A Tale of Technology, Adventure, and Freedom

Founded by Shaiden Valentine, Mothership Vans emerged from a passion for technology, adventure, and the freedom of the open road. Born from the idea that a van should be more than just a vehicle, Shaiden set out to create mobile bases for adventurers who refuse to be tethered. With the collaboration of Nick Kelly, the team has expanded its vision, incorporating the expertise of SoCal Custom Vans to push the boundaries of what a van can be.
