Fort Collins, Colorado, United States

Details

Vanworks is one of the longest-standing, most reputable adventure-van builders in the United States, specializing in RVIA-certified Sprinter and Transit conversions. Based in Loveland, Colorado, Vanworks operates as both a builder and a full dealership, giving customers a streamlined, one-stop experience—from van sourcing to design to delivery.

Founded in 1978, Vanworks is a pioneer in the conversion space. Their history stretches back to the earliest days of custom vans, and while the styling and technology have evolved dramatically, the company’s emphasis on craftsmanship, safety, and reliability has remained constant. Their decades of experience make them one of the most established Class B RV builders in the country.

Vanworks is RVIA Certified and also a Mercedes-Benz Expert Upfitter, a status awarded to builders who meet strict engineering and safety standards on the Mercedes Sprinter chassis. This dual certification places Vanworks among a small group of elite, vetted van builders qualified to execute compliant, warrantied conversions.

The company offers:

  • Turnkey Class B RV builds on Mercedes Sprinter and Ford Transit platforms

  • Pre-built inventory for buyers who want fast delivery

  • A lineup of modular, repeatable conversion models

  • Custom features and accessories through their retail services

  • Van rentals for customers wanting to try before they buy

  • Sourcing services to help buyers secure the right new or used van chassis

Vanworks’ conversions prioritize durability, off-grid capability, and outdoor-oriented functionality. Their builds commonly feature sleeping setups, integrated storage, kitchenettes, electrical systems, water systems, insulation, and heating/cooling solutions designed for year-round adventure travel.

Because Vanworks operates as a dealership as well as a builder, they handle titling, registration, and RV certification from end to end. This reduces friction for customers and ensures the vehicle is delivered fully compliant for insurance, financing, and nationwide travel.

With nearly 50 years of experience, a reputation for consistent quality, and the backing of major manufacturer certifications, Vanworks is a strong option for buyers seeking a professionally built, road-ready adventure van that meets RV industry standards. They are especially well suited for outdoor enthusiasts, full-time travelers, and anyone looking for a Class B RV alternative to traditional tiny home living.
