Van Go‘s, developed by Austin company Rabbit Foot Production Studios, last episode from season 2 “Surf’s Up Hotel” aired on 15 April 2022.
As for Brett’s own van life, he started taking his desires seriously when he upgraded a 1983 Vanagon into something he could actually reside in.
Brett spoke to Tribeza about his van project named “Chewy”. He described that he got Chewy off Craigslist, and it was in rough shape. He had bought it actually to turn into a living space. So, he got it and made it a bit nicer, hoping that he would live in it. He drove this around for two or three years building these out on the road in Chicago, Boulder, and Reno.

One can listen to Brett recall during interviews how he went from not knowing much about interior design and car parts to being a true artist. He apparently launched his company after family members and friends started enlisting his help for van projects.
Brett was working in Austin when his friend, Chad Werner, called from Los Angeles and asked Brett if he would be willing to make a “sizzle reel” to pitch. But when had no idea what this reel was, Chad flew down that night and came and filmed him and that is how Van Go was born.
