Custom Van Builds & Van Repair Serving Cathedral City, CA

Cathedral City anchors the central Coachella Valley between Palm Springs and Rancho Mirage, where the Sonoran Desert meets the base of the San Jacinto Mountains. Desert Highlands and Cathedral Canyon are neighborhoods where van owners stage for Joshua Tree National Park, the Coachella Valley Preserve, or the tramway up to the Mount San Jacinto Wilderness. Vanaholic runs out of OCRV Center at 23281 La Palma Ave in Yorba Linda, near Savi Ranch and Costco, about 90 to 110 minutes west on I-10. We know desert van builds, and we do them right: high-output solar systems with large lithium banks, thermal insulation for triple-digit days, suspension and tires for sandy washes and rough desert tracks, plus collision repair, paint, and commercial upfits for Sprinter, Transit, ProMaster, Express, Savana, and Rivian. Request a Quote and we will design a build that fits how you actually live out here.

What Our Customers Say

Vanaholic built our dream adventure van from scratch. The attention to detail is unreal - every system works flawlessly two years later. The team listened to what we actually needed and didn't try to upsell us on anything.

Jessica M.Sprinter 2500 4x4, Full Camper ConversionNewport Beach, CA

Insurance claim after a parking lot accident. Vanaholic handled everything with my insurance company, gave me a loaner, and the van came back better than new. Couldn't tell anything ever happened.

Sarah W.Sprinter 2500, Collision RepairPasadena, CA

Vanaholic worked with my VA benefits to convert my dad's van for wheelchair access. NMEDA compliant, lift works perfectly, and the team treated us like family throughout the process.

Yes. Cathedral City customers drive west on I-10 to reach our OCRV Center shop in Yorba Linda in about 90 to 110 minutes. We handle everything from routine van maintenance to full custom overland builds for Sprinter, Transit, ProMaster, and other platforms.
About 90 to 110 minutes west on I-10 to CA-57 north, then exit La Palma Ave and head west to 23281 La Palma Ave near the Savi Ranch Costco. Email info@vanaholic.com before you come so we have your appointment confirmed and ready.
Yes. Cooling system service, fan upgrades, and thermal insulation installs are part of what we do for desert climate van owners. We also look at how your electrical loads contribute to heat buildup and optimize the system to reduce interior temperatures in extreme desert heat.
That is a classic Joshua Tree build. We lift the suspension, add all-terrain tires with appropriate sidewall protection, install a high-output solar system for off-grid stays, and configure the interior for desert camping comfort. Many of our builds come through specifically for Joshua Tree use.
