Dicot Designs

When designing a van, it is important to consider how your van will be used and what might make the most sense, even if that may differ from popular van designs.

We'll often install large, heavy-duty gear trays under the bed for bike storage or other fun toys. But Patty, traveling with three dogs, needed to have an area her dogs could lay in while at camp.

We can't forget to plan for our furry friends when designing vans - if you don't, you may find they are constantly in your way as you walk through your space.

That's why we opted for a much smaller gear tray for Patty- so that her pups could have a nice Den to lay in and stay clear of traffic.

When it comes to the roof of your van, there's a lot you can do!

We put a roof rack on practically every van we build for lots of different reasons:
-They reduce how many holes you drill through your roof
-Offer great mounting for solar panels
-Lot's of modularity to work around fans and AC units
-Mounting locations for lots of lights, awnings, and other accessories

This is how we equipped Dogwood, a custom 170 Sprinter. What would you put on your roof?
