True Custom Builds
Big Bear Vans is a fully custom engineering company where we create any configuration and style you want. Instead of pre-built layouts and generic templates, we customize your entire campervan from scratch. Here's what you can choose:
Ceiling, walls, and flooring kits in different colours and textures.
Space-saving elevator bed front or rear.
Kitchen with different customized cabinets and countertops.
Lightweight Aluminum bathrooms in different sizes.
Swivel seats or extendable benches.
Exterior upgrades like suspension, wheels, tires, awning, storage boxes, etc.
We're small, but high-tech. That's why we can customize layouts and features other shops won't even touch.
Post Build Support
From first call to last key handover, we guide and support you at every step. Unlike other RV dealers, Big Bear Vans provides great after-sales support to its customers. We offer:
1-year or 3-year extended warranty on our craftsmanship.

CNC Technology
Our Big Bear workshop is equipped with the latest industrial CNC technology. At our workshop:
A team of 5+ designers uses CAD/CAM software to model every part of your van.

We have several 3D scanners for precise measurements.
The result? A fully custom campervan, exactly the way you want.
