About Us
We Are Passionate About Van Life and Off-Road Campers
Off Grid Customs has been a labour of love from the start. A company created by a group of friends with a passion for van life and off-grid living, based in Squamish, BC Canada.
Coming from a construction and custom cabinetry background, Our project leader Allan took on the challenge of gutting and rebuilding a C-class motorhome in 2015. While living in his newly renovated home, It became apparent to him that there were a lot of quality issues in the RV manufacturing industry.
With the idea of helping DIYers and dipping his toes into the van conversion industry, he set out with quality and innovation in mind. While working on a few small projects in a friend’s driveway, inquiries began to flood in. He quickly found himself working as the head project manager on a number of full builds, off-road campers, and more repairs and installs than we can count!
With the experience needed and the right team to do the job, Off Grid Customs was born. A company focused on customer experience and quality at every level.
Our Mission
Providing you with the highest quality off grid campers & custom vehicle conversions.
Our Future
