All reviews for Quality Adventure Custom Vans

I lived in my 2014 camper van for several months so I wanted anyone working on it to be trustworthy, responsive and knowledgeable. David more than met these criteria. He explained things thoughtfully and carefully, and I came away impressed by his high standards. I drove all over the country, but I always came back to the Twin Cities when I needed work done. Highly recommend David's craftsmanship and service.

In February 2021 we received our brand new Promaster Van. After checking out several van builders we settled on Dave at QA Vans. By the end of 2021 he had finished our build-out with minor finishes for us to complete.

In January 2022 we set out on our first adventure. We have traveled to 22 states. We ferried the van up the inside passage to Alaska, crossed into Canada, and drove up the Dempster Highway to the Arctic Ocean. The Dempster is 500 miles of rough gravel road with only two gas stations. The van held up. We have not had electrical, heating or water problems with the build.

Dave and his crew did a solid van build. He worked tirelessly with us to meet our needs. In 2025 we decided to add air conditioning and upgrade the solar. It's never easy to make changes after the walls are up. We are very satisfied with the upgrades. QA Vans does quality work. We feel lucky to have found Dave.

We’ve got to end this review because we’re heading out on a new adventure across Ontario & Quebec, then down the Upper East Coast of the US. We love this van & are totally happy with the build-out. Thanks Dave!

I tasked David with a bit of a unique project as I didn't have a van to customize. I had a 1984 Land Rover 110 that needed a better heating unit. David determined the appropriate Webasto heater for the vehicle. He was meticulous in researching the best installation approach while asking for my input on preferences where appropriate. Follow-up was great and I wouldn't feel hesitate to reach out with any issues with the system or with another project. In fact, I'd highly recommend David's work.

David is a fabrication expert .

The absolute best in terms of service and work for custom vans!

QACV was amazing to work with and continues to be a support system for my van, if needed. The work was beautiful!

David and I collaborated on my Sprinter van buildout, with David doing the electrical, installing a Webasto heater, and cutting out and installing the aftermarket windows.
David was great at consulting with me on the processes and choosing the best products for the job. David was knowledgeable, thorough, and a great guy to work with. I would highly recommend his services.

I can’t say enough amazing things about David and his company. They built my van out in 2020 and I’m now in season 7 traveling. It’s been so functional and durable and David has helped maintain and enhance it along the way. Highly recommend.

If you’re considering QA Custom Vans, do it.
They’ve done projects for us, and the quality is consistently top-tier. Communication is smooth and considered. The work is strategic and well executed.

You can feel the craftsmanship in the final product. If you want a team that’s reliable, talented, and truly cares about the outcome, has been there and done that, QA Custom Vans is a safe choice!

Quality Adventure Custom Vans did excellent work on my RV. They handled interior upgrades to the kitchen and dinette with real creativity and attention to detail, and the craftsmanship was superb. They also diagnosed and fixed issues with my solar electrical system that others had missed. Fair pricing, professional from start to finish, and so flexible to work with. I will absolutely return for any future projects for my RV. Highly recommend.

David and his team were great from start to finish. Working with me down to each detail was great. He guided me along the way and asked for input to make sure my needs were met. The van turned out great and met all my needs. He was quick to add all the additional requests as time progressed (additional shelving, awning and starlink as well). Everyhing was done professionally, on time and right the first time. When the time comes for my next project there is no other company I'd look at but Quality Adventure Custom Vans!

David converted my 2012 Chevy Express 1500 Van for me three years ago. I had ideas of what I wanted and David converted my " rough idea" into an OMG travel van. Three years later I still enjoy opening the side doors and jumping in for the next adventure.

From the beginning, there was a very open and honest discussion about my ideas and his suggestions or changes along the way. If a concern arose David would contact me with photos to present the situation and how to alleviate it. He also sent progress pics which were always fun to see.

I was always impressed with the quality work that he was putting into my van. What was also impressive was the quality of equipment and parts that David used. David's way of suggesting a better part was never intrusive. What he suggested made sense and would often times provide better future options. I never felt like he was just upping the price.

The wood work inside the van is still magnificent. Custom cabinets and the way he tied in the choice of wood stain with other finishing materials was pure beauty. To measure the quality and strength of his work; I live in Northern MN on the edge of wilderness. The 7.5 miles I drive on are from an abandoned railroad line used during the previous lumber business. They've tried to improve the road but it's maybe nice for a week or two then it's back to the historical century old potholed surface. The Van's structure is still tight and nothing has come loose. My guess is the van will die and the inside conversion will still be in top shape.

Months later, I came back to David and had him install solar panels and complete the wiring throughout the circuitry. This is an example of how his suggestions for future additions were implemented during the initial phase of construction.

These days it's rare when you get quality service at a fair price. Overall, I was pleased with the pricing. It was fair and he factored in parts that I purchased myself prior to him starting the work. Everything was upfront which alleviated any misunderstanding later on.

I've enjoyed the van for the years that I've had it. From day one up till today I have trusted the experience.

BTW, this van is my only vehicle and so the miles have mounted up and still it's working like a charm.

David is a multi-talented and quality craftsman. During our 2021 Ford Transit van build, he introduced us to materials and products and was also willing to try new things that we brought to him. He is a designer and a builder and helped us think through some features and come up with innovative solutions. He was professional and so enthusiastic about our project. We have over 250 nights and 40,000 miles on it, and it’s still performing like the day we picked it up!

If you are looking for a full van build out or mods for your rig, I highly recommend David and his team at Quality Adventure Custom Vans. As an owner of three different vans over the past 25 years, I would not trust anyone other than David to build out or modify our van. Not only is David a master carpenter by trade but he understands and has in depth experience with the electrical specifications and applications that are critical to a solid van build. David recently helped us add some new bug screens and a winch system to our front bumper. He was able to get us scheduled in a reasonable time frame, and his work was impeccable. Thanks David for being an all around great person but even more importantly, someone I can trust to get our van repairs and mods done right the first time.

I believe I was one of a handful of their first van builds in 2018 (2017 RAM Promaster 2500). The build process was great! They listened to what I wanted in the van and provided options to build it to my needs/wants. Quality Adventure Vans had open communication during the process and were quick to respond to my questions via phone or email. The quality of the build is outstanding! I have driven over 130,000 miles and spent hundreds of nights in the van. Nothing about the build has gone wrong in all that time. And, they have been available and responsive to any upgrades I have wanted over the years. To this day, I know I can pick up the phone or write an email and get in touch with David right away. I still have the van and love every minute of freedom it has brought to me in my exploration of the USA.

I had a great experience working with Quality Adventure Custom Vans! David really took the time to understand my van vision, and was able to make that happen!!! They got my van in and the work completed in a timely fashion, and produced a quality result! Great guys to work with, and excellent customer service!!! I highly recommend Quality Adventure Custom Vans for all of your van build needs!!! Thank you David and John!!! 😊

Years ago, I brought in a cargo van, a piece of graph paper with rough drawings, and hundreds of ideas and hopes for the vehicle that would make my retirement dream come true. I felt the David listened well and understood my wishes and what things were essential and what could or should be tweaked a bit. When I drove it out, it had everything I wanted! I’ve had many wonderful months long trips and David has been super helpful in keeping things great. Aside from his meticulous building skills and problem solving abilities, this project benefited from his clear communication. I really appreciated the cardboard mock-up which allowed for visualizing the build before a single cut was made. I am still enjoying my van voyages and intend to for years to come. I give David and Quality Adventure Custom Vans all the highest recommendations!!
