“Beachwood” 2021 Mercedes 144 Sprinter

This rig was built to be simple and yet functional, lined with cedar paneling it brings in warmth and cozy vibes. This rig is an excellent companion when it comes to hitting the surf, shredding the powder, or a quick camping trip on the weekend. The van has a 200-watt solar set up with 200ah batteries to keep the lights on, food cold, and a diesel heater to keep things toasty when it gets chilly.

“Birchwood” 2000 E350 Ford Econoline Club Wagon

A van built as a mobile bicycle repair unit! This rig came to us with an empty shell previously used as a passenger transport rig for a bike team and wanted to be converted as a mobile bike repair unit during races and weekend out-and-back. The van has the ability to unload and load a tool chest with tools, extra storage spaces, and extra compartments to hold loose odds and ends pertaining to all repair needs. Other fun amenities include running water from a 10-gallon tank, 200-ah battery capacity, a two-burner propane stove, a 54L refrigerator, and dimmable overhead lights. The fixed bed is about the size of a full-size bed and under the bed there are 2 large pull-out drawers with 250LB sliders for those bulkier items. The electrical system runs off of the alternator and a 200-watt solar array. Additionally, there is an exterior awning and a small rooftop plank to load and unload the cargo storage container. The van layout allows for a lot of open space and ease of going in and out of the van when needed. The material mainly used in this was birch and we are loving how the grain and look of it all came out.

“Whitewood” 2009 E250 Ford Econoline high roof

This fun rig was once a wheelchair-accessible vehicle that previously had a campervan story already built into it. When we received it we tore it all out and started over with a clean slate. The van came with a raised roof and allowed for more head space and an open feeling. The idea around the custom layout was to allow space for 2 people and two dogs so they could go on weekend camping trips or up to the mountains to go skiing in the winter. The layout consists of a long bench with storage and a smaller bench where both sides can sit while using a pull-out table. The rig comes with a pull-out bed, shower with running hot water, a sink, and a propane stove. The van is also heated with a Propex heater that puts out some serious heat when needed. Additionally, there are two 100w solar panels charging a 200ah battery to keep up with the refrigerator, various, lights, and other accessories.

“Ironwood” 2007 Ford e250 Econoline Van

Built to meet the growing demand of my rentals, I created a simple yet sturdy layout to take anyone anywhere and still be comfortable. I wanted to make sure the van felt open and spacious given the size of the vehicle. Legend was built using mostly all redwood material, heating duct insulation, and vinyl flooring. It has a small kitchen with running water and a pull-out 45 L Yeti cooler that can be accessed from the front seats. I left the option for a portable stove rather than building one in to create options at campgrounds or other areas to cook outside. The bedroom is a bed to couch conversion and when you are ready for bed the couch pulls out into a queen-size bed.

“Wildwood” 2007 Ford E350 Econoline Van

An adventure van for me! This was my first build and I am pleased to see thrive and go the distance having been around the country and back. Wildwood was built using knotty pine shiplap, fiberglass insulation, and vinyl flooring. This rig had a small working kitchen with running water, a 2 burner propane stove, and a 45 L Yeti cooler instead of a fridge. Other items included a small dry pantry and a spice rack. The bed is roughly the size of a queen bed with most of the storage located under it and the bed also folds back to allow for a small table to extend upwards for additional seating and work surface.
