Wilmington, North Carolina
Two builders. Two rigs built from scratch. One company that came out of actually living the life.
Our Story
Vantra began as something we built for ourselves. We each built our own rigs from the ground up and lived out of them. One was a truck camper, the other a van. What started as something we wanted for ourselves turned into something we actually enjoyed doing.
We spent a lot of time figuring out what worked, what didn't, and how to make these spaces simple, functional, and reliable. Living in them every day made things pretty clear — some features mattered a lot more than others, and a lot of what you see out there just isn't necessary.
Over time, we realized we could take that same approach and build for other people. That's where Vantra came from.
Built From Experience
We've actually lived in them. That changes how we think about everything. You start to notice what you use every day, what ends up getting ignored, and what breaks after a few months of real use.
A lot of things look good on paper but don't really matter once you're living in the van. Other things end up being way more important than you'd expect. Most of the decisions we make come from going through that ourselves — not just looking at specs.
Two Platforms
We build on two proven platforms — the Ram ProMaster and the Ford Transit — both gas-powered, which keeps things simple to service wherever the road takes you.
The ProMaster 159″ is one of the widest cabins you can build on, letting a bed run side-to-side without flares, all at a length that still fits in a standard parking spot.
The Transit brings a taller interior height, meaning more standing room inside. We add flares to every Transit we build, expanding the sleeping area to a full 6'10″.
For buyers who want more capability off the pavement, the Transit is also available with all-wheel drive — added traction for gravel, sand, and rough terrain.
What We Care About
At the core of everything we do is trust. As we grow, that standard doesn't change. The goal is to scale what works — without losing what makes the product reliable in the first place.
