Carlsbad Van Repair, Maintenance & Custom Builds
Carlsbad strikes a balance that few SoCal cities can match: world-class beaches within walking distance of the village, and Anza-Borrego just an hour east through the mountains. From the Village neighborhood along Carlsbad Boulevard to the newer planned communities near Bressi Ranch, residents here use vans for everything from surf runs down PCH to proper overland missions into the Cleveland National Forest Laguna Mountains. I-5 north from Carlsbad connects through Orange County to Yorba Linda and our OCRV Center at 23281 La Palma Ave, near Savi Ranch and Costco, in about 90 minutes. Vanaholic serves Carlsbad van owners with the full range of services: van repair and maintenance, custom camper and overland conversions, solar and electrical, suspension and tires, collision and paint, commercial upfits, and ADA conversions. We cover every major brand including Sprinter, Transit, ProMaster, Express, Savana, and Rivian. Whether your van is a weekend beach cruiser or a full off-grid desert expedition rig, we build it right.

What Our Customers Say
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.
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.
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.
