Why Our Vans Are Different

Real Experience

Bjarne spends over 100 nights per year in vans built by the team, testing new ideas under all conditions so we know what works and what doen’t.

Mostly Custom

We combine the learnings from having perfected van building with custom style & adventure needs to make the process more efficient for customers.

Made for Adventure

We know that each van needs to perform in challenging terrain, weather, and daily use. Each van is built with the highest quality materials, both inside and out.

What Our Clients Have To Say

  • We can’t say enough about the experience of doing business with Bjarne. He is impeccably honest, well organized, responsive, and he truly cares about his customers. If you are thinking about buying a Bjarne Builds van, don’t hesitate! It will be one of the best decisions you’ve ever made! Communication was super easy; Bjarne is very responsive, patient and willing to answer or find the answer to any question. The process of purchasing the van was equally smooth, which is so important when buying such an expensive vehicle from across the country. But the best part was when we arrived in Oregon and actually saw the van and drove it across the country. The build is beautiful and so thoughtful, and everything was exactly as described. Some of the things we were wondering about (foot pump and electric pump for the sink, the woodstove, the composting toilet) all proved their utility in our first trip. Everything about the van is absolutely amazing.

    Jim & Gina

  • "Bjarne Builds designed and built our van. We weren't even shopping for a replacement for our existing van but when we saw this van we fell in love. The platform, design, and functionality for winter use drew us in. The live edge redwood and high quality design and installation of the conversion components sealed the deal. Bjarne and his team have continued to be super knowledgeable, helpful and supportive."

    Rob & Allison M.

  • "Bjarne and his team were great to work with throughout the entire design and build process. They take pride in their craftsmanship and delivered a quality high tech product. We've been super comfortable in the van and enjoy the homey touches incorporated in the design. We're Looking forward with off grid confidence to endless adventures in our van!"
