Commercial & Adventure Van Conversions To Fit Your Needs

Welcome to Ruhne Racing Van Solutions

RECENT BUILDS

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 racing background and knowledge in lightweight, clean and strong build methods. We offer van build services from basic builds with just enough to get you out on the road exploring to the ultimate weekender build to carry you and all of your toys to your next adventure. Or we can go all-out with a full-blown, no-stone-left-unturned expedition rig for your adventuring nomadic lifestyle. Our unique Stage Build service allows us to start at the consultation process and plan the build in stages to fit your life, timeline, and budget. Most importantly, we support your discovery of how you are going to use your van to make sure you have everything you need and nothing you don’t!

With this intention, no matter the build, we design and craft your van with our ethos of ULDV. Ultra Light Displacement Van keeps the van light and strong with welded aluminum structure and composite paneled finishes. This keeps your van ultra light and strong, helping to boost your fuel mileage and lessen wear and tear on your van. This increases your capacity to bring more gear, tools, cargo, etc.  You’ll never get a van full of ¾” heavy plywood from Ruhne Racing.

Commercial/Demo Builds

Ruhne Racing Custom Van Conversions roots are in the realm of commercial van conversions. We started out building high-end custom demo vans for the bicycling industry which lead to mobile suspension tuning shops for Fox Shox (amongst other builds). Since then, we’ve built delivery vans for the cannabis industry with their specialized needs, mobile laboratories for COVID testing, as well as showroom vans for custom cabinet companies and outside sales reps, a custom showroom trailer for Adidas Golf. Most recently we built a mobile laboratory for the OGAP project and a showroom/tradeshow van for the industrial electrical switch manufacturer Socomec.

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, provide you with an elegant way to transport your products or to allow your company to work efficiently out in the field in a clean durable well thought out and planned vehicle.

Originating from those original demo vans which were live/work vans, we do truly offer a unique solution. We create true crossover van builds that allow you to deliver & showcase your products, work efficiently in the field, yet can easily switch over to allow you to enjoy recreational activities and van life on your time off in the same 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.

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.

Highlander Platform Beds

We offer our standard platform beds (standard design with a few customizable options) to fully custom designed platform beds to suit your needs. We are now offering our Half Murphy beds for when you need a bunk some of the time, a full bed some of the time, and/or an isle down the length of your van.

At this time we are able to offer semi-production Highlander Platform Beds for Sprinter (144 & 170) cargo vans and Transit (148 Reg & Extended) cargo vans with 3 panels that are shippable to you for a DIY install.
