Van 01
The Beginning of Humble Road
Van 01 began with a desire to build the perfect van for my wife, June, who disliked the claustrophobic nature of manufactured vans. It was to be our own personal travel van.
The design objective was to maintain a feeling of spaciousness. This was accomplished with uninterrupted sightlines from front to back. Wide aisles and attention to form whereby each plane was stepped or jogged off adjacent planes to provide a feeling of depth. We called this van “the Class A of Class B’s.”
Beautiful moments, by design.
Unencumbered wide open sense of space. The Class A of Class B's!
A shower? A walkthrough? Storage? Yes. You decide.
You might have to remind yourself that you are in a van...
Out of sight, out of mind. There when you need it.
Just the right combination of color, texture and material creates a dramatic effect.

The lounge and sleeping quarters moved up front with a view.
