Transform Your Sprinter Van in Aspen with Upfitting

Van UPFITTING

With nearly 30 years experience in the automotive aftermarket, White River Overland has leveraged our experience into van upfitting since 2017. We've always maintained our humble roots and uncompromising commitment to quality by employing dedicated professionals and providing them with the work environment and materials they need to deliver the goods, no matter the size or scale of the project.

Solar power and Electrical

We have broad experience architecting and right-sizing 12V and 48V power systems utilizing AGM and Lithium battery banks to power lighting, refrigeration and ventilation. We'll incorporate Solar Power, DC to DC charging and shore power to provide you a reliable future-proof power system.

Solar Power systems

Solar charging, regulated by a charge controller, can be incorporated in a few different ways. For new van construction, solar can be installed efficiently on the roof in conjunction with a roof rack, lighting, or an awning.

The size and layout of the array will depend on the size of the van, size of the battery bank, and co-existing with other roof components. Typical systems will range from 225W - 360W or higher.

Battery Banks

Depending on your power needs, we'll suggest an appropriately sized battery bank for your project.

We have experience with AGM and Lithium Battery banks from 12V to 48V systems. We build battery systems that are not only dependable and reliable, but accessible and serviceable.

DC TO DC Charging

DC to DC Charging is an important charging profile for any battery bank as it utilizes excess power from the alternator being provided to the chassis battery and utilizes that power to charge the auxiliary, or house battery bank.

Smart charging recoginzes AGM or Lithium battery banks and regulates power based on specific parameters, including state of charge and type of battery.

SHORE POWER

Adding an external power source can be advantageous if you find yourself in RV parks with 30Amp plug ins, or storing the van under a carport at your home.

This enables us to connect either 30Amp service from a campground, or standard 120V residential power to your van to power your AC (alternating current) appliances including your AC (Air conditioning) Microwave oven, or induction cooktop.

Climate Control & heating systems

Whether it's windows, roof vents, or air conditining, White River Overland can help with all aspects of your build. We've got nearly 30 years installing windshields and glass, so we know about the importance of proper installation techniques and adhesives.

Windows & vents

Roof vents and windows work together to move air throughout the van, mitigating moisture and condensation. Choose from a variety of sizes and styles of windows for your project from the world's leading manufacturers.

Insulation

A van interior may look great on the ‘gram, but peel back the layers and you’ll quickly find that not all vans are built the same.

In 2017, we developed our own process, utilizing LizardSkin Sound Control and Ceramic Insulation coupled with 3M Thinsulate to create a 4-season insulation system designed to not mitigate sound, but provide a comfortable indoor climate in all seasons

Diesel Heaters

Being able to wake up early at the ski area after a warm night's rest in your van may not be your idea of a good time, but that shouldn't preclude you from being able to keep a comfortable cabin temperature in cold weather. Maybe you just want to knock the edge off of a chilly morning before the sun comes out. Our team is Webasto factory trained, certified installers of diesel furnaces. We provide genuine Webasto North American parts and service.

Air Conditioning

A luxurious, oftentimes required addition to any van build, Air Conditioning can be the largest power draw in any project. It's one thing to have AC, but it's another to have enough power to run your Air Conditioner when off-grid.

Plumbing and Heating

From simple fresh water systems to recirculating hot water systems, our mechanical systems are built with the highest quality components. Even better, we make all of our systems field serviceable and accessible should you need to adjust for seasonality or provide routine service.

Fresh & Hot Water Systems

Do you like a hot shower? Or just want some fresh water in your van to fill a water bottle?

Our team can build water systems to supply hot/cold water to multiple zones. We only use the highest quality John Guest plumbing fittings and design our furntiture and cabinetry to maintain easy winterization and serviceablility.

Furniture & Cabinetry

Probably the most intriguing part of any van build is the fit and finish of the interior. Our master craftsmen build functional aesthetically pleasing pieces that are designed to maximize space and complement your active lifestyle.

Custom Furniture

You won't find any particle board or MDF in our builds. Instead, we use a combination of different materials to make functional, aesthetic furniture that's purpose-built to withstand the demands of exploration.

Storage & Cabinetry

Our interior skin built for White River Overland is comprised of precision, CNC-cut marine-grade birch panels wrapped in woven vinyl for durable, yet soft touch. Custom fitted transom panels complete hard-to-finish areas elegantly.

Flooring & Seating

Whether you're bringing the grandkids or friends, we can accommodate different types of seating configurations. Captain's chairs to sofa benches, White River Overland provides safe, modular seating options for your most precious cargo.

Seating

Designed to meet FMVSS Motor Vehicle Safety Standards for safety while providing modularity for additional seating makes the SmartFloor the most advanced floor system we provide.

Exterior components

With nearly 30 years upfitting vehicles, White River Overland is equipped to handle all of your exterior function and styling including wheels/tires, suspension, step bars, bumpers, recovery and more.

exterior Lighting

When it comes to lights, placement is everything. First and foremost, auxiliary lighting should be functional and usable. We like to utilize a combination of SAE Compliant lighting upgrades with brighter, off-road lights to complement your factory lighting.

Suspension upgrades

Even if you won't find yourself venturing deep off the beaten path, suspension upgrades will dramatically improve the ride quality and road compliance to your van. We work with VanCompass and can spec a suspension upgrade for you based on the van weight and expected usage.

Most of our clients find the factory wheels and tires to have a short shelf life before seeking a tire upgrade. We can make recommendations of several tires we've worked with based on your driving characteristics.

Roof racks & Awnings

Grab some shade and get a leg up.

Starting at the top, the roof rack is the foundation for mounting solar, overhead lighting and awnings. While the roof rack generally holds storage on a SUV or personal vehicle, the roof rack is the mounting system for your vital systems.

Enjoy refuge from the elements with an integrated awning system that attaches to your roof rack system.

Bumpers & Recovery

Essential to protecting the front end of your van from animal strikes, shopping carts and off-road obstacles, and an integral part for self rescue in sticky situations, our bumper and armor systems provide full airbag & sensor functionality and a place for additional lights as well as winch mounting.

Start Your Journey

It’s easy to go down the rabbit hole of vanlife and come away with ideas of how to make your rooftop yoga studio and faux finished cabinets.

At the foundation of every great van build is a robust insulation process and it’s one of the very first things we focus on when starting the build process.

A van interior may look great on a screen, but when you peel back the layers, you’ll find that not all vans are created equally.
