Our Story

It started in a parking lot in Boulder, Colorado. We were three friends converting our first Sprinter vans, sharing tools, swapping tips, and constantly asking each other: "How did you calculate your battery bank?" and "What's your budget looking like?"

We realized we were all building the same spreadsheets from scratch—wasting hours that could have been spent actually building. So we created one master spreadsheet, shared it, and watched it transform our builds.

That was 2022. Today, over 500 van builders across all 50 states use our tracker. We've expanded from a simple spreadsheet to a complete build management system with calculators, templates, and resources—all designed to save you time, money, and headaches.

We're still van lifers. We still build. And we still believe that the right tools make all the difference.
