A blizzard-proof, fully custom ski van built to handle anything winter throws at it — down to −25°F.
Off-Grid Power
750W of solar charging 280Ah of self-heating Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries. A DC-to-DC charger supplements power during long storms. Fully off-grid, no shore power needed.
Blizzard-Proof Heat
Altitude-adjusting diesel heater, fully insulated walls, blackout thermal curtains, and additional battery & pipe heaters activated below −5°F. Comfortable living down to −25°F.
Engine-Heated Hot Water
A 6-gallon calorifier tied into the vehicle's radiator produces up to 190°F of potable water in 30 minutes of driving, auto-mixed to a safe 114°F. Stays hot for 24 hours — no extra fuel required.
Convertible Shower
A bench that seats two flips into a full wet bath and hot shower. Clip up the waterproof curtain, deploy the showerhead. Ski boot heaters in the shower pan melt off snow without wetting the floors.
Cabinetry-Grade Interior
Built by a trained cabinetmaker using the highest quality Baltic birch. The floor, walls, and bed are integrated directly into the cabinet structure — maximizing storage and minimizing weight. Every drawer is soft-close with locking latches.
Lift & Ski Box
WeldTec 5-inch lift, 34-inch BFGoodrich KO3 tires, and a custom rear ski box holding up to 5 pairs of skis. Built to handle buried parking lots and rough mountain roads without a second thought.
Maximum Interior Space
6'6" ceilings and 6'4" of interior width from front to back, top to bottom — a geometry only possible in a box van. More usable space than any Mercedes Sprinter of the same length.
Extended Bed & 72" Projector
An extended full-size bed with a 72-inch projector screen overhead. After a long day on the mountain, come home, cook dinner, and climb into a real bed for a real movie.
Remote-Work Ready
High-speed Starlink internet and a fold-out adjustable tabletop desk. Stay connected at any trailhead, or disconnect entirely — your call.
Full walkthrough — every detail, no filter.
"My name is Mitch Nodland. I build camper vans, and I like to ski. Every year, I spend about 1,200 hours designing and building the van I'll live in for the next winter — full-time for the season. Then I sell it, and start the next build. This is the sixth iteration.
Each one gets better because I'm the one living in it — seeing what works and what needs to change. I went to school for cabinetry. Every detail in this build reflects that training and six seasons of hard-earned refinement. In every shot you see in the video, there are six months of my life packed away cleanly in the background. It's tough getting rid of a home that holds so many memories — but I'm excited for what comes next."
This is the sixth van Mitch has built — each one refined by actually living in it through a full ski season. It's not just winterized; it's blizzard-proof by design. Serious inquiries only. If you're ready to stop chasing the snow and start living in it, reach out below.
