Built to last
the long road.
Every material spec'd for vibration, temperature swings, and years of use. Nothing chosen for looks alone.
R-13 walls. Cedar-faced.
Thinsulate MC200 fills every cavity — ribs, wheel wells, roof. Vapor barrier sealed before cedar slats go on. The result: no condensation, no mold, and a van that stays 30°F warmer than ambient on a January night in Flagstaff.

All still rolling.
I gave up a $2,800/month apartment in Denver. My van payment is zero, my build is paid off, and I've worked from 14 national parks in the last eight months. The desk setup Rig built is better than anything I had in an office.

We left Portland on October 3rd. We're writing this from a beach outside Oaxaca. The wet bath was worth every dollar — after six weeks of rough roads, everything still works perfectly. The build is solid.

I was sleeping in my 4Runner with the seats folded flat. Now I have an actual bed, my rack organized on the wall, and a proper stove. The Climber's Rig took three weeks to build and I've used it every single weekend since March.
