Starting at$145,000
The gear-hauler. A Sprinter 144 with a queen Murphy bed and a cavernous rear garage and optional jump seats — built for couples who bring bikes, skis, and a dog.
Kinabalu
Starting at$150,000
The family rig. Seats four with a hangout-friendly rear dinette and an optional TV/console setup — a camper van that doubles as the everyday vehicle.
Parbat
Starting at$170,000
The flagship. Our Sprinter 170 build with an interior shower, full dinette, and room to run rooftop AC and a rooftop tent together.
Your Highland Vans Adventure Starts Here.
Two Ways to Build It. Then It’s Yours.
Every model is semi-custom. The layouts are settled, refined over dozens of builds, so you are not specifying a van from scratch — you are deciding how far to take one that already works.
Core is the value pick: the essential off-grid systems, properly specified. Pro steps up to the kit we would fit ourselves — a bigger battery, solar, air conditioning and the full water system from the start — bundled so it costs less than choosing the same options à la carte.
Then add what you want. Expanded solar, additional seating, exterior accessories and finish upgrades sit on top of either package, and we walk you through the list when you order.

01
Aluminum-Framed Construction
Our aluminum cabinetry and structural framing deliver the strength you need at a fraction of the weight of traditional wood builds, maximizing payload for gear while eliminating the rot, rust, and flex that plague conventional conversions.
02
Premium Electrical & Systems
We spec only best-in-class components: Victron power management, Lithionics lithium batteries, and marine-grade wiring throughout. That means true off-grid capability with the kind of reliability you'd expect from an expedition ready campervan.
03
True Four-Season Capability
Thinsalate insulation, thermally broken windows, a diesel heating system, 48v AC and fully insulated water lines mean you can chase powder in January as confidently as you chase trails in July. No winterizing, no frozen tanks, no compromises.
04
Proprietary Murphy Bed System
Our in-house-designed Murphy bed transforms the van from living room to bedroom in seconds, giving you a full-size sleep platform at night and a spacious lounge, workspace, or gear garage by day.
05
Configurable to Your Adventure
Start with our core model and add exactly the options you need, or step up to the fully-loaded Pro configuration and get everything dialed from day one.
06
Seating for the Whole Crew
Every Highland Vans layout can be configured with additional passenger seating, so you can bring kids, dogs, or riding buddies along without sacrificing living space.
07
Rooftop Tent Option
Add a rooftop tent to any build and sleep two more without giving up a square inch of interior space.

I want a van to drive my 5-year-old … to school and activities, to use it as my office, and to take a weekend escape in the PNW and beyond. … Airoki is the exact layout I want. A Sprinter AWD is the only choice for me given the condition of the city I live in. … with the budget I have, Highland Van built me a van that goes beyond my expectations; I appreciate the professional team, the flexibility, honesty, and kindness.

We could not be happier with Highlands Vans quality and the build out collaboration. … Highland Vans listened to our ideas and made them better. The result is a highly functional buildout 5 years, 34 states and 75,000 miles later. … The team is highly skilled, trust worthy and stands behind their product. We are proud customers.

I couldn't be any more happy that I picked Highland Vans to build my van! From the very beginning to delivery of the vehicle they were AMAZING! … The craftsmanship is top notch!!! Every cut is perfect, my windows are so sleek, and the electrical and plumbing equipment is the best! I did not need to plug in once for 2 weeks.

I originally purchased a new Sprinter with the intention of building it out myself. … once I visited their shop, the quality of their products completely exceeded my expectations. … I was pleasantly surprised by how competitive their pricing was for a complete, turnkey build. … my build wouldn't have been possible if they hadn't agreed to take my van in immediately, allowing me to hit the road for my trip south just six weeks later.

The whole team is very professional … They did amazing job for me. Don't waste time going to big camper dealers. The difference between them and companies like Highland Vans are like day and night.

We had a great experience working with Highland Vans on our camper build. … While the build did take longer than we initially expected, the final result was absolutely worth the wait. … If you’re considering a custom van build and want something made with quality materials and attention to detail, we would definitely recommend reaching out.
