Sandy Vans Teams Up with Bjarne Builds for Ultimate Van Conversion Experience

Sandy Vans is proud to announce a transformative new partnership with Bjarne Builds, launching Bjarne Signature Line by Sandy Vans—a collaboration that combines Bjarne’s minimalist, functional design philosophy with Sandy Vans’ renowned craftsmanship. This partnership aims to deliver the perfect van conversion experience for adventurers seeking both efficiency and elegance on the road.

Bjarne Builds by Sandy Vans offers adventure-ready vans with streamlined, efficient layouts inspired by Bjarne’s own experiences as a van traveler. As a documentary and adventure filmmaker who spends over 100 days each year living and working out of his vans, Bjarne brings unparalleled expertise to every build. His minimalist, Swedish-influenced designs are known for their functionality and attention to the practical needs of van lifers.

“We are incredibly excited to partner with Bjarne,” said Alan Mondus, CEO of Sandy Vans. “Bjarne’s personal experience living & building custom vans provides a unique understanding of what it takes to create a truly livable, adventure-ready space. Together, we are raising the bar for van conversions with the perfect blend of innovation, style, and real-world practicality.”



Bjarne Signature by Sandy Vans: What to Expect

Traveler-Tested Designs: Bjarne’s extensive experience living in vans ensures that every build is optimized for real-world use, with thoughtful consideration given to the trade-offs of van living.

Minimalist, Functional Aesthetic: Drawing on his Swedish roots, Bjarne incorporates clean, efficient design elements that maximize space without sacrificing comfort or style.

Fully Customizable Interiors: Each build is tailored to the client’s needs, offering unique layouts that fit the lifestyle of weekend warriors, full-time van lifers, or anyone in between.

Adventure-Ready Features: Whether it’s off-grid capability with solar power, advanced storage solutions, or rugged durability, these vans are built for life on the road.

Bjarne, who began building vans in 2018, believes in the transformative power of life on the road. “Traveling and working from a van has changed my life for the better in so many ways. I’m passionate about sharing that experience by creating vans that make the nomadic lifestyle more accessible and enjoyable,” he said.

Sandy Vans’ facility at 9393 Trade Pl, San Diego, CA, will serve as the hub for this exciting venture. Clients can visit the showroom to explore Bjarne Builds by Sandy Vans and consult with both teams about creating their ideal adventure vehicle.
