Inquire about a build

while we specialize in Mercedes sprinter vans, we can also build your dream van on a ford transit or ram promaster chassis – if you have questions about another style of rig feel free to contact us here.

our process

Our goal is to make the build process as seamless as possible for you so here’s what you can expect.

You can fill out the van build questionnaire here. Once your build details have been received we will review the form and be in touch to set up a free 30 minute consultation.

During our initial consultation we do a deep dive into your build to ensure we fully understand your needs, goals, and budget.

Once you’ve reviewed your build estimate, asked any follow up questions you may have, and feel comfortable with everything we’ve spoken about so far you will sign a service agreement and pay a non-refundable deposit to secure your build slot.

This is where the real fun begins! During this stage of the process you will need to secure your van, finalize build plans (i.e. choosing materials, colors, finishes, etc), and schedule your drop off – we will give you a full checklist of everything to have completed before the start of your build!

It’s time to drop off your van so we can get a start on your build! The day you drop off we will review your build plan one last time and discuss any changes you might want to make or address any final questions you might have. Then it’s up to us to bring your vision to life! Don’t worry though, throughout the build we will provide updates and progress reports to keep you in the loop! 🙂

Once your van is complete, we will schedule a pick up or delivery date. On this day, we will give you a full orientation of your new van, answer any and all questions, and send you off with as many resources as possible – as well as our continued support as you start this new era of vanlife!
