YES. WE FULLY INSULATE AND INCLUDE AIR CONDITIONING, COLD WEATHER HEATING, 2200 AMP SOLAR GENERATOR THAT RECHARGES ON SOLAR, ALTERNATOR AND SHORE POWER. WE RUN BOTH 12V AND ALTERNATING CURRENT (AC) TO RUN ANY HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES AS WELL. WE INSTALL A 6 LITER 12V WATER HEATER FOR HOT WATER IN THE KITCHEN, SINK, AND SHOWER IN EVERY BUILD. THE AIR CONDITIONING IS DESIGNED TO RUN ON SHORE POWER BUT ADDING A SMALL PORTABLE GAS GENERATOR TO THE SYSTEM WILL ALLOW AIR CONDITIONING FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OFF-GRID.

YES. EVERY VAN HAS A NEW DOMETIC ROOF TOP AC UNIT THAT RUNS ON SHORE POWER ONLY. OUR VANS ARE FULLY INSULATED AND WILL STAY WARM IN COLD CLIMATES USING OUR ELECTRIC HEATER (PROVIDED).

EVEN THOUGH SOME CLAIM TO DO THIS, VANS AREN’T BIG ENOUGH TO CARRY ENOUGH BATTERIES TO RUN A COMPRESSOR AC UNIT FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME. POWER INVERTERS DON’T LIKE THE AMOUNT OF POWER NEEDED TO RUN ONE AS WELL (THEY SHUT DOWN TO PROTECT THEMSELVES). HOWEVER, WITH OUR CONFIGURATION, ALL THAT’S NEEDED IS TO ADD A $300 PORTABLE GAS GENERATOR TO PLUG IN YOUR 30AMP CIRCUIT AND YOUR VAN CAN BE OFF-GRID WITH AIR CONDITIONING FOR AS LONG AS YOU NEED.

THEY RUN….BUT DON’T HAVE ENOUGH BTUS TO COOL DOWN YOUR VAN TO A LIVABLE TEMPERATURE. YOU’LL BE UNCOMFORTABLE AND DRAIN YOUR BATTERIES AT THE SAME TIME. A COMPRESSOR 13K BTU RUNNING ON 110 IS THE ONLY WAY TO MOVE THE TEMPERATURE FROM 95 DEGREES TO 70. *KEEP IN MIND: IT’S ALL ABOUT RECOVERY. WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOOR TO ENTER AND LEAVE YOU LET 90% OF THE CONDITIONED ARE OUT! YOUR AIR CONDITIONER HAS TO EXCHANGE THAT HOT AIR FOR COLD ALL OVER AGAIN. YOU HAVE A CAMPER VAN TO ENJOY THE OUTDOORS; OPENING THE DOORS GETS YOU THERE.

MOST VAN BUILDERS ARE IN THE MOUNTAINS OR JUST IGNORE THE REST OF THE COUNTRY THAT YOU’RE LIKELY TO VISIT. YOU WILL TRAVEL MANY MILES THROUGH THE DESERT BEFORE YOU GET TO THE MOUNTAINS. AN AC UNIT WILL ALLOW YOU TO ENJOY VAN LIFE ANY TIME OF THE YEAR.

YES. EVERY NEXT CHAPTER VAN HAS A 12V 6 LITER HOT WATER TANK. THE 12V WATER HEATER USES LESS POWER THAN 110V.

SINCE THE BED IS IN A PERMANENT POSITION, THERE IS MAXIMUM STORAGE CAPACITY IN THE “GARAGE” OF THE VAN. STORAGE COMPARTMENTS CAN BE ADDED, BUT WE HAVE FOUND THAT AN OPEN, SPACIOUS GARAGE AREA GIVES MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY AND ALSO ADDS ANOTHER SLEEPING AREA. THERE’S 84 CUBIC FT OF OPEN STORAGE AREA UNDER THE BED. (BEDS THAT CONVERT OR LOWER FROM THE CEILING REQUIRE A LOT OF REARRANGING OF YOUR STORED MATERIALS EVERY TIME THEY’RE UTILIZED).

YES. WE CAN CUSTOM BUILD YOUR VAN INTO A CAMPER VAN WITH YOUR SPECIFICATIONS. THE PROCESS USUALLY TAKES ABOUT A MONTH.

YES. WE CAN ADD SYSTEMS TO YOUR EXISTING VAN.

YES. ALL SYSTEMS OF THE CONVERSION/BUILD WILL BE WORKING AND IN NEW CONDITION. WE USE HIGH QUALITY MATERIALS AND STANDARD INDUSTRY COMPONENTS. MANY OF THOSE COMPONENTS HAVE MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTEES. WE BELIEVE IN USING HIGH END MATERIALS THAT YOU'D SEE IN HIGH-END HOUSING.

NO. HOWEVER, THERE ARE COMPANIES THAT SPECIALIZE IN VAN FINANCING. CONTACT US AND WE CAN HELP YOU THERE.

YES. WE BUILD A CABINET THAT HOUSES A VARIETY OF CASSETTE STYLE TOILETS. WE PROVIDE A TOILET WITH THE BUILD, OR YOU CAN BRING YOUR OWN TOILET. MOST OF OUR CUSTOMERS UPGRADE TO A LAVEO DRY FLUSH TOILET THAT WE CAN INSTALL.

YES. THERE IS A PORTABLE GRAY WATER TANK UNDER THE SINK.

ALL OF OUR VANS ARE EQUIPPED WITH A 6 INCH RV QUEEN (60×74) MATTRESS PLUS A 2 INCH MEMORY FOAM FOR TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND COMFORT. WE BELIEVE THAT THE NUMBER ONE COMPONENT IN A CAMPER VAN IS THE BED AND THE BEST SLEEP IS THE PRIORITY. FOR THIS REASON WE BUILD THE VAN AROUND THE BED BECAUSE THAT'S THE REASON YOU HAVE A CAMPER VAN. SLEEP QUALITY SUFFERS WHEN THE BED WAS A DINETTE SEAT CUSHION DURING THE DAY.
