“I searched high and low and interviewed nearly ten different van up-fitters in Oregon, Washington, and California, exploring quotes, timelines, and design aesthetic with all before deciding to proceed with David at BVVCo. Just over a year ago, he built us our dream van. He incorporated all of our functional asks in a very tight package at a reasonable cost in a beautiful build that is part art part home on wheels. It's allowed us to explore North America in a way that we had only dreamed of several years ago and opened up new dimensions to the way that we engage with the outdoors. More than all of this is just how incredibly devoted David was to us, our vision, and helping translate our vision into reality with the experience to gently nudge us toward a van that was even better than we had hoped and away from some of our preliminary design ideas that, in hind-sight, would've led to daily annoyances while also helping iterate other ideas to fruition in ways beyond our initial imagination. His attention to detail is the best in the industry. If you are looking for a bespoke and beautiful van that is worthy of your hard-earned dollars from a creative, hardworking, and caring van builder who is admired throughout the west coast amongst his peers, look no further than David at Buena Vista Van Co. Your van will be on-time, stunning, durable, fun, have tremendous value. As long as David is building vans, he will be my go-to for the next build and the one after that. If he built houses (or anything else, really), he'd be my go-to for that, too!”

I couldn’t be happier with my van build from David at Buena Vista Van Co.! After researching extensively, I chose Buena Vista Van Co for their professional yet relaxed approach, and David’s attentiveness from day one made me feel confident I’d made the right choice. Once my turn came, I dropped off my van and was thrilled to see my ideas become reality. David worked closely with me on the layout, listened to all my design preferences, and sent me regular updates with photos, allowing me to stay involved and watch it all come together. I’m a big fan of bright colors, and David was always open and accommodating with my vision.

He had some creative freedom on a few finishing touches, and he truly exceeded my expectations. The result was more beautiful than I’d imagined! Nearly two years later, I’m still in love with my camper van—it’s comfortable, colorful, and has everything I need. David even continued to be helpful after the build was complete, always quick to respond to any questions. Especially grateful for the time I needed help on my first trip and first experience with electrical hookups!

Everywhere I go, people admire the build. Not only has my van been fabulous for trips, it has become my go-to for day trips here along the coast. It’s my home on wheels, complete with everything I need to relax and enjoy the outdoors. If I were to do another build, I wouldn’t hesitate to work with David and Buena Vista Van Co. again. Highly recommend!

"We visited several van expos and talked to lots of custom van fabricators before deciding to go with BVVC and I know it was the best decision we could have made. David is thoughtful about design, offering the highest quality build materials and the latest technology, while helping the buyer decide about what best fits their needs. This is not just another van company. This is THE van company for anyone looking for a unique buildout of the absolute highest quality."

Buena Vista built out my extended MB Sprinter, and it’s absolutely amazing! I’ve had it for about 2.5 years now, and it has been a total game-changer. David is a miracle worker when it comes to woodworking—his craftsmanship is simply incredible. This van has been the best investment I’ve ever made and has truly changed my life.

I know I’ll have this van for a long time, but when it’s finally time for a new one, David and Buena Vista Van Co. will absolutely be the team I turn to again. Over time, a few small things needed adjusting—it’s just part of life with a van. David explained it perfectly: driving a van is like an earthquake on wheels, and things are always shifting and moving.

When I was visiting Santa Barbara last-minute on a weekend, I asked David to fix a few things. Despite it being a Sunday, he didn’t hesitate to help and got everything taken care of. His dedication and customer service are truly unmatched.

Thank you, David, for putting so much love into my van and for always going above and beyond. If you’re considering having your dream van built, don’t hesitate—David is the one to call. His prices are competitive (if not better) than others, and the quality and personalized service you’ll receive are second to none. You’ll end up with a better van and an all-around better experience.

Thank you, David!

"We wanted a van that felt like a second home for weekend getaways and road trips, and Dave delivered beyond our expectations. The attention to detail in the design and layout is amazing. It’s cozy, with a great kitchen and a comfy bed, but also super practical for long trips. We’ve taken it all over the West Coast, and it’s truly our home away from home. Buena Vista Van Co. made our dream come true!"
