These folks are truly passionate about building out quality and functional camper vans that can also be daily drivers. They have thought about and rethought about just about every feature. I am so impressed with my van and all the fun design elements. I’m also excited about all the possibilities for tweaking how we use it. I love the underlying Ford Transit...it drives and feels solid. The tour upon pick up was detailed and fun. Thanks for the whole experience!”

"I have looked for a camper van to replace my old syncro Westy for quite a few years. I came close to pulling the trigger many times, but nothing felt quite right. Then I discovered Vandoit by accident on a google search.From that first call with Ted to the last handshakes with Brian, Ian, and Jared the process has been easy and a pleasure and the van is perfect. I got a Quigley 4x4 and the custom Vandoit options that fit our lifestyle. I am very happy with my purchase and look forward to years of backroad camping under the stars.”

Everyone was extremely helpful during each step of the process. My biggest problem was that I have trouble visualizing designs and colors from a phone or computer screen. Even with that the final product came out great. People keep coming up to me when I get gas or park anywhere to tell me how cool the van is. They provide a lot of material to answer questions as well as respond quickly if I have other questions not in the included material.

Almost 2 years since purchase of our van. It has brought my wife, daughter, and I on so many adventures that we never would have gone on! Whenever I call, email, or even stop by Vandoit HQ they make my family feel like we are part of the family.Thank you for being such great, hardworking human beings VDI! You create so many smiles daily!

There’s nothing quite like pulling up to a remote, hard-to-reach campsite and enjoying everything a Vandoit build has to offer. Not only has our van taken us on unforgettable adventures across the US and Mexico, it’s a vital part of our business. We’ve driven over 75K hard miles with our 350HD Dually and it keeps on surprising us with its capabilities on and off-road. The VDI team is innovative, passionate, and authentic. They’ve been nothing short of extraordinary since we bought our van over 2 years ago.

The last thing they want is a disgruntled owner. I can't think of anyone who has taken possession of their van and been disappointed. Occasionally you may have the person who flakes out during the build process and decides to try and bad-mouth the company, but from my understanding they usually do what they can to remedy the situation. They are an amazing group of people and as an owner who has attended the last 5 or 6 owners xperience gatherings., I consider the employees and other owners as family. I think this is why you see mostly 4 and 5 star reviews. The 1 star reviews are usually those who never got to experience the joy and think they have a leg to stand on.
