VANNIN’ is a weird and wonderful look at the subculture of van enthusiasts who continue to keep the 1970s dream alive, from the Scooby Doo gang’s Mystery Wagon to dragon-bedecked, plush cruisers.

For more than 40 years, these wild and woolly van fans gather at the National Truck-In, also known as “The Van Nationals.” All manner of vans and the people who love them gather at the event, which is part car show, part camping trip, and all-around crazy party. Get to know various aspects of the vannin’ world, from “show-fields” to “puppy truckers”, “s.l.u.t. busses” and the “two percent” movement.

True love never dies. VANNIN’ is a fascinating and hilarious homage to subcultures in all of their strange and wild forms. The lushly carpeted shaggin’ wagon is alive and well in 2014. As fans say: “Vannin’ – it’s a way of life.”
