Intro

At The Vansmith, we don’t just build vans. We create experiences. Since 2016, our mission has been to provide people who seek adventure and the freedom of the open road with the tools, services, products, and knowledge to do so. Each van we design reflects a deep respect for craftsmanship, function, and the pursuit of discovery.


Why This Matters

Choosing a van company is more than selecting a vehicle. It’s choosing a partner for your adventures. Your van should reflect your lifestyle, your values, and your goals. Whether you’re heading out for weekend getaways or committing to full-time van life, The Vansmith ensures your van is as versatile, capable, and unique as your journey.

Our experienced team of builders, engineers, and designers understands that van life is about more than travel. It’s about creating a home on wheels. Through innovative layouts and thoughtful details, we bring the luxury of home comforts to the outdoors. Every space is carefully designed for both function and feeling, blending high-end amenities with ergonomic flow to make every journey exceptional.

2. Unmatched Craftsmanship, Built to Roam Further

We take pride in every detail we create. Each van is crafted by skilled artisans using precision techniques and durable materials that stand up to the demands of life on the road. Designed for reliability and longevity, a Vansmith van is built to keep you moving, no matter where your travels take you.

3. We Tailor to Your Vision

Your journey is personal, and your van should be too. Our layouts are based on proven, road-tested designs, but we work closely with you to make them your own. Whether you need extra seating for family trips or additional storage for gear, we’ll adapt your van to fit your lifestyle while maintaining the craftsmanship and reliability that define The Vansmith.

5. Sustainability in Every Van

Exploring responsibly is part of our DNA. We use sustainable materials like bamboo, birch, and wool, and we design energy-efficient systems to help you travel lightly on the planet. Each decision we make is intentional, ensuring that every van aligns with our goal of protecting the landscapes we love to explore.


Expert Advice

Every van we create is a balance of beauty, function, and endurance. We believe good design starts with listening. That’s why we invest time in understanding how you plan to use your van, where you’ll travel, and what matters most to you. From there, we engineer solutions that make sense — efficient layouts, durable finishes, and thoughtful details that elevate your experience on the road.


The Vansmith Story

The Vansmith began in 2016 when cousins Aaron Haack and Roberto Gutierrez combined their skills and shared love for the outdoors. Aaron, a master mechanic and tiny home builder, brought over 15 years of technical expertise. Roberto, a marketing entrepreneur, contributed business strategy and a passion for storytelling.

From those roots, The Vansmith grew into a family-owned company based in Boulder, Colorado. Over eight years later, we’ve earned a reputation for creating vans that are as functional and durable as they are beautiful. Every van is crafted to roam further, built to handle the rigors of mountain passes, desert trails, and coastal highways.

Today, we continue to blend engineering precision with design artistry. Our newest line-up offers high-quality, thoughtfully designed vans with all the essentials, crafted to maximize space and deliver unbeatable value. We’ve streamlined our process to make owning an adventure-ready van easier than ever, without compromising on quality or craftsmanship.


The Vansmith POV

Our mission is simple: to empower people to explore comfortably, confidently, and responsibly. Every van we craft is an invitation to step outside, chase new horizons, and reconnect with what matters most. Whether you’re a solo traveler or a family ready to hit the road, we’re here to make your vision real.
