About Scenic Vans
Based in Rancho Cordova, California, Scenic Vans builds custom camper vans using real wood and marine-grade finishes, deliberately avoiding laminates and particle board. The team draws on firsthand van life experience and data collected from their active rental fleet to inform every layout decision.
Their proprietary Porpoise Van Configuration System lets clients design a build online with the assurance that every choice is validated against real-world buildability. Financing is available, and the company also assists clients with sourcing and purchasing a base van.
Scenic Vans operates out of Rancho Cordova, California, and covers every stage of the camper van journey under one roof. Services include custom builds, a rental fleet, vans available for immediate or near-term purchase, and remodels for those who already own a van.
The team also helps clients source a base vehicle and negotiate the purchase price, removing one of the more stressful steps in the process. ### Try Before You Buy
One of Scenic Vans' most practical offerings is the ability to rent a professionally built van before committing to a custom build. This program gives prospective buyers real road time in a finished van, helping them understand which features and layouts actually suit their lifestyle.
The rental fleet also feeds years of real-world usage data back into the build process, so design decisions are grounded in how vans perform on extended trips rather than how they look in photos. ### Build Philosophy and Materials
- Builds use real wood and marine-grade finishes, with no laminates or particle board
- The proprietary Porpoise Van Configuration System allows clients to design their layout online, with every option validated against actual shop constraints and components
- Layouts are evaluated against real-world use and long-term satisfaction rather than trends
- Financing is available with approved credit
- Current models include The Shasta, available to explore on the model page
The shop and showroom are open Monday through Friday, with tours and build consultations available by appointment.
