Camper Van California Built for the Coastal Way of Life

Every Vansmith camper van begins in our Boulder, Colorado workshop, where craftsmanship meets obsession. Designed to handle long hauls through desert heat, mountain passes, and coastal mist with reliability and style, each conversion is built for the California way of life.

California buyers get access to our full line of adventure vans, including:

• DUO Series – The perfect two-person layout for weekend warriors and couples.
• FAMILY Series – Our ultimate adventure van for families and groups.
• Mobile Office Vans – For creatives and remote professionals who want to work from anywhere with a view.

Each model can be customized with solar power systems, Espar heaters, lithium batteries, and custom cabinetry built from sustainable Baltic birch and finished to match your personal style for customers across Oregon, Nevada, and Arizona.
