In a world filled with deadlines and routines, Dave Walsh, a former Marine and IT professional, embarked on a life-changing adventure that transformed not just his own path but the lives of countless others. Dave left his IT career, mortgage, and daily grind behind, trading it in for a year on the road in his first van "Betty White". After a year of traveling, guiding for NOLS, and doing handyman work throughout Colorado, Dave began to build adventure vans in people's backyards before starting up Vanlife Customs.

From its humble beginnings in Dave's backyard to a sprawling 21,000-square-foot facility in Arvada, Colorado, Vanlife Customs has emerged as a beacon of innovation and quality in the van conversion industry. Having crafted over 170 vans since its inception, the team's unwavering commitment to excellence has propelled them to remarkable heights.

At Vanlife Customs, our mission is simple yet profound: to craft bespoke adventure vans that not only exceed expectations but also become catalysts for unforgettable journeys. Grounded in a passion for quality, craftsmanship, and innovation, we approach each build as a unique opportunity to empower our customers to embrace the freedom of the open road.

Dave and the team continue to strive to build the best vans in the industry. Vanlife Customs focuses on quality, craftsmanship, and innovation in each build.

The Vanlife Customs team recognizes that a custom van is a huge investment and is usually a pivotal point in someone’s life. They take their work seriously and find joy in being part of that journey.
