when it comes to driving, recovery, navigating and repairs, some of which I’m looking forward to share with you at Nordic Expo
