Camper Vans hold their value much better than an average vehicle; especially when built on the Sprinter chassis and with high-quality materials like an OHV Van.

Question 15

What Makes OHV Builds Different?

Accepted Answer

We don't use wood when we build out the structural elements of your camper van conversion. This gives us a few specific advantages: 1. Our materials last longer: we build our vans using aluminum, carbon, and composite materials to give you top-tier performance and weight reduction all while creating a longer-lasting finish. 2. We don't believe in one-size-fits-all floorplans. Our engineers will work with you to develop a design that not only maximizes your space, but that also improves the functional storage of your van.  3. Our vans are lighter, which assists with suspension performance and longevity as well as overall drivability.
