THE BASECAMP
144” AWD SLEEPS 2-4 GEAR FOCUSED
OVERVIEW
Essentials only
The Basecamp is the opposite of a “glamper van”. We stripped away the heavy cabinetry and complex systems to focus on what matters: storage, durability, and weight savings.
Designed for the climber, 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 for muddy days.
900 Watts of Solar
We maximize roof space to create a solar array capable of running induction cooktops and AC off-grid. No generators, no noise.
Space for 4+
We design safe seating and sleeping areas to include room for adventure. Travel and sleep in comfort and safety
5x5 Gear Drawer
The largest drawer in the industry. Holds double racks, crash pads, and any gear needed. Build on heavy-duty slides for easy access.
4-Season climate
Nomadic AC, Eberspacher hydronic heating system, and a hot water heater provides comfort and efficiency for adventures year round.
Full Galley kitchen
Dual-burner induction cooktop, stainless steel sink, a refrigerator, and soft-close drawers. Cook real meals without burning propane.
Recovery zone
Queen to King size mattress enabling length-wise or sideways sleeping. Combine it with garage sleeping or a pop-top tent to add comfort for the whole family.
