Meet the Zen Van. This is my fifth custom van build, a project that combines years of experience with thoughtful design. Drawing on lessons learned from previous builds, I’ve created a one-of-a-kind Sprinter RV van packed with innovative features, luxurious finishes, and practical solutions for full-time vanlife or weekend getaways. Every detail has been carefully planned and implemented to ensure comfort, functionality, and beauty.

Why This Van Stands Out:
This build is more than just a camper van – it’s a carefully crafted mobile home designed with attention to every detail. From the luxurious heated flooring to the custom-designed countertop with its lighted river, this van blends form and function seamlessly. It’s off-grid capable, with modern amenities and a thoughtful layout that ensures every square inch is used to its fullest potential.
Perfect for adventurers, remote workers, or anyone who wants to live or travel in style.
