ABEONA
The Abeona custom van was designed to be comfortable even on extended trips. It is loaded with creature comforts, like a stowable shower and a high-end kitchen complete with induction cooktop and coffeemaker. It’s powered by the SAGA 4V power system with a 9.6kW battery bank and 270W solar power, so it remains functional even for extended off-grid trips, and the advanced climate control system means it can be used all year round.

Wolf Den
The Wolf Den was designed to be a 4-season van for camping, skiing and cross-country trips. It can comfortably seat and sleep three passengers without feeling crowded. We particularly love the Bamboo paneling and Baltic Birch custom cabinets on this van build, and there is loads of storage incorporated into the design for gear and supplies.

Zen Den
The Zen Den was created for a family who wants to enjoy the best of both indoor and outdoor living while on camping adventures. We managed to get 5 sleeping spaces into the van by incorporating a rooftop tent and folding bench seat. The layout is highly configurable and slide-out rear kitchen saves space while allowing them to cook outdoors.

Meili
This van was designed for an active couple who loves skiing, so it was important that the van was equipped for icy roads and sub-freezing conditions. In addition to a fantastic heating and suspension system, the van has features like frost-proof plumbing so they can take a hot shower after adventures.
We are White River Overland, a small team of builders and craftsmen based in Aspen. Every cut, cabinet, and wire is done with care and precision, the way we would build for ourselves.
