Inspiration for Your Own Campervan Build
A Tribe Called Axis
The Axis Tribe is comprised of the most incredible people. They are kind, positive, hard working, philanthropic, intelligent folks who also happen to be in an Axis Van. These are the folks you want surrounding you around a campfire, fixing a flat tire or waiting out the next apocalypse.
“Currently, our family is Road tripping to Montana in our beloved AWD Axis van.
We first had a camper van experience when we rented from Taylor and Gretchen through Roamerica . We did a trial run with our then, three month old daughter. After having a wonderful experience and feeling like it made getting outdoors with kid a whole lot easier, we decided to go all in and start our own build with Axis.
It been a year now in our adventure rig. We continue to love its functionality making it easier to get outside with our 2 daughters (ages 2 and 6 months).
When we are not on adventures- it functions as a play station, reading nook, diaper/ feeding and potty training hub!
Working with Taylor and Gretchen was smooth. They were able to answer the many questions I had during the building process and made efforts to follow up when I reached out. I really trusted their knowledge and the thoughtful family friendly design and craftsmanship.

“We were in a Chevy Pop top van and the POP top just took up too much space inside. We wanted two bed for the 4 of us without all that mechanical bullshit. We also wanted a full kitchen set up, nice counters and did not need/want a bathroom taking up the living space. Van camping/living for two people is one thing, but with 4 we want space inside and we can go to the bathroom outside and jump in lakes to clean off... of use the portable shower or a hot shower at a camp ground. Axis was the solution.”

“I went into the market looking for a van that fit our family (as you know, most vans fit just a couple). Once I spoke to Taylor & Gretchen, I was blown away by their professionalism. I knew exactly when my van was going to be done ahead of time, the attention to detail, and always being around to answer my many questions made this progress AMAZING! Highly recommend!!”

“In terms of being an Axis Van owner, there isn't a month that goes by (we've had our van for three years) where it doesn't solve an old or new problem. On a scale of 1 to 10, Axis earned a 20! Serious. Genuine folks at Axis. No BS from day 1. We were shown patience and care all along. The Axis team expertise was impressive and the result was a van that has lasted years! Functional, attractive, BULLET PROOF! The build is true to form. It's been awesome to keep in touch with the Axis team; their expertise is always an email away!”

“I’d been researching on and off for about four years and we decided to build a Ford Transit with Axis Vehicle Outfitters; the vehicle platform, build layout and honestly, their modus operandi drew us to them and our finished van is, in our opinion, the best of all worlds for our outdoor family of four who wants to go anywhere, anytime. We found this company and its employees to be fantastic people and the attention to detail on our build has met and exceeded my own (my wife will tell you she previously thought this impossible). I’d do it ten times over.”

“I wanted a simpler build that fit my lifestyle of winter and summer sports. It took patience to find the right fit of build, builder and materials. Axis Vehicles had the perfect layout for my uses and the timeline fit. My wife and I talked about it over dinner the night before extensively and when we woke up we drove over and put a deposit on the build. An excellent day! There are no compromises about road trips for skiing, kiting, camping or wing foiling. The vehicle makes everything easier and more comfortable.”

“Now that we have had a chance to take it out for a few drives, Darshan and I just wanted to reach out and let you know how much we have enjoyed having the van. As a family, we have officially named him Roamer. He's been packed with skis, scooters, and kids and has helped us make some invaluable family memories!
Our first road trip was taking it down south to Goblin Valley and Moab for spring break, while carrying about a foot of snow on the top with us. Once there, the girls thought it was hilarious to get on the top and throw snowballs off. As you mentioned would happen in conversations, we have also used it for longer ski days and hiking days close to home. Being able to eat dinner in the van and watch the sunset before heading home has been fantastic. Thank you for answering the hundreds of questions we had and making the transaction enjoyable. We couldn't have found a better van to fit our family or greater individuals to purchase it from.”
