While this may not be our most prestigious build, it is our most economical. We refer to this as a “partial build,” where we have completed all the major components typically hidden behind our wall systems.

What remains is a fully functional build, including:

- EcoFlow 5kW kit
- 3 windows
- Swivel seats
- Air conditioner
- Maxxfan
- Subfloor and finished flooring
- Starlink Mini installed on the roof
- Full insulation
- Espar gasoline heater
- Roof rack with awning and solar installed
- Overhead lights and charging stations
- Queen-size bed area

This is a great, cost-effective way to start your van journey at a lower price point and within a quicker timeframe. This approach allows you to use the van in real-world conditions now; you can then bring it back to us later, and we can complete any additional cabinetry to your liking.

Happy camping!

We are excited to share that the movie “Passenger” is now out in theaters! was involved in this project, and several of our vans are featured in the film.

The movie is currently playing in theaters (at least in the Seattle area), so be sure to check it out. Fun fact: while this is a horror movie based on a cross-country road trip, it was filmed entirely at various locations across Washington state.
