4 reasons we curve our upper cabinets ➡️

1. Bump control:
You will hit your head on your upper cabinets at some point. A curved edge means a “whoops.” A sharp corner could mean a trip to the ER.

2. Built-in cargo control:
The curved lip acts as a buffer that keeps your gear inside the cabinet, even after miles of washboard roads. Open the door without anything tumbling out.

3. More headroom, less claustrophobia:
The rounded corner opens up the space where your head actually lives. The van feels bigger, brighter, and way less boxed in.

4. The look:
Come on. It just looks too good.

We’re loading up the van for a fun time this weekend at Adventure Van Expos and Vehicles in Tahoe! If you’re in the area, come by! Would love to meet and talk vans!

FOR SALE.

My 2026 flagship demo van is now available.

This is a fully capable adventure van built without compromise, using industry-leading components throughout. After seven years of building custom vans, this build reflects my overall design philosophy and brings together the most intentional and refined design elements I’ve developed across 25 builds.

With the ability to seat and sleep four, this van is set up for real travel and shared adventure. It’s built for those who want the freedom to go anywhere without giving up comfort along the way.

The color palette was inspired by Oregon’s high desert landscape and plants, so it feels right at home in these photos.

Details, full specs, and more photos are available at the link in my bio.

FIELD NOTES — 001 // Eastern Oregon

For the first time in nearly 7 years, I have a van of my own again.

Somewhere between building vans and running a business, I forgot how much I actually enjoy being out in one. Getting back on the road in this new build has reminded me why I fell in love with these things in the first place.

Starting a new series called Field Notes where I’ll share photos, moments, and places from the road as this van gets properly used.

Meet Puma — a wild one inside and out.
Inside, it’s a bold mix of old growth redwood, paperstone paneling, bamboo cabinetry, wool upholstered walls, a powder-coated shower, and radiant heat floors. And to control it all: a Garmin x Artek system at your fingertips.

Outside, it’s built to handle the rough stuff — Van Compass 6.3 suspension, CA Tuned bumper with winch, and an ARB onboard air compressor to round out this off-grid beast.

Built by hand. Built to roam.

I’ll be showcasing a brand new build at PNW next week —
📍 Redmond, OR - Booth
📆 June 27–29

This is my hometown show, just down the road from the shop in Bend. I’ll be around all weekend to talk vans, check out gear, and catch up with folks.

If you’re at the show, swing by and check it out. Would be great to meet some of you in person.

Sit back, relax, let the beat soothe your soul, and swipe left through one of the latest Buena Vista builds to hit the road. This was the last rig built at our Santa Barbara location, and looking back on this marvelous fall sunset on the Ventura coast has got me missing that warmer weather and playing in the waves. Pulpo (aka The Pink Panther) features a powder coated interior shower stall, western red cedar ceiling and accent walls, white washed bamboo cabinetry and gold fixtures. Maybe the classiest Buena build to date! This build is up on our new website with even more photos and details on the build. Thanks for tuning in 🙏🏼
