WHY OFF HIGHWAY VAN?
YOU MAY GET LOST, BUT NOT IN THE CROWD
Back when we started in 2016, our background in engineering led us to approach our van builds more from the angle of airplane construction than that of a home builder. From overhead cabinets to wall panels to our galleys, we precision engineer aluminum and aluminum composites for the obvious benefits over carpenter-style wood builds. For off-road performance, we also innovate with industry-first designs like our Limited Slip Differential that improves the traction performance of the Benz Sprinter, and our finely tuned lift and suspension kits that expand where you can drive your van.
There is a simple reason that we build our DuraLight Wall Panels, Series A Cabinets and other interior structures out of aluminum and aluminum composites—these materials out-perform wood every time on the values that matter in van design.
Aluminum is 60% lighter than wood, for an overall massive weight savings that lets you carry more gear, climb tougher terrain, and get better gas mileage. And unlike wood, aluminum doesn’t absorb water, chip or rattle loose over rough roads, so your OHV van holds up more durably over a lifetime of rambling in the wilderness.
Aluminum is also 66% thinner than wood, which translates into better space optimization in a space that is very small to begin with—we’re not building 6,000 square-foot homes after all.
The end result is a van that is 1,000 lbs lighter than other vans on the market, more durable when taken on regular adventures, and more spacious for hanging out inside.

THE OHV BUILD PROCESS
Transforming a cargo van into a camper van is a meticulous process that demands relentless dedication to quality, durability, and attention to detail. At Off Highway Van, our process ensures that your van can handle any adventure you throw at it. Let's dive into how we turn a blank canvas of a Mercedes Sprinter van into your dream offroad camper van.

OFFROAD CAMPER VANS: BUILT TO LAST
Performance, reliability, and peace of mind while pushing the edge of adventure are the fundamental factors that guide us to engineer and build the highest quality campervans. To back this up, we offer a warranty and support program that is unmatched in the van and RV industry. All 2024+ Off Highway Vans come standard with a Lifetime Limited Craftsmanship and 5 Year Bumper to Bumper warranty.
OHV is the only van builder to offer a Lifetime Off Highway Van Warranty and 5-Year Bumper-to-Bumper Coverage. For as long as you own the van, we’ll repair, replace or refund any defects in the craftsmanship of the OHV work. With most other van companies offering a 1-year warranty, no one else comes close to OHV.
And in addition to covering the OHV work for the lifetime of the van, we also provide new van
customers with our signature 5-year Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty on the Mercedes chassis and all components included in the conversion of new OHV vans. In addition to the chassis, this coverage extends to components such as HVAC systems, appliances, solar systems and upgraded suspension parts.
​
There is simply no better warranty policy in the van world.
UNMATCHED SERVICE
From the first day we talk with you about a possible build and all the way through years of OHV van ownership, we take pride in going further to meet our customers’ needs and helping them realize their adventure dreams. In the design phase, we work closely with you to select among our wide range of custom options to personalize your van.
And if you need service or want to make changes to your van any time after picking it up, we will do whatever it takes to solve the issue or add the upgrade as soon as possible. In the end, we love sharing in the travel and seeing where our customers go in our vans, whether it is a tour of National Parks or an adventurous excursion far off road and off grid.

OUR HISTORY
Our difference is rooted in our history. It goes all the way back to when OHV founder Aaron Pfadt rebuilt his 1968 Corvette Stingray. A few years later, it was on to Detroit and his early career in engineering transmission systems for GM and Chrysler, while competitively racing Corvettes on the side. After that, while continuing to race, he got the entrepreneurial bug and launched a business that engineered and produced race suspension parts. It’s safe to say, automotive engineering is in our DNA.
