What makes a camper different from an RV?
While RV is actually a technical and legal term it basically indicates a vehicle is equipped with many of the amenities commonly found in a home. Our fundamental problem with this is over time its become commonplace to bring all of the amenities of home with with you while you travel. Often times this includes heated tile floors, china cabinets, sofas, recliners, and satellite television... washers and dryers, small bathtubs... While all these things have their place we believe that is.... at home. We affectionately refer to our builds as campers because of the thoughtful and specific omission of many of the amenities commonly included in RV's. The advantage is a much less complicated, much more reliable, and much more versatile machine.

Some of your builds look really simple, why?
Why thank you, we try very hard to keep things simple, both mechanically and visually. Its very easy to fall into the "more is better " trap, however we've found the more unnecessary components we can eliminate the more functional and reliable your vehicle becomes.

What are some things I should think about before having a camper built for me?
This is a great question. Try making a list of your top 10 "must haves" then think about why those items made it on your list.

Why are some builds more expensive than others but look so similar?
This usually comes back to the complexity of the components and the finishes used. Just like a house there are lots and lots of things that you cannot see that can make a huge impact on cost and function.

Seems like you really like AWD and 4x4 vans… why?
There are a lot of great platforms for your camper build, however a factory 4x4 and AWD Sprinter and Transit give you a bit more piece of mind when the pavement ends and the fun begins!

My RV is broken, can you fix it for me?
We do not offer service on traditional RVs

Will you use spray foam insulation when you build my van?
Nope.

Where does the power come from in my van?
The answer to this question can be very short, or very.... very long. In a nutshell power can come from three places: Your vehicles alternator, solar panels mounted to the roof of your van, or shore power. Our Vans offer all three so regardless where you roam you won’t have to worry.

I want a bathroom and a shower in my van.
Just like the electrical system in your van this can be simple or complicated. Composting and cassette toilets are inexpensive and work great. Outside showers are also a great way to save space inside your van while eliminating a fair amount of plumbing and also the need for tanks to store waste water. If a built in shower is a must, we offer a stainless enclosure option that is built in house.

Can I come visit your shop?
Yes, however we ask that all shop visits are by appointment only.
