Built for Florida’s Two Biggest Vanlife Challenges: Heat and the Long Haul
The MaxxAir fan draws 2–3W and moves 900 CFM of air through the van. Paired with spray foam insulation (which slows interior heat spike on both sides, not just in winter), the interior temperature on a Florida summer afternoon is meaningfully lower than an uninsulated build. Lighter color options reduce solar heat absorption further.
The DUO XLS and FAMILY XLS are the snowbird builds — 22-foot interior with dedicated sleeping, cooking, and storage for two adults. Water tank capacity supports multiple days between fills. Interior layout functions as a mobile second home from Pensacola to Naples, November through April.
Sustainably sourced cabinetry with sealed edges — built to handle Florida’s year-round humidity, salt air near the coast, and the moisture that accumulates in any enclosed space during a Florida summer.
All DUO Series models at 19 feet fit Florida State Park standard campsites. DUO XL and XLS at 22 feet fit at most sites — verify your preferred park’s maximum length before booking. Bahia Honda State Park in the Keys: the DUO fits the loop sites.
Exterior fittings use marine-grade and stainless hardware. Sealed cabinetry edges and non-porous interior surfaces resist the salt-air corrosion that coastal Florida accelerates on cheaper van conversions.
Florida’s snowbird buyers often approach a DUO XLS or FAMILY XLS as a $70k–$120k second home investment, not a vehicle purchase. We work with specialist RV financing partners who understand this use case.
From the beaches of the Keys to the forests of the Panhandle, The Vansmith builds campervans designed for Florida’s sunshine and coastal lifestyle. Every van is handcrafted in Boulder, Colorado, and engineered for comfort, durability, and off-grid living—keeping you cool, connected, and ready for adventure year-round.
Start Your BuildHandcrafted with precision and built for the coast, The Vansmith campervans are made to thrive in Florida’s warm, adventurous lifestyle. From sandy shores to tropical backroads, each van blends comfort, durability, and off-grid freedom—so you can explore the Sunshine State your way.
Explore Our Vans
Custom camper vans built in Colorado, delivered to your door in Florida.
Every Vansmith conversion van begins in our Boulder, Colorado workshop, where craftsmanship and innovation meet. Each model is designed to perform in Florida’s warm, coastal climate while keeping you cool, connected, and off-grid as long as you like. Whether you're searching for a used camper van for sale in Florida, a custom conversion van for weekend coastal trips, or a Class B RV designed for seasonal living, The Vansmith builds adventure-ready vans engineered for Florida's climate, highways, and outdoor lifestyle.
Florida travelers often choose camper vans for their flexibility, allowing easy access to beach towns, state parks, springs, and long-distance road trips throughout the Southeast without the size limitations of larger motorhomes. We offer a complete line of new and used campervans for sale in Florida, including:
Each van can be customized with solar power systems, Espar heaters, lithium batteries, and handcrafted cabinetry built from sustainable Baltic birch for customers across Georgia and Alabama.
Every Vansmith build is engineered for Florida's two most demanding use cases: the weekend warrior chasing Canaveral's beaches or Ocala's springs who needs a van that won't become an oven by noon, and the snowbird using their van as a mobile second home along the Gulf Coast from November through April. Both buyers have specific needs that a generic campervan doesn't address — we build for both. For couples, remote workers, and weekend travelers, the DUO Series offers a compact layout that is easy to maneuver through coastal towns, state park campgrounds, and busy urban areas like Miami, Tampa, and Jacksonville. Travelers planning extended stays or seasonal living often prefer the DUO XLS for its larger interior, dedicated sleeping space, and expanded storage capacity. Families, pet owners, and snowbirds frequently choose the FAMILY Series because it provides additional sleeping capacity, gear storage, and living space for longer trips along Florida's Gulf Coast, Atlantic Coast, and inland state parks.
Every Vansmith build is designed to handle the realities of Florida travel, including long interstate drives, coastal humidity, salt exposure, tropical rainfall, and year-round outdoor use. Durable materials, efficient ventilation, and off-grid power systems help ensure reliable performance wherever the road leads. Our design process is fully remote-friendly. Florida buyers can work directly with our team through virtual consultations, video calls, digital design reviews, and regular build updates without needing to travel to Colorado during the planning and construction process.
“Florida is about freedom and fun. We build vans that capture both - so you can wake up by the ocean, explore the mangroves, or hit the road without limits.”
– Eugene Smit, CEO of The Vansmith

Wherever you are, The Vansmith makes it easy to start your vanlife journey.
Compact, efficient, and beautiful, the DUO Series is ideal for two. Whether you’re chasing waves along the Atlantic coast or exploring state parks inland, it offers comfort and capability in one streamlined design. The DUO Series is especially popular among Florida couples, solo travelers, surfers, digital nomads, retirees, and weekend adventurers looking for a highly maneuverable camper van that performs equally well in urban environments and remote campgrounds.
The FAMILY Series is perfect for those who travel together. With seating and sleeping for four or more, this layout is ideal for family beach trips, national park adventures, and long-haul journeys through the Sunshine State. The FAMILY Series provides additional sleeping space, storage, and flexibility for families exploring Florida's state parks, coastal campgrounds, spring-fed rivers, and multi-state road trips throughout the Southeast.
Additional popular destinations for Florida vanlifers include Dry Tortugas National Park access points, St. George Island State Park, Anastasia State Park, Paynes Prairie Preserve, Crystal River, and the Apalachicola National Forest, each offering unique opportunities for camping, paddling, wildlife viewing, and coastal exploration.
