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.
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.
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.
