Small on purpose. The same hands on every van, from first sketch to final walkthrough.

Dylan

Build Technician

Built his own RAV4 into a camper before he ever built a van. Works on every van we build, from CNC cutting and electrical to the interiors.

The Shop

A few years ago we went deep on lean manufacturing and organization. We wanted the business to sit on a solid foundation, not just build good vans.

It worked. Every van in the last two years has gone out on time or early. The shop is also a genuinely good place to spend a day, and clients tell us all the time how smooth things run on the back end.

That matters in a van business. We plan to be here a long time.

Every tool has a home. An organized shop builds quality vans quickly.

“When I visited their shop it was clean and very organized. I wouldn’t take a van anywhere else.” David Sinclair, Google review

Everything happens in our Reno shop. CNC cabinetry, electrical assembly, water systems and seating installs.

We are certified installers for Victron Energy, AMF Bruns Smartfloor and Mobiframe, Adventure Wagon and Infinity Vans kits and Flarespace.

We’ve been building vans in Reno for 7 years. Over 150 so far, about 12 full builds a year and 62 five star Google reviews.

Kamper Vans started with a third generation finish carpenter and ten years of living out of vans. Cassidy learned cabinetmaking from his family and learned van life by living it. He knows what breaks on washboard roads, what you actually use and what a build feels like at 6am in a snowstorm at 8,000 feet. That’s what we build against.

We’ve stayed small on purpose. Twelve full builds a year means every van gets the same hands from first sketch to final walkthrough and every electrical system gets designed instead of copied. Doing things right the first time is how we keep the schedule. Every van in the last two years has been delivered before its promised date.

The Shop

Everything happens in our Reno shop. CNC cabinetry, electrical assembly, water systems and seating installs. Customers regularly tell us it’s the cleanest shop they’ve seen and that’s not an accident. A clean shop builds clean vans. We are dedicated to focusing on efficiency and quality over expansion.
