Why Vansmith

Built right, in Boulder, since 2016.

Boulder-built since 2016

300+ vans on the road since our first Sprinter build in 2016. As a Colorado-basedcustom camper van builder, we test every system — suspension, insulation, power —in the mountain conditions our customers actually drive in.

Premium materials

We build with marine-grade hardware, sustainably sourced birch and bamboo, and hand-finished cabinetry—not particle board or stock hardware.

Lifetime cabinet warranty

Every cabinet we build is covered for the life of the van, for the originalowner — no time limit. It's one of the strongest warranties offered by anycustom camper van builder in the country.

Designed for real adventure

AWD and 4x4 chassis options, large lithium power banks, and true off-gridcapability. Every custom build is designed around how far off the grid youactually plan to go.

Custom camper van FAQ

How much does a custom Vansmith cost?

Custom builds typically range $46,950 to $68,950 depending on chassis, layout, and systems. The Sprinter or Transit base vehicle (~$72K) is not included.

How long does a build take?

6 to 10 weeks from design lock to delivery. We give you a real timeline on the design call.

How customizable is each build?

Every Vansmith is fully custom. Pick the chassis, layout, sleeping, cooking, power, water, and exterior. We refine it all together on the design call.

Sprinter or Transit, which should I pick?

Sprinter (144/170, AWD or 4x4) for the most chassis options and proven mountain travel. Transit (148/EL, AWD) is the most efficient way into a hand-built van. Sprinter conversions · Transit conversions.

What happens on the design call?

30 free minutes. We learn how you travel, walk through layout options, and answer real questions about scope, price, and timeline. No pressure.

What's the lifetime cabinet warranty?

Every Vansmith cabinet is covered for the life of the van for the original owner. Marine-grade hardware, sustainable wood. If something fails under normal use, we fix it.

What makes Vansmith the best custom camper van builder in Colorado?

We do every part of the build in-house at our Boulder shop — design, electrical, cabinetry, and finish work — rather than outsourcing to subcontractors. That's paired with a lifetime cabinet warranty for the original owner and 300+ vans built since 2016, with real mileage in mountain conditions.

Do you build for customers outside Colorado?

Yes. While our shop and design calls are based in Boulder, we ship completed vans across the U.S. Many customers fly in for the design process and pickup, or arrange shipping to their state.

Do you offer financing?

Yes. The Vansmith offers financing through third-party lenders that specialize in camper van and RV financing, including RV and personal-loan options. Financing can be used for new builds and available vans, with terms and rates depending on the lender and your financial profile. You can also use The Vansmith's RV Loan Calculator & Financing to estimate monthly payments before applying.

Owner stories

What owners say

4.8 Average Rating · 150+ Reviews

"Our Sprinter build is absolutely stunning. Craftsmanship, attention to detail, and communication were top notch. Best money we've ever spent."

"Drove our van from Boulder to Patagonia. Zero issues. Electrical, insulation, and cabinetry have held up perfectly through two years of full-time van life."

"They converted our Transit into a rolling home that's both beautiful and incredibly functional. Bamboo cabinetry, galley kitchen, electrical system, all flawless."

"18 months and 30 states later, nothing has come loose, warped, or broken. Build quality is on another level compared to everywhere else we looked."
