high quality custom vans built by vanlifers
At era campervans we pride ourselves not only on the quality and craftsmanship of our builds, but also on the fact that we are vanlifers ourselves. We (the owners) live in our van full time and have been for 3 years and counting, so we understand the need for a functional, practical, well built, yet aesthetic home on wheels that can take you to all of the incredible places youโre dreaming of. Our ultimate goal is to use our experience building and living in vans to bring to life the van youโve been dreaming of and to help you to navigate life on the road in the most sustainable way. You can feel confident that our vans are built to last so you can explore. roam. adventure. for years to come

We’re the husband and wife team behind era campervans, supervised by Chloe! With a passion for tiny living, functional design, woodworking, and exploring the unknown, weโre here to turn your vanlife vision into reality. 3 years of living in a van and counting – we know a thing or two about what you need, what you don’t, and what just might be nice to have. We’re excited to be a part of your vanlife era!

how it all started
- 2019Hannah has the idea to travel in a camper after graduation
Keith is unsure but there’s still 6 months+ to graduation and more than 1 year left on an apartment lease
- 2020The pandemic hits & we bring Chloe home
Life is on lockdown, we keep working our 9-5s but in May decide that we’re going to do vanlife so we can travel with our dog Chloe
- Nov. 2021We buy our first van – a 2021 Mercedes Sprinter
After a year of planning and selling all of our belongings we start our first van build

We spent 6 months traveling from Indiana all the way to California and back before having the opportunity to start another build
- Jan. 2023Van build #2 begins
We started our second build for a solo female and her dog
- April 2023Van build #2 is complete
- April-Nov 2023We continue traveling the US in our first build

- Dec 2023Keith starts work as a lead van builder
- Dec 2023 – Sep 2024Keith builds 8 vans as a lead builder & Hannah works as a social media manager
We learn that quality control and building relationships with clients is most important to us if we’re going to build vans leading us to pursue a different path
- 2025Era Campervans is born
The end of 2024/beginning of 2025 is spent building a 1600 sq ft workshop, building our second van for us to live in full time, and we begin promoting Era Campervans
