Ready.Set.Van
Custom van conversions for off-grid adventures. Our beautiful homes on wheels will set you free.
In our most recent YouTube video, Ben goes through all of the popular vanlife toilet options. And while the Laveo Dry Flush isn't the *most* popular, it is quite well loved by those who have had it installed. Seeing it wrap up these old leftovers makes it easy to see why.

This might be my favorite shot of a Ready. Set. Van. in the wild — and it's taken by one of our owners, Andy! Alaska in a van... truly living the dream.

Seeing our owners out in the wild, using their vans to their potential, makes us incredibly happy. This Basecamper has been on the road for a year already (somehow)! Thanks for the great review, Deddos!
Grease on your drawer slides? Great.
Grease on your pants? Not so great.
When starting Ready. Set. Van., we had the option to decide whether we'd build our cabinetry in house or outsource it. To Ben, it wasn't much of a decision at all — we could only do things to our standard by building everything here, in-house.
At some point, we'll likely do a whole video surrounding our cabinet-making, since it's such an important part of making a Ready. Set. Van.
Sleeping in the van is *the best*! So many of our owners swear that they sleep better in their van than at home — what's your experience?
A pop-up shower should have the same amount of thought put into it as the rest of the build. That's why, when we add one to our Basecamper layout, it looks like this! What do you think — would you want a pop-up shower in your Basecamper? Or is the outdoor shower sufficient?
This Basecamper is *nice*! And so is our new industrial space for filming these videos.
Sunday morning, Ben will be back on your YouTube feed with a walkthrough of a pretty special Basecamper build.

As Ben says, this van can do anything! This is the most overland-specced Hudson, or really any build, that we've done yet. Check it out on our YouTube, just posted!

Winter isn't so cold with the Webasto going inside!

King bed, walnut interior, full shower? Yes. Custom Sonos speaker mounts, giant garage gear slide, Pelican cases on the roof? Also yes! And a whole lot more.
Hop over to our YouTube to check out a tour of our biggest build yet - the Sprinter 170-based "Hudson," where Ben admits he might finally want to build something to replace his loyal Basecamper.

What are you putting on this heavy duty slide? 12v cooler(s)? Bikes? Boards, skis, inflatable kayaks? 400lbs of dog food?

Live on our own YouTube channel - everything you wanted to know about internet connectivity, but were afraid to ask! We go through the most popular options these days, which include WeBoost, 5G Antennas, and Starlink!

We hope everyone is having a wonderful little respite this week, especially those who are "at home" on the road.
This photo is from a year ago with Brandon's "shop" Highline doing its best to get snowed in among the evergreens. Hopefully we can recreate it again soon!

A little bit of snow, a little fire on the , and just a little bit of light left before dark. Getting snowed in while in a van is one of life's great pleasures.

What do we do when we design something that we're almost perfectly happy with? Keep iterating! See if you can spot one major difference on this Highline 2.0 (amongst the laundry list of other small, less noticeable changes.)

There are few better feelings, as a group of builders, than getting an email from a client titled "Season one in the books!" and then *THIS* photo. Along with this text; "Well, first season in the van went very well! Van made several stops along the way, including Yosemite, Zion, Moab, Indian Creek, Devil's tower, etc!!!"
We are so grateful to be able to do what we do, and photos like this just reinforce that feeling. There's also another feeling, starting with j and rhyming with zealous...!

Happy Friday, Y'all! We hope you all have a fun-filled weekend planned with all the right people. Here's hoping we find ourselves hanging in the woods without a care in the world, like these two love birds.
We took our most recent build, The Hudson, out for a ride through the New Jersey Pines, and Ben has one big question for our community. "If you had The Hudson for one day, what would you do?"
12/11/2023
A future client and her dog Gus came to see how life in the highline might feel. Gus is ready to hit the road right now!

These Expedition Boxes by .van.engineering turn our Hudson build (sitting on a Sprinter platform) into an adventure-ready beast. What would you store in these expedition boxes?
Take the road less traveled and find your next adventure in our biggest, "baddest" build yet, The Hudson!

We can't think of a better way to beat these cold🥶 Thursday blues than by hitting the road and finding a warm, sunny☀️ spot to kick back in.

Are you as excited about it being November 1st as we are? Don't mind us as we casually break out the nog (love it or leave it?) and quietly hum carols around the shop.
