Kent has something most Puget Sound van owners wish they had: room to park. Sitting between Seattle and Tacoma in the Green River valley, it gives you driveways and garages that the city does not, while keeping Mount Rainier under two hours away, Snoqualmie Pass about an hour east, and the Olympic Peninsula a ferry ride west.
That combination makes Kent a practical base for a camper van rather than a difficult one. The Vansmith builds Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and Ford Transit camper vans in Boulder, Colorado, and delivers them across the Puget Sound region. Conversion packages on a van you already own start at $46,950, complete vans with the chassis included start at $115,950, and pre-built Bivy models run from $119,700 to $192,570. For the statewide picture, see
camper vans in Washington.
| Technical Specification | Kent Requirement | Why It Matters | What We Build |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heating | Cold and damp-season capability | Comfortable overnight use and air drying | Fuel-fired air heater sized to van volume |
| Ventilation | Effective continuous airflow | The primary defense against condensation | Powered roof fan with variable speed and direction |
| Insulation | Appropriate thermal coverage | Keeps interior surfaces above the dew point | Insulation on all six sides; Havelock wool in Bivy models |
| Electrical system | Battery and charging matched to use | Supports refrigeration, lighting and the heater fan | Lithium bank, inverter, distribution and monitoring as one system |
| Solar | Configuration-dependent capacity | Useful spring through fall, limited under winter cloud | Array sized to roof and layout, with winter expectations set honestly |
| Alternator charging | Reliable charging while driving | Does most of the work November through March | DC-DC charger fitted on every build |
| Shore power | External charging where available | Helpful at campgrounds and at a home outlet | Onboard charger and shore connection on every build |
| Water system | Freeze and moisture considerations | Mountain trips can drop below freezing | Protected routing where layout allows, accessible drain points |
| Vehicle height | Garage and parking clearance | Roughly 9 to 10 ft in high roof form | Measure your garage door opening before ordering |
| Vehicle length | Matched to parking and driving | Approx. 19.5 ft or 22.5 ft built | Kent driveways often allow the extended option |
| Drivetrain | Matched to mountain travel | Cascade passes see heavy snow | RWD, AWD or 4x4 depending on platform |
| Tires | Suited to intended conditions | Wet pavement, gravel and snow each need the right tire | Chosen around your routes; confirm sizing for your chassis |
| Storage | Wet and dry separated | Pacific Northwest recreation generates wet gear | Gear garage for wet, sealed cabinets for dry, roof racks for bulky |
| Refrigeration | Capacity based on trip length | Supports extended road trips | 12V compressor fridge, low draw in cool weather |
Exact figures for payload, ground clearance, tire sizing and vehicle dimensions depend on the chassis, trim and drivetrain you choose. We confirm each against your build during the design call.
Nine tailored layouts across the two-person DUO Series and the four-person FAMILY Series, plus three pre-built Bivy trims. Browse all tailored models .
A Class B is a camper built on a van chassis rather than a truck frame. It parks in a standard space, fits most home garages, and drives like a tall van. Browse our Class B RVs for sale .
Current stock, including inspected used vans, is listed on our camper vans for sale page.
Every layout is available as a camper van for sale in Kent, built to order in Boulder. Use our van designer or call (303) 414-6834 for a fixed, itemized quote.
Kent sits on I-5 between two major cities, with SR-167 running north and south and I-90 reaching east toward the Cascades. Most weekend destinations are within two hours, which suits a van you use regularly rather than seasonally.
A van around 19.5 feet drives close to a full-size pickup and handles the commute as well as the trailhead. That dual use is where a Class B earns its place over a trailer or a larger RV.
Unlike Seattle proper, where street parking and garage height rule out most vans, Kent buyers often have a driveway or garage. That opens up the extended layouts around 22.5 feet, which add a full interior shower, larger tanks and more storage. Measure your garage door opening before ordering, because a high-roof van stands roughly 9 to 10 feet tall.
A new build gives you a layout designed around your travel and a lifetime cabinet warranty. A used van costs less and is available sooner, but in a wet climate the biggest risk is hidden moisture damage. Check under the floor, behind wall panels, around roof fans and windows, and trust your nose: a musty smell usually means water has been getting in.
Used vans in the Puget Sound region deserve one specific check above all others: water intrusion. Look under the floor, behind wall panels where accessible, around every roof penetration and in cabinet corners. Soft spots, staining or a musty smell all point to moisture that has been getting in for a while.
Beyond that, ask who built it, whether the electrical work was documented, and when the batteries were last replaced. We keep a rotating selection of inspected used camper vans that ship from Boulder, and our used van buying checklist covers private listings.
Conversion pricing covers the build only. Complete-van pricing from $115,950 includes the chassis, and we can source the vehicle for you.
