Van Repair & Custom Van Builds in Encinitas, CA
Encinitas has built a reputation as one of the premier surf towns on the West Coast, anchored by Swamis Beach and the historic downtown along Coast Highway 101. Old Encinitas and Leucadia to the north are home to the kind of van culture that has been part of surf and skate lifestyle here for decades. I-5 north from Encinitas threads through South Orange County and connects to Yorba Linda, putting Vanaholic's OCRV Center at 23281 La Palma Ave, near Savi Ranch and Costco, about 85 to 100 minutes up the road. Whether you are running a well-worn Transit as your daily surf vehicle or building out a Sprinter for extended travel down Baja and back, we handle it. Vanaholic covers maintenance, collision and paint, solar and electrical, suspension and tires, custom overland and camper conversions, commercial upfits, and ADA conversions for Sprinter, Transit, ProMaster, Express, Savana, and Rivian. Encinitas van culture has deep roots, and we are here to keep those rigs rolling.

What Our Customers Say
Three kids and a dog. Vanaholic built bunks, child anchors, a full kitchen, and easy-clean everything. Every detail anticipates kid-life. We've put 30,000 family miles on it and we're still loving it.
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.
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.
