Dave Desaulniers

Started vanning when a friend said “Dave you can’t believe where I went this weekend, you just gotta go”.

That was too many years ago. My three kids were born into vanning the oldest being twenty-six and is on his second van and belongs to a van club made up of all the other kids who grew up vanning.

I attend anywhere from sixteen to twenty van jams a year along with the Council of Councils, six Council meetings and then there are club meetings. I am a member of the New England Van Council and a past NEVC board member. I am a member of Getaway Truckers I’ve help host many van jams. Currently six a year. I am chair person for New England Van Councils Truck-In for Tots. I have Co-Chaired the National Truck-In under some extremely difficult situations.

I have owned eighteen Ford vans, nine Dodge Vans, and three Chevy Vans. I have built several show vans including some featured in Truck-In magazine and Vanning Now.

Vanning is a way of life for my family as well as myself.
