Adventure & Travel Van Customization

Exterior and Interior Van Customization Service

American Van Works, a Division of American Trucks and Vans, in Stanton, California

At American Trucks and Vans in Stanton, CA, we turn dream vans into reality. For decades, we’ve been building custom adventure vans, travel vans, and overland vans that reflect their owners’ lifestyles — whether for weekend getaways, extended road trips, or full-time van life. With over 1,000 vans customized, we’ve learned that no two builds are alike. Your imagination sets the limit.

Built for Comfort, Utility, and Adventure

We specialize in adventure van and travel van customization that transforms stock vans into fully functional recreational vehicles. From interiors designed for sleeping, cooking, and relaxing, to solar systems, storage, and rooftop gear, we make sure your van supports the way you travel.

Whether you’re exploring National Parks, taking your family on a cross-country trip, or chasing the surf along the California coast, we deliver thoughtful designs and precision installations that hold up to the journey.
