The Premier Custom Camper Van Builder in Colorado

For most Colorado driving — including I-70 winter commutes and forest service roads — the factory AWD Sprinter paired with quality snow tires outperforms aftermarket 4x4 conversions. AWD is lighter, preserves your warranty, and handles predictably on icy passes. We recommend true 4x4 only for clients who need low-range gearing for extreme off-road access, like unmaintained mining roads above treeline. For your typical ski town commute or national forest campsite, AWD is the superior choice.

Every Forged Van uses internally routed plumbing. No exterior-exposed lines, period. All our water tanks are enclosed within the insulated cabin envelope over the wheel well. All freshwater lines run through heated zones. If you have your cabin in a comfortable warm temp, you’re water will work.

As with any equipment, conditions may change where it’s still recommended to run your van ‘dry’. If you’ll be in extreme temps and away from the van, it’s always best to play ti safe and protect your equipment.

A full Forged Van conversion ranges from $155,000 to $210,000+ depending on layout, electrical capacity, and options. For context, a comparable production Class B like the Winnebago Revel starts around $185,000 with far less customization and lower-grade components. Our builds use aerospace-grade aluminum framing, Victron lithium power systems, and sustainable materials like solid bamboo and Richlite — materials that justify the investment through decades of durability.

With over 300 days of sun a year, Colorado is built for Solar powered adventured. Throughout the summer, your van should constantly charge during the day, with draw at night for equipment & AC.

During the winter, snow cover can knock your panels offline for days. But a simple brush off and good power management should keep your van powered consistently.

We don't build units — we build craft. Our 80/20 extruded aluminum framing saves up to 2,000 pounds compared to wood-framed builds. Our dual-circuit hydronic heating is engineered for sustained sub-zero operation, not just rated for it. We use non-toxic, sustainable materials like bamboo and Havelock Wool instead of particle board and fiberglass. And every build is a custom commission — visit our Longmont shop anytime during the process.

There’s a reason why athletes like Alex Honnold and Emily Harrington, plus families across the Front Range choose Forged.

A typical Forged Van build takes 14 to 20 weeks from sign-off to delivery, but it often depends on current availability and complexity.

We don't rush builds and make sure each one is built to the Forged Standard. You’ll have regular photo and video updates so you can watch your van come together week by week.
