Welcome to Ruhne Racing Van Solutions

Simple. Strong. Clean.

Everything you need. Nothing you don’t.

We use Brent’s 24+ years of professional sailboat racing and being involved in building, modifying and running race boats to design and build the commercial or adventure van of you dreams; be it for hitting the road (or off road) to explore the world, or to help you and your business deliver product, spread the stoke of what you make, or just help your business be more productive. 

Contact us to discuss your wants, needs and desires for a van conversion to suit your requirements. No project is too big or small. A lot of our projects have been an evolution, building the baseline necessities and then finishing out the project as the client’s needs come more into focus. The last thing we want is to have our customers driving around in a van full of stuff they thought they needed, but never use!

CUSTOM VAN CONVERSION

At Ruhne Racing we utilize our boat racing background to bring you lightweight, clean and strong builds. We offer basic builds, with just enough to get you out on the road exploring, to the ultimate weekender to carry all of your toys to your next adventure, to a full-blown no-stone-left-unturned expedition rig for your nomadic lifestyle. Our unique Stage Build service starts with a consultation to plan the build in stages to fit your timeline, budget and evolution of what you want in your van.

e design and craft your van with our ethos of Ultra Light Displacement Van (ULDV). ULDV keeps the van light and strong with a welded aluminum structure and composite paneled finishes, boosting your fuel mileage and lessening wear and tear. You’ll never get a van full of ¾” heavy plywood from Ruhne Racing, increasing your capacity to bring more gear, tools and cargo.

Commercial Van Builds

Ruhne Racing was founded in commercial van conversions. We’ve built high-end custom demo vans for the bicycling industry, mobile laboratories for COVID testing, corporate showroom vans and trailers, as well as delivery vans for the cannabis industry. Our customers include Santa Cruz Bicycles, Fox Shox, Adidas Golf, Socomec as well as city and federal government agencies, universities, and school districts.

With our background in durable lightweight construction and high level finishes we are well placed to help you promote your company and showcase its products from a custom van. We deliver you an elegant way to transport your products or work efficiently out in the field in a clean, durable, well thought out and planned vehicle.

Box Trailers

From mobile workshops and service centers to moto-haulers… even your own custom toy-hauler or race boat support trailer. We can build out your box trailer so you can tow along whatever you need. We’ll build out the basics or create a NASCAR-level trailer. We build out shipping containers too.

Custom Fabrication

Ruhne Racing builds a variety of in-house custom additions to give your van exactly the functionality you’re after. We’ve made all kinds of custom roof racks and ladders, low profile solar panel mounts, crossbars and towers, storage boxes, side steps and much more for the exterior of your van. For the interior we build custom cabinets, designed enclosures for electrical and plumbing, bed platforms and more.

If an off-the-shelf rack, ladder, storage box, bumper, batteries or solar setup will work for your van, we are dealers for a wide range of popular brands. Let us know what you are looking for and we can source and install it for you.

Build-to-Ship Highlander Platform Beds

The classic Ruhne Racing custom ‘Highlander’ platform bed is about to be available as a pre-built ready to ship production platforms bed that you install yourself. With beds available for both Sprinters and Transits, both long WB and short. The frames are powder-coated black with 1/2” marine ply tops.  The new 3 panel design is both UPS shippable and easier for you to handle.
