Narrative:
I was on short final to runway xx at ZZZ. I was broadcasting on unicom and the only other traffic was a robinson helicopter air taxiing on parallel taxiway. Just prior to landing the two vans that shuttle skydivers around (there were skydivers next to the approach end) entered the access road that circles close to the runway and were directly in my path. I pulled up; went over them and landed further down the runway. This is not the first time. The skydiving vans drive in the approach path; kicking up dust; without using a radio and without regard for any aircraft on final.
