Custom Van Builds & Van Repair Serving Escondido, CA
Escondido sits at the inland heart of San Diego County, surrounded by avocado groves, horse ranches, and the rolling terrain that leads east toward Anza-Borrego and north toward the Palomar Mountain Observatory. The historic downtown on Grand Avenue and the residential communities of Hidden Meadows to the north give Escondido a character all its own, separate from the coastal San Diego identity. From here, I-15 north is your corridor toward the Inland Empire and Yorba Linda, where OCRV Center at 23281 La Palma Ave near Savi Ranch and Costco sits about 75 to 90 minutes up the freeway. Vanaholic works on every major van platform including Sprinter, Transit, ProMaster, Express, Savana, and Rivian, offering repair and maintenance, custom overland and camper conversions, solar and electrical, suspension and tires, collision and paint, commercial upfits, and ADA conversions. With Anza-Borrego and the Ocotillo Wells SVRA practically in your back pocket, having a properly built van is part of the lifestyle here.

What Our Customers Say
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.
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.
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.
