In 2018, Kevin and Emily Fannan took a trip to New Zealand. Little did they know that this trip would start the journey that has become Scenic Vans.

Today, Scenic Vans is a fully-fledged van manufacturer and rental company, with the ability to construct 6-10 campervans simultaneously. Scenic has an impressive catalogue of designs and models with a state of the art build shop in Rancho Cordova, CA able to produce high quality campervan conversions at extremely competitive rates.

When did you first realize that you wanted to become a campervan builder?
-
The owners lived in a van and traveled across the country for about a year. They loved their experience so much they wanted to give that feeling to others.
-
What sets you apart from other campervan builders?
-
Our speed, quality, and well thought out designs. Since we also have the rental side of the business we learn from the feedback our customers provide us. We are constantly improving our product.

An impressive shop yields impressive builds

What Vanspeed products do you like best and why?
-
We like using Vanspeed's 144 capsules. We prefer the Vanspeed product over any of their competitors and have used it on nearly every Sprinter 144 build in the last year and a half.
-
-
We also like the exterior Side Steps for Sprinter vans and offer them as a premium option because they look incredibly sleek.

-
What advice would you like to share with other van builders and/or people embarking on a DIY project?
-
Simple is often better, less is more. Patience and determination will get you far.

How did you come up with your company name?

When the owners were living in a van they had a sign above their bed that said “Always Take The Scenic Route”. We want our customers to enjoy their time in the van and see the scenic sites.
