Welcome everyone who has a family >4 where setups from builders are impossible to find (or others who just want a modular set up!). We had our van custom built in the spring of 2022 when we were wanting a fully modular setup to roadtrip comfortably with our family of 6, camp along the way as preferred, but also have the flexibility to empty the cabin and haul whatever for weekend projects or day trips with minimal effort. It’s been a total dream these past almost two years and nothing I’d change about the build.
We’re not driving as much now that we bought a house out on a lake in TN so would rather another family enjoy it.
The included pictures highlight a few of various configurations we run (8-person roadtrip, 6- person roadtrip, 6-person sleep modes, etc.), but can be configured to be 4-person or no person given the modularity provided from the l-track on walls and floors. We also use the extra set of bed rails to move the bed panels out the way but this can easily be converted to a double queen bunk by buying another set of moab bed panels–we were planning to do this as our kids grow out of the cabbunk and hammock setup!
No expense was spared on the materials, components and build quality. Patrol Vans out of Charleston did a majority of the build. See the full build list below.
