About Us

Back in 2015, I bought a minivan that was worth half as much as my mountain bike. I was transitioning out of a career in the outdoor industry that had a “work hard but play harder” philosophy and into business consulting, which I anticipated would consume many nights and weekends. Before accepting my new reality, I decided to embark on a 4-month journey through the Rockies and Baja California with all the necessary gear and supplies in tow. I loved the loosely defined and simple freedom of meandering from campsite to campsite and uncovering many gems of the west I had so far overlooked.

That trip never left my memory. As my new career continued, I looked to maximize my constrained adventures with local overnight trips to PNW volcanoes, coast, and high desert. I became fascinated with small campers that could be as comfortable in downtown Portland, OR as a campsite 20 miles from the closest pavement.

When covid hit, I took my laptop and freshly built Ford Transit for regular month-long trips. I witnessed growing numbers of custom built vans at trailheads. I couldn’t ignore an opportunity to help others enjoy the freedom vans provide.

With a passion for creating beautiful and functional builds, I have developed a strong skillset in electrical design, plumbing, and cabinetry. Located in Boise, ID, Point B Vans’ work is guaranteed to keep our customers smiling for years to come.
