Big Bear Vans got its start when the owners converted an old ambulance to travel with their three kids. That turned into creating several more conversions and custom builds for others!
But now they have a team of engineers, designers, and van builders, a CNC machine, professional equipment, and a big garage shop! Now they’ve converted about 50 custom vans, all different and unique. They even plan to sell custom CNC-cut van cabinetry kits, elevator beds, and showers via an online shop very soon.
Below you’ll see their signature Santa Monica model which sleeps 4 people between an elevator bed and a double seat! You’re going to love it.
