Remote Adventure Design

Slider window, bunk windows and a fan for this fresh off the press Sprinter. Always fun to see a build get off the ground and love supporting the DIY van lifers out there!

Holy Saturday!! Couldn’t get this done during the week so came in to bust this out today. We’ve installed countless windows over the years but this is my best Arctic Tern install yet. Thanks to for their write up and inspiration on how to make the interior spacer.

Lit! First time setting up camp at night with full exterior scene lighting and dang, what a difference!!

RAD tested, RAD approved! The .essential screens and windows with built in screens take camping to another level. By day or night you can keep the flying pests out and enjoy your epic views in piece. We can have em in quick so let us know if you can see your van wearing some of this priceless kit. Happy adventuring!!

It makes total sense, right?!? Electrical systems in these rigs can get so complex but oddly, we came up with this rats nest to simplify the user experience and improve the functionality of the lighting systems. Stay tuned for what it’ll look like all buttoned up!!!

It’s been 15 years since a Festool sander has been in my shop and for 15 years I’ve managed with underwhelming sanders but I’m stoked the business is growing and affording investments such as this! Now back to work!!

Some fresh captains chairs from for this Sprinter. Also added the extended range fuel tank from .outdoors to give this van some serious range! Whatcha think?

Oooooh la la!!! Check out the new shoes on our spec van 😎 we have a supplier for wheel/tire packages so if you are in the area and wanting to give your van a fresh look and some of the best all season tires ever made, drop us a line! More details to come.
Also shown here is the leveling kit, rack and ladder, awning and windows.

Was super inspired by the photo my good friend Josh sent me of a little outing they took around their town of Helena, MT and it got me thinking that adventure isn’t determined by distance, budget or complexity but merely the willingness to go out the door and have an openness to the world around you. Also, found this poem that backs this up a bit from Le Guin.

We’ve had this van in a few times now and each time it just keeps getting tighter and tighter! Check out the F45S awning mounted to the HD crossbars 🤙 and as always compliments due to the sweet on the front and rear of this van. Let us know what you think? 🤔 not gonna lie, wish still made the !!
