VACILANDO

Designed for your journey.

A One-of-a-Kind Mobile Space, Just for You

Vacilando is where your vision comes to life—together with specialists from every field.
The word “Vacilando” comes from Spanish, meaning “one who wanders without a fixed destination, savoring the journey itself.”
For us, building your van is already the beginning of that journey.
We hope you’ll enjoy the process with us—exploring, discovering, and creating, step by step.

Step For Your Dream Van

STEP 1:HEARING

You Are the Designer

We begin with a deep conversation about the van life you dream of.
From choosing the base vehicle to equipment and parts, we create the most fitting plan for your lifestyle.
Draw inspiration from international vans featured in the Vacilando Journal, or bring us your boldest ideas.
Even the “impossible” wishes that mass production can’t fulfill—we’d love to hear them.
Based on our discussions, we’ll provide a free initial estimate.

STEP 2:3D VISION

From Vision to Visualization

Alongside our 3D designer, your ideal space takes shape in real time.
We translate your ideas into detailed layouts, with careful attention to regulations, safety, and campervan registration.
This design consultation (paid service) allows you to see and refine your vision before production begins.
If you decide to move forward with us, the design fee will be waived.

STEP 3:BUILD OUT

Crafted with Precision, Built to Last

 

Once the design is finalized, the build begins.
Every hidden detail—insulation, wiring, structural work—is handled with uncompromising care.
We choose materials with respect for both people and the environment, ensuring quality that lasts.
Each van is crafted by hand, with dedication to detail and pride in workmanship.

STEP 4:DELIVERY

The Journey Truly Begins After Delivery

From start to finish, the build process takes about three months.
After handover, we provide aftercare and upgrade services so you can enjoy van life with confidence.
With a Vacilando van, designed and built just for you, your adventures are yours to define.

ーProduction Timelineー

Because we dedicate ourselves fully to each build, Vacilando produces only 2–3 vans per year.
All production slots for 2025 are already filled.
The next available start date will be in 2026.
If you are considering a build, please reach out early.
