What Field Van does

Field Van, Inc. is a family-owned custom camper van conversion company founded by the Feld family in 1989 and headquartered in Fresno, California. The company designs and builds bespoke van conversions on chassis supplied by Mercedes-Benz (Sprinter 2500/3500), Ford (Transit and E-Series), Dodge/Ram (ProMaster), and Chevrolet, serving two primary customer segments: individual adventure enthusiasts seeking overlanding and van-life vehicles, and government/municipal agencies requiring specialized fleet conversions such as search-and-rescue, mobile outreach, and SWAT deployment vehicles. Its product portfolio spans four predefined conversion lines (Summit S1/S2/S3, Tide, Canyon, Meadow), a fully custom Range Series, the exclusive Ford Classic 4x4 off-road camper, and the dealer-oriented SHYFT model, supplemented by pop-top add-ons, parts and accessories via shop.fieldvan.com, and a Try Before You Buy rental program.

The business operates a build-to-order model from a 60,000+ square foot Fresno factory staffed by 50+ production employees, with a 75+ total workforce. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; pre-owned inventory ranges from $45,000 to $190,000, with new SHYFT models listed at $199,950, and accessories priced from $5 to $1,400. A 5-year unlimited-mile warranty is included with new builds. Distribution is primarily direct through Fresno and Reno showrooms (Reno also functions as a service center), with the first external dealer partnership with Warner Vans in Utah (January 2026) extending reach into the Mountain West; the company currently serves customers in 10+ states plus Wyoming. Notable enterprise customers include the government of Qatar (18-vehicle search-and-rescue fleet), Madera County Workforce, and San Francisco County. Field Van is privately held with no disclosed external investment and is led by CEO Jonathan Feld.

Direct peers

• Storyteller Overland: Modern Class B camper van brand built on Mercedes Sprinter with off-grid focused layouts. Competes with Field Van in the same premium adventure-van category with shorter lead times and broader dealer presence.
• Sportsmobile: Long-established custom van converter offering Class B camper vans on Ford, Sprinter, and Chevy chassis with multiple conversion tiers. Field Van's pricing pages explicitly reference Sportsmobile pre-owned models as competitive benchmarks.
• Outside Van: Custom Sprinter, Transit, and ProMaster conversion specialist offering build-to-order camper vans with a similar premium adventure-van focus and direct-to-consumer showroom model.
• Sync Vans: Custom van conversion specialist working primarily on Ford Transit and Mercedes Sprinter platforms. Competes in the same premium adventure-van category with similar direct-to-consumer showroom approach.
• Advanced RV: Boutique custom Sprinter van conversion builder focused on high-end off-grid Class B motorhomes with bespoke electrical and mechanical systems. Comparable build-to-order premium model targeting adventure enthusiasts.

Broad incumbents

• Airstream: Iconic RV manufacturer owned by Thor Industries offering the Interstate Class B touring coach on Mercedes Sprinter chassis. Overlaps with Field Van in the premium van life segment but operates from a much broader product portfolio.
• Thor Motor Coach: Subsidiary of Thor Industries producing Class B and Class C motorhomes including the Tellaro and Sequence Sprinter-based camper vans that compete directly with Field Van's premium adventure positioning.
• Winnebago: Large publicly traded RV manufacturer with the Revel Class B adventure van directly competing with Field Van. Winnebago brings brand scale, dealer network reach, and capital that small custom converters must compete against.
• Coachmen: Established RV manufacturer under Forest River offering Class B camper vans including the Beyond and Nova Sprinter-based models. Represents the larger-volume competitor that Field Van must differentiate against.

Others

• Mercedes-Benz: Primary chassis supplier for Field Van's Sprinter-based conversions. Not a direct competitor but a critical enabling partner whose Sprinter availability, pricing, and product roadmap materially shape Field Van's economics.
