Desert Hot Springs Van Repair, Maintenance & Custom Builds

Desert Hot Springs sits just north of Palm Springs on the I-10 corridor, with the wide open Joshua Tree wilderness practically at its back door and the Coachella Valley spreading south. The Mission Lakes and Hacienda Heights neighborhoods are home to off-grid enthusiasts and seasonal van lifers who consider the high-desert landscape their backyard. Vanaholic operates out of OCRV Center at 23281 La Palma Ave in Yorba Linda, near Savi Ranch and Costco, about 90 to 110 minutes west via I-10. We build the kind of vans that thrive in desert conditions: high-capacity solar systems, lithium batteries, proper thermal insulation, lifted suspension with all-terrain rubber, water tanks, and rooftop storage. We also handle collision repair, commercial upfits, and ADA conversions for Sprinter, Transit, ProMaster, Express, Savana, and Rivian. Email info@vanaholic.com or Request a Quote.

Reviews

What Our Customers Say

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

I had an existing build with a sketchy electrical system. Vanaholic redid the whole thing with Victron, Battle Born, and proper safety. Now I have peace of mind and full off-grid capability.

Tom L.Sprinter 2500, Electrical & SolarLong Beach, CA

1500W of solar, 800Ah lithium, full off-grid for weeks. Took my family to Baja for a month and never once worried about power or water. The electrical work is concourse-level.
