Custom Van Builds

Agave

A van inspired by the desert - a place for both peace and adventure.

Agave.

Agave is a van that aims to bring you to beautiful places while providing a comfortable, reliable place to call home. Built by Dicot Designs, a boutique van builder based in Boulder, CO, Agave is truly a one-of-a-kind van that is ready to hit the road.

This custom build is on a brand new 2024 Mercedes Benz Sprinter 2500, 144” RWD, and includes the factory 5 year, 100k mile warranty.

While the aesthetics of the van are the first thing you’ll see, when you look under the hood you’ll find a truly durable and capable home on wheels, whether you are a weekend warrior or aspiring full-timer.

With 33 gallons of fresh water, a hot water heater, Webasto diesel heater and robust 5kWh Ecoflow power system, you can rest assured you’ve got all that you need to go off-grid.

And yet, comfort was a core tenant behind the design of this van. with a plethora of storage, a heavy-duty bike tray, queen-size memory foam mattress, large countertop and seating for four, this van effortlessly transitions from rugged adventure vehicle to rainy-day cocoon.
