Custom Van Builds & Van Repair Serving Big Bear Lake, CA

Big Bear Lake sits at 6,750 feet in the San Bernardino National Forest, and everything about it demands a van that's built for elevation, weather, and unpaved roads. CA-18 Rim of the World is your scenic corridor down to the I-15 and eventually to Vanaholic at OCRV Center on La Palma Ave in Yorba Linda, about 90 to 120 minutes depending on season. From the Village District lakefront or the Moonridge neighborhood near the ski resort, your van sees everything from packed snow to summer dust trails. We build four-season camper conversions with real insulation, heated systems, solar and lithium, lifted suspensions, and all-terrain setups for Sprinter, Transit, ProMaster, Express, Savana, and Rivian. Collision and paint, maintenance, commercial upfits, and ADA builds are all in the mix too. Big Bear demands a ready van. Request a quote and let's build yours for the mountain.

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

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

I run a mobile coffee business and Vanaholic built my van around my exact workflow. They handled health-code compliance, the espresso machine power, refrigeration - I just hit go on day one. Best ROI I've ever made.

FAQ

Big Bear Lake Van Service FAQs

Absolutely. We serve Big Bear customers who come down via CA-18 and I-15 to our Yorba Linda shop on La Palma Ave. The drive runs 90 to 120 minutes. We build mountain-ready Sprinter, Transit, ProMaster, and other van platforms.
Plan on 90 to 120 minutes via CA-18 Rim of the World to I-15 South, then CA-210 West to La Palma Ave. In winter, add buffer time for mountain road conditions. We're near Savi Ranch and Costco once you arrive.
That's one of our best build types. We do full insulation packages, diesel or propane heating, four-season solar and lithium systems, lifted suspension for snow clearance, and all-terrain or studded-compatible tires. Big Bear winters are real and we build for them.
Yes. Wildlife collision repairs are something we see regularly from mountain customers. Our collision and paint work covers everything from minor panel damage to structural repairs. Request a quote with photos and we'll assess scope and timeline quickly.
