🚐✨ Introducing Skye – Our Newest and Most Advanced Campervan Yet! ✨🚐

After months of planning, building, and countless hours in the shop, Skye is finally finished—and she turned out even better than we ever expected!

This build combines luxury, functionality, and true off-grid capability, making her perfect for everything from weekend getaways to long-term adventures across Canada and beyond.

Some of Skye's standout features include:

✅ 150L Fresh Water Tank
✅ 100L Grey Water Tank
✅ Massive 840Ah Lithium Battery Bank
✅ Complete Victron Energy Electrical System with 5" Touch Display
✅ 720W Rooftop Solar System
✅ Fully Tiled Bathroom with Fixed Toilet
✅ 30L Hot Water Tank
✅ NomadicArk Rooftop Air Conditioner
✅ Flarespace Flares for Extra Interior Width and Sleeping Comfort
✅ Full-Size Bed for People up to 2m (6'6") Tall
✅ Two Swivel Captain's Chairs
✅ Large Fridge and Plenty of Storage Throughout
✅ Designed for Extended Off-Grid Travel

What we're most proud of is how spacious Skye feels inside. Every inch was carefully designed to maximize comfort, storage, and livability without sacrificing the freedom to explore wherever the road takes you.

Whether you're looking for a summer road trip, a mountain biking adventure, a ski getaway, or a long-term exploration of British Columbia and the Canadian Rockies, Skye is ready for the journey.

📅 We still have a few rental dates available this season, so if you've been thinking about trying van life, now is the perfect time.

Skyes final stages

Here at Get a Van Corp — how much can we fit on one roof of a midsize Sprinter?

Everyone said it wasn’t possible. But we said: a lot is possible. And apparently, it is.

This client’s setup included a roof rack, two 185W solar panels mounted side by side, (to hide them away), a 50cmx70cm Nomadic Ark skylight, and a 40x40 Nomadic Ark fan. The space between the skylight, solar panels, and fan was less than 1 inch.

It took 10 hours to get everything fitted up there, but we made it happen. We even still have enough room at the back for some Maxtrax. Amazing result.

The work was completed by Toni at Get a Van Corp.

We’ll share full photos once the weather improves.

Well… not exactly how I planned my week to go 😅

I broke two fingers, and my thumb had a deep cut across the back that went all the way through the skin — it needed 8 stitches.

A big thank you to the amazing ER team at Burnaby Hospital for taking me in right away and taking such good care of me. I truly appreciate it.

Work will be a bit slower over the next couple of weeks while I heal, but we’re working on finding a replacement “hand” to help out temporarily — and possibly even long term.

Things are getting busier every year. This year alone we have:

3 full van builds

2 trailer builds

Many partial projects

Daily awning installations

Window installs

Additional van seat installations

Electrical setups every month, including lots of solar installations

We are in serious need of more staff. If you know a skilled van builder or a talented hands-on person looking for work, please have them send their resume to [email protected]

Thanks everyone for your support — we’ll keep pushing forward 💪

Our newest member of the fleet has arrived — meet Sky ☁️🚐
We’re starting the build in the next couple of days, and we can’t wait to see where this one leads.

Right now, we’re designing a brand-new layout. This will be our first short van in the rental fleet at Get a Van, and everything is still open. We’re exploring ideas like:
• Storage that slides in and out of the shower
• Fixed wall layout vs. open concept
• A hidden toilet
• An awning for outdoor living
• Swivel seats
• A dining table with a post system
• 1000Ah battery for true off-grid travel
• 3000W inverter
• 700W solar system
• 20L hot water tank
• Wide flares for a real sleeping experience with a giant bed

since we rent our vans, we design everything with real travelers in mind — and we welcome you from wherever you are in the world to come experience the beauty of British Columbia with us.” 🌍

We’d love your feedback: what would you want to see in a short van build? Drop your ideas below 👇
First photos coming next week once the design is locked in. Stay tuned for ✨
