The Shasta is a custom camper van built with real wood and marine-grade materials, engineered using years of actual rental data to deliver what road-tested travelers truly need.
Scenic Vans The Shasta is a professionally built custom camper van crafted by Scenic Vans, a full-service camper van company based in Sacramento, California. The builder constructs each van using real wood and marine-grade finishes, avoiding laminates and particle board in favor of durable, road-tested materials.
Starting at $128,000 for purchase, The Shasta is designed for travelers who want a thoughtfully engineered build rather than a mass-produced conversion. Scenic Vans draws on years of real-world rental data to inform every layout decision, meaning the features included in The Shasta reflect what actually matters on extended trips.
The company uses its proprietary Porpoise Van Configuration System to ensure every design choice is buildable and practical. This approach suits travelers who value craftsmanship and long-term reliability over novelty.
Scenic Vans The Shasta appeals to renters who want to experience van life before committing to a purchase, thanks to the builder's Try Before You Buy program. Renting one of these professionally built vans gives travelers a genuine sense of how a high-quality custom camper van performs on the road.
It is a practical choice for couples or solo adventurers exploring Northern California and beyond.
