Custom Camper Van Builder In Mesa, Arizona

• One shop, one crew. Nothing is subcontracted. The cabinetry, the electrical and the plumbing are built in Mesa by people you can ask about it, by name, a year later.
• You see it being built. Weekly photographs of your own van, from the first panel to delivery.
• The price is the price. Every tier has a published starting price, van included, before you talk to anyone.
• RVIA certified. That is what makes a Papago insurable and financeable as an RV rather than a modified cargo van.
• Veteran owned, with 51 people in and around one shop.

Four floor plans, van included

• McKinley: from $144,295, the essentials for short trips
• Zion: from $161,795, for week-long trips
• Olympus: from $183,595, our most popular build
• El Capitan: from $202,395, our top tier
• Bespoke: $250,000 to $350,000, drawn from an empty van

Prices include a $75,000 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter allowance. A Ford Transit averages $57,000 and a Ram ProMaster $56,000, so a build on either starts lower.

Built for the desert, and for cold nights

Arizona vans get cooked in Phoenix and slept in at 20 degrees. Havelock wool insulation handles moisture better than foam, a 12V rooftop A/C on Olympus and El Capitan runs off the batteries, and an Espar cabin heater on Zion, Olympus and El Capitan runs on diesel or gasoline.

How a build works

A call about where you want to go and who is coming, then an itemized quote, not a range. We source the van through dealerships we already work with, or you bring your own Sprinter, Transit or ProMaster. A deposit reserves your build and locks your pricing, you design it with the people who will build it, and you see it in 3D before a panel is cut. See all ten steps.
