Our proprietary infrastructure is the base of every van we create. It reinforces all aspects of your van build along with the structure of the vehicle. Since our vans are 100% custom/bespoke vehicles, our infrastructure varies due to the design of your van. For a smooth and quiet driving experience we also include sound damping along with insulation for temperature regulation. These foundation features lead to a longer lasting, better performing vehicle.

Each Outside Van includes our premium interior package.
Premium Interior Package
Each van is furnished with full wall paneling, ceiling paneling, and factory headliner. These panels are finished in a closed cell acoustic foam and a strong and durable interweave fabric of your choice. Material upgrades, like Sileather, are also available. Each type of fabric has numerous color options, and all of our materials are tested and proven to last.
Light up even the darkest nights with six flush mount ceiling LED lights. Each van we build comes standard with these lights, with options to add lighting in the garage area, the galley area, at the slider, and more. See more lighting options under Systems.
Systems
Power, water, heating, cooling, and lighting. Systems are the heart of a van.
Power
Our experienced team will work to create the most efficient power system package for your needs. This option is a must if you plan on traveling off-grid and using items like a refrigerator, induction cooktop stove, aftermarket A/C, or a microwave.
AGM batteries are virtually maintenance free, provide solid electrical reliability, and stand up well to low temperatures. Each AGM power system can be custom designed to be as large or small as you need for your off-grid adventures. Depending on the layout of your van, we can either build your system into a custom closed boxes or installed underneath the chassis.
Depending on your van layout and your desired power, Lithium Ion batteries might be the right choice for you. Lithium ion batteries are ideal for running heavy loads for long periods of time, have short charge times, high cycle efficiency, virtually shockproof and great for heavy use. Though Lithium Lion batteries are normally more expensive than AGM, they have three times the lifespan of traditional batteries.
A power inverter changes DC power from a battery into conventional AC power that you can use to operate all kinds of devices. This option is a must if you plan on using items like an induction cooktop stove, microwave, computer charges, and more. The size of your power system determines the size of the inverter needed, however most of our power system run a Magnum Energy 2000 Watt Inverter. The inverter control panel provides crucial information about your battery’s charge status and volts and amps coming in or out. This information is essential especially when needing to strategically manage power levels while adventuring off-grid.
This is one of the most recommended features to add to our customer’s custom builds. By adding a secondary alternator, you add a separate charging system dedicated only to the systems installed by Outside Van. The factory alternator stays intact and charges only the chassis, effectively doubling the available amperage of the vehicle. Adding a secondary alternator is an outstanding choice for a fast charge.
Another way to charge your power system while on the road is to include solar in your conversion. Adding rooftop solar panels will add a slow charge to your system which helps manage the usage of your lights, refrigerator, and outlets. These panels can charge any type of 12-volt battery that we install. Since our Peak Series Vans are completely bespoke, the amount of solar (watts), location, and orientation are decided by you. If you are including a Safari Roof Rack in your build, we will custom design your solar panels into your rooftop metalwork. We currently offer Zamp solar panels which are handcrafted in the US and have a 25 year output warranty.
LEGACY SERIES: Solar doesn’t have to be complicated. Just like the name, the Legacy Series panels are tried and true as our most popular solar option.
NEW OBSIDIAN SERIES: After two years of research, engineering and design, the future of solar has finally arrived. As thin as a flexible panel, with the efficiency and longevity of a standard panel, and with more mounting options than any other solar panel system, Obsidian’s potential is as limitless as your creativity.
Portable Solar Panel Kits from ZAMP Solar set-up in less than 5 minutes and power everything you need from lights to fridges. Ranging in output from 45-watts to 230-watts, ZAMP’s portables can charge any kind of 12-volt battery that Outside Van installs. These panels are handcrafted in the US, have a 25 year output warranty, and come in a sleek carrying case that’s easy to store inside your van when not in use.
Each Outside Van comes standard with a solar plug installed on the base of the driver’s seat, so plugging into the portable panel while camping is easy, and adding portable solar at a later date is possible for all Outside Van owners.
Depending on your power system, you have the option to custom place 110V, USB, and 12V outlets throughout your van. This allows you to charge appliances and devices while on the road. Adding outlets is a must if you plan on charging cell phones, laptops, or batteries, or powering any electronic device.
Water
Traveling off-grid while having fresh water supply at your fingertips is essential.
Our water system package provides on demand fresh water anywhere you travel. The water system includes a freshwater tank that can hold anywhere from 15 to 30 gallons and in a variety of shapes that fit the van’s layout. If requested, we have an upgrade for a stainless steel tank that are custom made per request. To circulate water the electric pump is included pulling minimal power from the battery, and the carbon water filter provides peace of mind. To fill up your tank we install an external water fill allowing for easy fill ups with a hose while on the road. A grey water tank can also be added as an option.
Water System Package Includes: Freshwater tank, water pump, carbon water filter, and external water fill.
Lighting
Making your home away from home. Strategically placing interior lighting enhances your experience when spending time inside the van.
Every van comes complete with either six or eight (depending on chassis size) flush mount ceiling LED lights. These lights are included in our Premium Interior Package. They also feature a dimmer allowing you to change the brightness depending on the environment. This feature is often used when relaxing before bed.
Heating
Keep your van warm in the coldest winter conditions. The heating systems installed at Outside Van are designed to run directly off of the van’s fuel tank. Extremely efficient and powerful, these systems use very little electrical power with the potential to run for days without refueling. This option is recommended if you plan to camp in cold weather.
Adventuring in your van shouldn’t be limited to warm months. Our heating systems are built to perform in the coldest conditions, so you’re not left out in the cold during an overnight winter camping trip or when you return to your van after a day on the slopes.
We install a number of different diesel heater options with thousands of BTU of power pumping heat into the cabin. They run on auxiliary power and pulls minimal fuel from the van’s tank. Every system includes a control panel to easily control the heat settings.
The only thing that beats having a toasty van on a cold night is taking a warm shower, too! Our cabin and water heating system provides on-demand cabin heat, as well as hot water to sinks and showers. It runs on auxiliary power and pulls minimal fuel from the van’s tank. Every system includes a control panel, where controlling air and water heat settings is easy.
The ultimate comfort feature. Our radiant heated floors give customers to opportunity to dial in the temperature and comfort of their vans depending on the environment. Each floor is custom cut on our CNC machine to your unique van layout giving you strategically and efficiently placed heat in silent lines that are regulated to 120 degrees, giving feet a comfortable 75-95 degrees temperature under foot. The floor isn’t any thicker than our standard floor as the channels are precision machined.
Cooling
Keep your van cool in the hottest of climates.
Choosing to add a roof vent will make a large impact on cabin comfort. Outside Van installs Maxxair roof vents, with a 10 speed reversible fan, auto-open/close, a remote, and a rain sensor. This option is a must for fresh air circulation and ventilation, especially when sleeping in warm temperatures or using a cooktop inside the van.
