Every day our community grows as more people find inspiration by unplugging and recharging.

THE ADVENTURE BEGINS

Our Story

As a child growing up with three sisters and hardworking parents with humble occupations, we never had the money to fly. That being the case, we were always on road trips in our old station wagon, with family in California, Colorado, and Arkansas. I never knew I would end up catalyzing the adventures of so many people by opening OVP!

It wasn’t my dream to open a van conversion business, nor did I know that it was even a thing. I wanted to design buildings, so I went to school for Civil Engineering thinking that would get me where I needed to go. But, just as many others have found out the hard way, guidance counselors are typically useless and don’t actually know how to help you get anywhere you want to go. But thanks to them and a few twists and turns along the way, I went from environmental engineering to commercial project management, to designing and constructing micro-buildings - the inside of vehicles, for a vast array of amazing clients!

OVP is a bespoke RV builder utilizing intuitive layouts and innovative designs for vans and trucks. Our builds promise comfort and versatility using only the highest quality materials and building methods, so you can stay focused on the adventure at hand. With both Fully-Custom and Semi-Custom layouts, you can have everything you need without compromise.

An Experience Investment.

Our Purpose

Your adventure concierge. We will be your tour guide for everything through design, financing, insurance, troubleshooting, and even help with the sale of your rig when its time for the next adventure.

Our Experience

With over a decade of building vans, we produce roughly 50 custom adventure rigs per year with a focus on quality and customer service. Each custom designed vehicle we put onto the road is hand-built to meet our customers needs.

Our Innovations

We are innovators and Pioneers in the RV space with a relentless need to push this industry forward. They say Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so we love to see our designs and techniques used by others.

Our Process

When it comes to purchasing a camper van or opting for a van conversion, safety, quality, and reliability are paramount. One way to ensure you are getting the best is by choosing a company that holds an RVIA (Recreational Vehicle Industry Association) certification.

SIMPLE & TRANSPARENT

It all starts with a layout, specifications and a price.

When you inquire we will set up a meeting (or call) to review your layout, needs and wants and build you a quote. This process only takes about an hour and is often all someone needs to decide if we are a good fit to build your dream rig.
Reserve a build slot.

It only costs $1000 to hold our next available build slot which are first come first served. Then we can dive deeper into design and pricing and source you the appropriate vehicle if you don't already have it. The reservation is non-refunable once final design has begun or a van or truck has been sourced.
Source the perfect rig.

We are Medium Fleet Dealers for Mercedes and have a standing monthly order for perfectly specified 144 and 170 sprinter vans. We also have connections at Ford, Dodge, Acela and Unidan. We can get you the rig of your dreams!
Finalize design.

Once your build deposit is paid we can dive deeper into design. In the initial phase we will quote standard cabinets and layouts that we have already built unless otherwise noted. The quote will not change unless you add, remove, or add customizations to standard designs.

Payment.

Payments are typically 1/2 down 1 month prior to the build start date and the balance on completion. For builds over $300K there is an intermediate payment required as well.
Many people pay with ACH, but not everyone. If you want to finance as an RV its no problem! There are multiple banks that we work with and since we are RVIA Certified we can build you a vehicle that is even easier to finance. The primary bank we use is Trident Funding.
If you want an RVIA Certified vehicle we must purchase the vehicle new from the dealership and sell the unit to you complete. There is a different payment schedule for this and we can take as little as 20% down with a finance fee.
Buildout.

During the buildout we will update you with photos if you request them and can save you behind the walls photos as well. The build completion date is never guaranteed but we do our best to complete it on schedule. You are free to stop by any time to see your rig and the progress made.
Insurance and adventure prep.

We have most of our clients insure their vehicles through Foremost Insurance. They are able to insure them for the full amount of the van and build for a very reasonable price.
Before turnover, if requested, we send our clients a list of "Camp Ready" items that they may purchase and send to us to have ready for their inaugural journey.
We will also give them a list of App's required to run their systems and that we recommend for camping.
Turnover and beyond.

Owning an RV is far more complicated than owning a house. We try and make it as simple as possible with video resources available online and an in depth turnover process that runs you through every part of your rig. We have you video it on your phone so that you are able to look back at specific parts of your rig even if you are out of service.
Once you are on the road we have a full time service center to help with any questions, troubleshooting, or upgrades.
We also founded UpfitterNetwork.com which is a resource that will help you find service manuals, service centers, and other important resources on your journeys.
