If you’re thinking of building out a van and road tripping across the west, take this a blue print. Might have to adjust for budget but this guy did it correct:

Chris Benchetler has influenced so many with his fluid style as a skier. Pack your bags for an epic journey around the west coast as Chris visits the many friends that he draws inspiration from. . . Surfers, Climbers, Artists, Skiers, and Snowboarders all provide sparks to the creative fire that is Chris’ path, both as an athlete and an artist.”

There is a super rad webpage dedicated to the build of Chris’s dream wheels. Please check that out HERE. The company that did the conversion is Smithmade Inc. out of Mammoth Lakes, CA:

“A premier van conversion and custom carpentry company based in Mammoth Lakes, California. From complete van conversions to hand crafted custom carpentry for your home or other projects our superior attention to detail is reflected in everything we do.”

Cozy wouldn’t ya say?

Here’s a bonus video of Chris doing a walk through of all the van’s features:
