Nomad Drive Cars and Vehicle Parts

Demo build 25361176 · checked

This is a table of Nomad Drive cars and vehicle parts: the two vehicles you can drive and every part in the game files, one row each, grouped by where the part goes. Each row gives the game's own name, the values the files hold for the radiator and the repair tools, and the kinds of stops where the part turns up.

Quick answer

The demo has two vehicles you can drive: the Hippie Van you start with, and the bigger C-Class RV, which you have to find on the road. Every other row in the table is a part you fit to one of them, from the engine and battery to doors, lights and bumpers. The table is read from the demo build shown above; when the full game launches on October 20, 2026, it switches to the full game's files.

The developers have said Early Access adds more vehicles, plus a ladder and roof rack for every RV (July 30 and September 22, 2026). Our Nomad Drive roadmap tracks what is planned.

Where to find the C-Class RV

The C-Class RV only turns up at three kinds of stop: gas stations, radio stations and watch towers. You cannot buy it. Going by the game's loot tables, roughly one gas station in three has one, about one radio station in five, and about one watch tower in ten. Your world seed decides which stops have one, so the same seed always puts it in the same place. Our Nomad Drive seeds table works out where the nearest one is for seeds players have shared.

The developers raised its chance in the June 21, 2026 demo update. Once you find one, our guide to getting the bigger RV covers moving in.

The Hippie Van you start with

Every new game puts a Hippie Van at the starter house: all four of the house's loot tables place one. It starts without the parts it needs to drive, and the "Build your first RV!" objective walks you through fitting them; our RV guide lists each step. A radio station can hold a second Hippie Van, about one in twenty.

Parts named after a vehicle, such as Hippie Van Headlight or C-Class Front Bumper, are listed under Body parts. The Engine, Battery and Radiator are in the Engine bay group, with the Generator.

How to read the table

Names are the game's own English names. Tire and Hippie Van Door appear more than once because the game has separate parts with the same name. The groups are this site's grouping, not the game's.

Holds is how much the radiator takes, and Liquids lists what can go in it: water or coolant. There is no coolant item to find, so water is what you use; our coolant guide explains why. Repairs is how much one use of a repair tool restores: the Battery Charger puts back 65 of a battery's charge, and our battery guide covers when to charge and when to replace.

Found at lists the kinds of stops whose loot tables include the part. It is read from the game code of the build named under the title, not from screenshots. A part in a stop's table does not mean every stop of that kind has one: each stop uses one of a few loot tables, each spawn spot picks one item from its list, and your world seed decides both. An empty cell means no stop's loot table lists the part; it says nothing about whether the part comes fitted to a vehicle. Chests lists the parts that common and rare chests can give. Everything that is not a vehicle part is in our Nomad Drive items table.

Guide links to our walkthrough where we have one: the C-Class RV and the Hippie Van to the RV guide, the Battery and the Battery Charger to the battery guide, and the Radiator to the coolant guide. The table does not cover how the vehicles drive, such as speed or fuel use, and it gives no map positions.
