Dreams to Reality
Every van owner has drawn out their dream van in a notebook, on a napkin, or even on the back of a trail map. Before production, our design team works with our customers to create the perfect layout and component list that work seamlessly within the van.
Offering customizable options with premium materials ensures each custom-built van stands apart. When you sit with our designers, you’ll be able to feel the smoothness of a Corian countertop and Sileather ceiling, see the detailed stitching on Sunbrella fabric, test each firmness level of our mattress offerings, and more.

Our proprietary infrastructure is the base of every van we create. It reinforces all aspects of your van build and the vehicle’s structure. Since our vans are 100% custom vehicles, our infrastructure varies due to the design of your van. We also include sound damping and insulation for a smooth and quiet driving experience as well as temperature regulation. These foundation features lead to a longer-lasting, better-performing vehicle.

Ceiling Insulation and Infrastructure
Ballistic Sound Dampening
Every van has full wall paneling, ceiling paneling, and a factory headliner. These panels are finished in closed-cell acoustic foam with a solid and durable interweave fabric of your choice. Material upgrades, like Sileather, are also available. Each type of fabric has numerous color options, and all our materials are tested and proven to last.

Each van comes with finished flooring and wheel tub boxes made with ¾” marine grade plywood, wrapped in a flooring material of your choice. Choose from a large variety of durable marine-grade vinyl that can withstand the most rugged adventures. The styles and color options are endless!

Our water system package provides on-demand fresh water anywhere you travel. This includes a freshwater tank that can hold anywhere from 15 to 30 gallons in various shapes that fit the van’s layout. The electric pump pulls minimal power from the battery to circulate water, and the carbon water filter provides peace of mind. To fill up your tank, we install an external water fill allowing for easy fill-ups with a hose while on the road. A grey water tank can also be added as an option.
Freshwater Tanks
Adventuring in your van shouldn’t be limited to warm months. Our heating systems are built to perform in the coldest conditions, so you’re not left frozen during an overnight winter camping trip or when you return to your van after a day on the slopes.
