basecamp build
Just as any great expedition needs a solid basecamp to setoff from, our basecamp build provides the perfect start for any van build on any platform. Through repetition of construction and continuous feedback about design, we have engineered and created the most cost effective, efficient, and comfortable van available. If you are looking for a longer or more comfortable trip, then our add-ons fit seamlessly into the basecamp build in order to provide everything that you need and nothing that you do not.
