Abbe Minor

I build Sprinter vans by hand: sculpted curves, plastered surfaces, tiled shower, soft light everywhere. Each one is a rolling, functional piece of art.

One of one · Flow

A van I’ll only build once.

Concretta and Moroccan Clay plaster on the walls, solid white oak accents, Zellige tile in the shower. It sleeps four and runs a full Victron system on 640 amp hours. It’s $295,000. Tour every detail, read the specs, or send me a purchase inquiry.

Hand-worked materials. Sculpted curves. Soft light. A rolling, functional piece of art.

One deposit takes it off the market. It applies to the purchase price, and we finish the paperwork together from there.

Wheelhouse book cover: The Ultimate Guide to Build and Sell Vans by Abbe Minor
The book · Wheelhouse

Everything I know, on paper.

Building vans gave me creative work, financial independence, and freedom over my time. Wheelhouse is the story of how I did it, and how you can too, start to finish, from an empty shell to a home on wheels.

This book walks you through buying the right platform, choosing materials, design planning, avoiding mistakes, and more. All of it is built around one principle: value creation.

About · Abbe Rose Minor

My story.

Growing up in my family's small-town Connecticut campground wired my brain for business, construction, and resourceful thinking. It was only natural that I'd stumble into a the alternative living niche and combine all three of these.

Five builds and 48 states later, I'm still working to push boundaries with each project I undertake.

Let’s talk about your build.
