Santee Van Repair, Maintenance & Custom Builds
Santee sits at the eastern end of Mission Gorge, where the San Diego River opens up into a broader valley and the Cuyamaca Mountains start coming into view. It is a city of outdoor-minded people who use the Santee Lakes for weekend relaxation and CA-67 for quick drives into the backcountry toward Ramona and Julian. Vanaholic is the shop for Santee van owners who want their builds done right. From Santee, take CA-67 north or I-8 west connecting to I-15 north, and you will reach OCRV Center at 23281 La Palma Ave in Yorba Linda, near Savi Ranch and Costco, in about 90 to 100 minutes. We serve Sprinter, Transit, ProMaster, Express, Savana, and Rivian with the full menu: repair and maintenance, collision and paint, electrical and solar, suspension and tires, custom camper and overland conversions, commercial upfits, kits, and ADA conversions. Cuyamaca Rancho State Park and Anza-Borrego are right in Santee's eastern orbit. Request a Quote at info@vanaholic.com.

What Our Customers Say
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.
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 have 8 vans across my HVAC company. Vanaholic upfits all of them now. My techs are 30% more efficient because everything has a place. Highly recommended for fleet accounts.
