Van-BuildinG

At the heart of our product line are high-performance, off-grid, off-road, mobile homes / offices, with the goal of living a lifestyle that ranks experiences over material things.

 

METHOD

We are constantly redesigning and installing upgrades based on what really works, while living in the wild. There are no theories or hypothesizing, we are only interested in what works the best.

VISION

Our vision is to build high-performance, off-grid, off-road, mobile homes / offices. We utilize only the highest quality components to realize complete water systems, off-grid electrical, internet, food storage, kitchen areas, sleeping quarters, latrine, and a stowable shower.

BASE

Each van-build begins as a brand-new Mercedes AWD Sprinter Van as the base unit (heated seats, large touch screen + all the bells and whistles) and then includes an upgraded wheel and tire-package (size: 265-70R17) for off-road exploration and performance.

ROOF RACK DESIGN

We designed a custom roof-rack system to accommodate walkable solar arrays, which double as an observation deck. Our custom roof rack also accommodates the Starlink Internet system for 24/7 communications, and a high-performance, low profile, rooftop AC and ventilation system.

High Performance Base Systems

Having lived in our vans full time for the last 3 years we understand the demands of daily off-grid living. At the heart of our vision is the development of robust high-quality systems which form the bedrock of our Van-builds: Electrical, Water, Communications, Storage, Toilet, Refrigeration, Cooking, Sleeping. 

Innovative Water Solutions

All of our water systems start with a 36 gallon water tank then utilize an under-mount Incline Water heater (water is heated passively from the Van engine). We utilize freeze -resistant Pex-A plumbing throughout and a 1.5 HP water pump as well as a water filter and water purification system.

Energy Systems

Solar Arrays
