Custom Van Builds

Velora

Work and Play.

A build that balances a 9-5 and chasing adventure.

Some vans are built solely for rugged off-road adventure, fully equipped for life off-grid. But why not have a van that can do both - take you deep into the alpine or the desert, while allowing you work a full-time job and log in to Zoom meetings?

This was the principal inspiration behind Velora - to have a van that could work hard and play hard.

Our clients Abel and Erin share passions not only for their careers, but for the alpine as well. As avid climbers and eager adventurers, it was important that their van could support them in a variety of ways,

Having multiple seating areas so they can remain comfortable throughout a long workday in the van was a must, as well as having constant internet connectivity with Starlink installed on the roof.

Not to mention the fact that Abel and Erin are big climbers with a large community, which meant hosting friends and ample storage for climbing gear were other key features to account for.

That’s why we opted for a convertible bed which allows the van to host up to ten people at once. And as far as storage goes, the driver side bench has ample storage for bedding, and there is a large, heavy-duty drawer accessible from the back of the van for tons of sport and trad climbing gear. Crash pads can be stored within the cargo rack located on the roof of the van.
