Outside Van’s Baseline is the perfect blank canvas for your DIY campervan build

With more brands cramming every creature comfort of home into their latest campervan builds, the sticker prices have gotten out of control. If a $200K+ model is out of your price range, but a from-scratch build seems too daunting, Outside Van has something that might interest you: the new Baseline.

In the company’s own words, “Baseline is your head-start into building your own adventure van.” Outside Van brings its considerable design and building chops to bear by tackling all of the hardest tasks of a typical campervan build so you don’t have to. That includes things like cutting holes in the chassis, rigging up a general “infrastructure” kit to attach your fixtures and furniture to, and installing everything from windows and vents to insulation and flooring. The result is a barebones campervan build that’s a little like a “roughed-in” home construction job that’s ready for your finishing touches.
