weekendvans Carlsbad, CA. Campers for people who want to get out for the weekend.

10/26/2026

A day at camp when the temperatures start to drop.

Something good cooking, and everything you need tucked away in its place. Brisk mornings, warm meals, and a little extra time spent hanging out in the van.

It’s the everyday moments that make having a home on wheels so good.

Coffee just tastes better from a yeti cup when you’re somewhere new. Slow mornings, fresh brews, and no rush to be anywhere. Just one of the little things we love about life on the road. ☕️

Riff was delivered last week to Blair and Marco! Between mountain adventures and city living, these seasoned van lifers were ready to downsize without sacrificing the things they love about life on the road. A smaller footprint with everything they need and nothing they don’t.

Welcome to the , Blair and Marco! We can’t wait to see where Riff takes you next.

Camp mornings. Big breakfasts, fresh coffee, and slow starts. No alarms, no rush, just enjoying the little things.

A roof rack is great, but making it work for your specific needs is even better.

For this build, we added crossbars to the existing roof rack, creating mounting points for a rooftop cargo box. It’s a simple addition that opens up even more storage for skis, snowboards, camping gear, and all the extras that come along for the adventure.

The Basecamp. The build that started it all and continues to be one of our favorites.

Designed with families in mind, our Basecamp seats 5 and sleeps 4–5, with two aluminum bunk beds, factory Mercedes seating, and plenty of room for all the gear that comes along for the ride.

What comes standard? A solar-powered electrical system, lithium battery, dual-zone electric cooler/freezer, MaxxAir fan, 20-gallon water tank, outdoor heated shower, insulated walls and ceiling, interior lighting, and smart storage throughout.

And because everyone’s adventures look a little different, we offer options to add more seating, upgraded electrical, cabin heat, and other features as needed.

The whole idea? Keep it simple, keep it affordable, and get more families outside.

Everything you need, nothing you don’t.

Side steps have quickly become a staple on AWD vans, and for good reason.

With Mercedes raising the chassis roughly another inch compared to the previous 4x4 models, the added height brings some great benefits when it comes to ground clearance and ride comfort. But that extra height? Not always so great for little legs, four-legged passengers, or anyone climbing in and out multiple times a day.

Side steps make everyday use that much easier, especially when your van doubles as the family adventure vehicle. Whether it’s school drop-offs, beach days, or weekend trips, it’s one of those simple additions you’ll appreciate every single day.

A heated outdoor shower is pretty amazing, but is it always necessary? Especially here in Southern California, not really!

Our water tanks are mounted underneath the van, and with our mild temperatures most of the year, the water is often comfortable enough for rinsing off sandy feet, salty surfboards, muddy pups, or even yourself after a beach day.

Don’t get us wrong, hot water is a great luxury to have, but it’s not always a must-have.

This layout is quickly becoming a staple around here, and for good reason.

Need more seating? Add in a three-seater bench. Need to open up some floor space? Pivot the ARB dual-zone fridge behind the driver’s seat.

It’s all about keeping things modular, functional, and flexible enough to change with your needs. Because how you use your van today might look completely different from how you use it next weekend.

More options, less commitment to one layout. That’s how we like to build.
