HOW IT WORKS
02
WE MAKE
A PLAN

GETTING THE PARTS
After compiling a list of things we'll need for your project, we will send you a list of parts for you to purchase.

WE START BUILDING
Timing varies by project, but we'll never keep
your van longer than
we need to.
05
PAY &
DRIVE
Make your final
payment and your van is
ready to go!
WHAT THEY SAY
All around a rock solid guy with a huge and generous heart. His wife Sara is very helpful and responsive to our communication. Cannot recommend The Van Plan highly enough.
