The Green Package

There is nothing like wool fiber. Nature’s R&D department goes back some 10,000 years. Wool fiber has evolved to protect sheep from the elements, from the hot and cold to the damp and dry. The same goes for you when wool is used as insulation for your eco-friendly camper van. 

Sustainable and all-natural Havelock Wool inherently manages moisture against 65% relative humidity and absorbs harmful chemicals such as formaldehyde, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. It also crushes road noise and can be reused or composted (to grow award-winning heirloom tomatoes) should you choose to move into a new rig.

Beetle kill blue pine is the result of blue stain fungus that spreads from bark beetles to whitebark pine trees. The blue stain pine fungus works symbiotically with the beetles by turning wood into nutrients. Healthy trees would usually expel the beetles by producing resin, but cycles of warm weather have weakened many trees and prevented them from producing enough of their defensive resin.

A byproduct of the damage done by this hungry duo is a strong and beautiful piece of blue pine lumber that is streaked with a natural blue-grey stain. The beetles do not weaken or contaminate the wood, and the fungi are actually burnt away during the kiln drying process. An affordable, eco-friendly blue stain pine is left behind to adorn the ceiling of your conversion van.

Want to drive to our country’s parks with less guilt about the gas involved? Now you can, by offsetting your van’s carbon footprint. Driving 20,000 miles per year equals a carbon footprint of around 15,552 lbs of CO2e. With The Vansmith and TerraPass, you can offset that driving – an equivalent of planting 181 urban trees. 

Our Green Package van conversions offset 20,000 miles worth of the gasoline you burn each year for 5 years. Start small. Be conscious of the impact your actions have on the environment and figure out what you can do to lessen the blow. Calculate, conserve and offset.

Bamboo is an extremely sustainable plant and doesn't typically need fertilizer, pesticides or irrigation for growth. And fear not, bamboo still performs just as well, if not better, than our typical countertop materials. Bamboo is durable, solid and easy to refinish, making it perfect for our environmentally friendly camper conversions.
