About The Vanlife Collective
This is a van conversion shop in Hood River that also handles repair work, and the reviews suggest the repair side is what keeps people coming back mid-trip. Reviewers mention a 48 volt Sprinter system, a cabin AC, solar panels and a dedicated alternator, plus a B2B charger diagnostic and a lethal electrical issue found and fixed. One owner drove a thousand miles for the workmanship and plumbing help. They cover air conditioning, batteries, electrical and steering and suspension, and they keep parts on hand. Weekends are mentioned in their hours. The shop runs a la carte installs for DIY folks who just need fans, windows or batteries done, along with consults, and full builds built off a standard design or drawn from scratch. Across 34 reviews the rating sits at 4.9. People describe the team as professional, responsive and genuinely into the work. One reviewer had power steering fluid trouble on a Friday afternoon and got pointed to a local mechanic who had the right fluid. Another mentions an aftermarket fuel tank and rear camera install on a 2024 Storyteller that came out flawless.
