The Design Philosophy
Build Overview
"Our 170 AWD Moto Van is an adventurer van built purely for high-utility off-grid performance. We are the first custom builders to successfully engineer a separate, isolated garage capacity for three motorcycles complete with an integrated car wash station, shower setup, and dedicated gear storage. Alongside the garage, the interior incorporates a comfortable living space for five people, featuring a full kitchen, loft bed, and transformer seating."
Why Choose This Moto Van Build?

Engineeed specifically for trail riding and long-distance haulers, this build isolates mud, oil, and wet equipment in a dedicated 3-bike rear garage equipped with heavy-duty L-tracks and a quick-connect wash hose. Up front, it functions as a luxury mobile home that comfortably sits and sleeps five adults with an all-season climate system, high-capacity lithium solar power, 40 gallons of fresh water, and a full chef’s kitchen. It offers complete off-grid independence without sacrificing space, comfort, or gear security.
