We have lived it:
We've been fortunate enough to spend a year and a half living full time on the road. We met a lot of people in our travels, and one topic that always seem to come up around the campfire is choice of adventure vehicle. We've also tried a few different vehicles ourselves to know what to look for depending on how you like to adventure. It seems that nothing is perfect for everything, but there is a best fit for each individual situation.
We have worked on it: Having spent a lot of time pulling apart, and working on converted vehicles we found a lot of nice looking cabinetry with questionable choices underneath. People who paid for high end work, that received mediocre components or questionable workmanship. Often times it is simply a mismatch between the various components that make up the entire system. With formal education in Industrial Design we are trained to really think about the entirety of what demands will be put on the vehicle systems, how it will be used, and to build accordingly.
We are passionate about it:
OK so maybe geek is a better description, but we really do enjoy curling up with a good instruction manual or two in our free time. A vehicle that can perform as an abode has much more to consider compared to a house. Sure you have the normal systems like structure, insulation, materials, plumbing, and 110 volt electric. Add to that all of the systems needed to perform off grid, then finally make it all work together and safe while traveling down the highway at 70 MPH. It takes a lot of time and research to get it right, and believe me you want it to be done right.
We want it to be sustainable and healthy:
Our accreditations in sustainability help to inform our product choices. The building materials, adhesives, and sealants used to build out a space have a significant effect on your health, wellbeing, and the environment. We research products and materials on a continual basis for off-gassing, sustainable certifications, recycled content, that are more durable in use, that do not promote mold growth, and more. Not only do we have to work with these items during the build out, but you have to live with them while occupying your space. We seek and build relationships with vendor partners not because everyone in the industry is using them, but because their product is top quality, safe and provides outstanding value to you.
We want it to look and feel right:
Our background in Interior Design brings with it the ability to create aesthetically pleasing interiors that are bright and warm with a modern aesthetic. Standing out from the rest. This means still enjoying some comforts of your home while adventuring, yet never losing sight that room for gear is important too. You never know, once you start traveling in this luxury you may decide to do it more!
