It all started when...

Dave (Vanlife's owner and former Marine) left his IT career, mortgage, and daily grind behind and traded 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 peoples' backyards before starting up Vanlife Customs.  

Since 2016, the business has grown and evolved far beyond what he could have imagined. Vanlife Customs now has fifteen full time employees working at their 21,000 sf. facility in Arvada, CO. In 2021 VLC completed their 100th van build. In 2022 they completed 40 more vans.

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

The VLC 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. Thank you for your consideration!
