VanLab

VanLab designs and manufactures a range of high-quality, aesthetically focused flatpack campervan kitsets, which we believe makes it easier than ever before to embrace the outdoor lifestyle. We enable our customers to assemble their dream campervan in just 2 days, with a flatpack kit delivered directly to their door. With our introductory product lineup, we are currently achieving up to $18.5k in weekly revenue, and looking to expand into a growing market.

VanLab delivers high quality and affordable self-assembly campervan conversion kits, flat packed and shipped nationwide. We believe we are an industry first, crafting our products specifically to overcome market barriers to entry such as customer time, skill set, product cost, and accessibility.

The $55 Billion USA RV market (2020) is a strong and rapidly growing market space.* VanLab has a product road map to enter the SUV, truck, and minivan markets, which have a combined value of approximately $500 Billion USD (2021). We believe that evolving attitudes towards travel, remote work, and domestic exploration are driving growth in this space.
