OVERVIEW

Essentials only, upgrade at any time

The Basecamp is the opposite of the “glamper van”. We stripped away heavy cabinetry, complex systems, and fragile surfaces to focus on what actually matters: storage, durability, and weight savings.

Designed for the climber, mountain biker, or skier who spends more time outside the van than inside it. It features a massive gear garage, a modular bed system, and a wash-down station that demands to be used.

Inside of a garage with a mountain bike, skateboards, climbing shoes, and a coiled climbing rope.

Prioritize cargo over clutter. The rear garage fits 4 mountain bikes, crash pads, and more. We maximize the open space so you never have to leave a toy behind.

Oversized gear Garage

Interior of a camper van with wooden paneling, a bed with black pillows, windows on three sides, a small refrigerator, and a bench with a rope on the right side.

Bring the whole crew. Features a fixed King or Queen platform bed for the main sleepers, paired with an optional sleeper bench system below to accommodate friends or family.

Space for 4+

The largest drawer in the industry. Holds double racks, crash pads, and any gear needed. Build on heavy-duty slides for easy access.

optional 6x5 Drawer

A control panel with a digital display, switch buttons, and a small black device mounted on a light wooden wall in a room.

Just because it’s rugged doesn’t mean it’s cold. An efficient Eberspacher heating system and Maxxfan 7500k provide comfort and efficiency for adventures year-round.

4-Season climate

Interior view of a vehicle's ceiling showing a wooden panel, a metal frame, and a wooden shelf with a small purple sticker labeled 'Antitogray'.

If you know you know. An integrated fingerboard mounted above the slider door allows for zero-friction training on rest days or warm-ups at the crag.

Designed to grow with you. This van is pre-wired to become a Dreamcatcher or Advanced Basecamp. Add Starlink, extra add-ons, or custom features down the road without tearing down walls.
