Philadelphia · Sequoia + Salt
Custom-built campervans for Philadelphia, the Main Line, South Jersey, and the Delaware Valley. 90 minutes from Center City.
MercedesDrive Times
Our Manasquan shop sits 90 minutes from Center City via the Turnpike or 195. For Philadelphia-area customers, that means weekend shop visits, in-person consultation, and someone you can actually drive to when the van needs anything later.
Schuylkill to NJ Turnpike north. The Turnpike-to-195 route is fastest most days; Garden State Parkway scenic.
Bryn Mawr / Wayne / Villanova area. We see a lot of Main Line customers building for Adirondack and Maine summer trips.
South Jersey customers have the shortest hop — 295 north then east on 195. Common for shop tours.
Delaware Valley customers come up regularly. The DE/PA tax differential makes a New Jersey build worth the drive.
Why Philly Customers Come Here
Philadelphia-area campervan buyers used to face a tough choice: settle for a mass-market dealer build or ship a van to a custom builder in Colorado, Utah, or the Pacific Northwest. We're the alternative. A real shop, 90 minutes from Center City, that builds premium custom campervans using current-generation systems — lithium since 2021, DC-native climate, no propane.
Most of our Philadelphia-area customers are weekend explorers. Pine Barrens overnighters, Pocono trips, Adirondack runs, beach access at Cape May or the Outer Banks. The Scout is the most-popular build in this region — its east-west lift bed and under-bed storage swallow bikes, surfboards, kayaks, and skis while still leaving a full bed at night.
For customers who want maximum living space, the Loft with its electric lift bed transforms into a full lounge during the day — ideal for longer trips and remote work setups.
What We Build
Our signature builds: Scout (east-west lift bed on Sprinter 144), Loft (electric lift bed + lounge), and the Big Ripper truck camper (from $34K). Start from a proven build, customize finishes and systems around how you travel.

Philadelphia-area campervan owners don't have a lot of premium service options nearby — most builders are far away, and dealer-level work isn't built for premium-tier systems. Our service center in Manasquan handles every major builder's vans plus our own builds, with 1,000+ vans serviced to date.
If you bought a van elsewhere and need NJ-based ongoing support — battery swaps, solar additions, electrical upgrades, warranty work the original builder won't fly out for — we're the closest premium-tier shop. Both new builds and existing-van work are scheduled the same way.
