Flippin Vans

About Flippin Vans

Flippin Vans specializes in the work most custom shops treat as an afterthought: solar, electrical, plumbing and heater installs on vans that already exist, plus repairs to builds done elsewhere.

For DIY builders who have hit the limit of what they want to wire themselves, this is the category of shop worth knowing about, and there are far fewer of them than there are full-build companies.

What they build on

• Mercedes-Benz Sprinter

  The default premium platform. Factory 4x4/AWD, tall interior, and the only chassis with a formal Mercedes upfitter program.

• Ford Transit

  AWD available, the largest US service network, and an extended-length high-roof option that suits family layouts.

• Ram ProMaster

  Front-wheel drive and the widest body of the three, which makes a crosswise bed possible without a flare. The value pick.

• Chevrolet Express

What they'll take on

• Partial builds & systems

  Electrical, solar, heating or insulation fitted to a van you already own.

• Service & repair

  Will work on vans they did not build. Rarer than you would expect.

Capabilities

• Off-grid power
