Builders

Dave brings an extensive mechanical background to the nomad world from his time with General Motors. He designs and builds robust solar and electrical systems, split door setups, and is highly capable under the hood. I've relied on Dave countless times — most recently he replaced my power steering pump and alternator in a parking lot. A true life saver.

Zach and Racey have been building rigs together since 2019 and have a serious talent for transforming skoolies into beautifully cozy tiny homes — their van build portfolio is equally impressive. Beyond full builds, they also tackle remodels and smaller projects. And if you're lucky enough to run into them in the wild, Zach will bake you the most incredible cookies you have ever tasted.

Scott has been installing solar for 7 years and has the skills to work on just about anything — vans, buses, RVs, and even shipping containers. He has a solid reputation in the nomad community and leads a solar workshop at Northwest Nomads, one of the best gatherings in the Pacific Northwest. If you're in the western US and need solar done right, Scott is your guy.

Josh is one of the best metal fabricators I have ever met. His aluminum work is next level — we're talking SEMA-level precision on complex doors, roof decks, and custom storage boxes. If you need fabrication done right and want something that looks like it rolled off a show floor, Josh is your guy. No website, no socials — just quality work and a phone number.

Dexter created The Wander Box to help people live outside the box without sacrificing the comforts of home. His builds are designed to maximize every inch of a rig — all the creature comforts, built for life in nature. Operating out of a 5,000 sq ft shop in Kingman, Arizona, he's well known and respected in the nomad community for building over 5 unique Wander Box variations for clients.

AJ is your go-to powersports mechanic for whatever you're towing behind your home on wheels — dirt bikes, side by sides, jet skis. He also built an incredible slide-out solar system on his own box truck and is now offering that service to clients. Mobile operation in the Lake Havasu area, he comes to you. If you play hard on the road, AJ needs to be in your contacts.

Mike is a USMC veteran and custom home builder turned van converter working out of a cabin in Buena Vista, Colorado. One-man shop, low overhead, and some of the best finish carpentry I've seen in a van — at half the price of the big shops. Customers ship their vans to him from across the country and still come out ahead.

Brian has 11 years of experience and is an absolute master of large conversions — skoolies, box trucks, and cargo trailers. He comes to you with a trailer stocked with every tool imaginable. He even converted his own bus into a custom sound stage for nomad events. Also a great call for mini split installs.

Austin has 6 years of experience building vans and buses out of his full-service shop in Boring, Oregon. His wiring is clean, his woodwork finishes are hard to beat, and he specializes in electrical, heaters, and plumbing — the systems that matter most when you're living on the road.

Brian is a Union ironworker since 2013 who caught the van life bug and started building in 2022. His fabrication background shows — steel work, roof decks, and custom finishes that are hard to find anywhere else. Based in Los Angeles with travel available for a fee.
