FAQs
-
We know you are excited to get on the road, but turning a van into a functional home on wheels that can withstand rugged roads takes time. It typically takes 12 to 16 weeksfor us to complete a full custom van conversion.
-
Lead times are based upon current workload and product procurement times. Expect it to take anywhere from 1-3 months (and sometimes longer) for us to get started on your project. Please remember that we are a small business and, to ensure our customers’ projects get the full attention they deserve, we only work on one custom van at a time.
-
We offer a warranty of 1 year from delivery date. We are incredibly proud of our workmanship and only use premium materials, so our vans withstand the rigors of the van lifestyle. You can enjoy adventure instead of the headache of repairs.
-
We primarily focus on the Mercedes Sprinter chassis for full custom van conversions. However, we also do upgrades and other services on Ford Transit, RAM Promaster, Winnebago Revel, and Storyteller vans.

This is a hard question to answer because everyone has different needs. The cost really depends on the scope of the work. We always work closely with our customers to stay within budget while still getting everything you need for your van lifestyle. Give us a call and we’d be happy to provide you a specific quote for your project.

No, we can’t provide the van. However, we can help you select a van, guide you through purchase of your van, and even recommend some dealers in Colorado and Utah. We also sometimes have turnkey custom vans that you can buy from us. Check them out here.

ABEONA
The Abeona custom van was designed to be comfortable even on extended trips. It is loaded with creature comforts, like a stowable shower and a high-end kitchen complete with induction cooktop and coffeemaker. It’s powered by the SAGA 4V power system with a 9.6kW battery bank and 270W solar power, so it remains functional even for extended off-grid trips, and the advanced climate control system means it can be used all year round.

Wolf Den
The Wolf Den was designed to be a 4-season van for camping, skiing and cross-country trips. It can comfortably seat and sleep three passengers without feeling crowded. We particularly love the Bamboo paneling and Baltic Birch custom cabinets on this van build, and there is loads of storage incorporated into the design for gear and supplies.

Zen Den
The Zen Den was created for a family who wants to enjoy the best of both indoor and outdoor living while on camping adventures. We managed to get 5 sleeping spaces into the van by incorporating a rooftop tent and folding bench seat. The layout is highly configurable and slide-out rear kitchen saves space while allowing them to cook outdoors.

Meili
This van was designed for an active couple who loves skiing, so it was important that the van was equipped for icy roads and sub-freezing conditions. In addition to a fantastic heating and suspension system, the van has features like frost-proof plumbing so they can take a hot shower after adventures.
