Why buyers choose The Vansmith
We are a family-owned shop in Boulder, and we have built more than 300 vans since 2016. Every one of them was designed and built in-house, not outsourced to a third-party fabricator.
- Layouts proven across 300 builds, not first attempts
- Electrical designed and installed by our own team, so the people who wired your van can service it later
- Four-season systems tested through Colorado winters and desert summers
- Lifetime cabinet warranty for the original owner, with no mileage or year limits
- NOAH certified, independently inspected against RV industry build standards
Our vans are built to look like a home rather than an RV, and to hold up on Rocky Mountain passes in February. If your trips end where the pavement does, start with our 4x4 and AWD camper vans. If you want a premium interior for long trips, look at the luxury camper van collection.
Explore Our Van Builds & Inventory
We build on both, every week, and neither is the wrong answer. The Sprinter holds value better, the diesel gets more range per tank, and its AWD system has years of proven mountain use. It costs more to buy and more to service. The Transit costs less up front, the gas engine is cheaper to maintain, and any Ford dealer in the country can work on it. The EcoBoost keeps its power at altitude, which we notice here in Colorado.
