Every VLC Sherpa starts with a chassis that can handle our clientele's outdoor ambitions. Our latest Sherpa is built on an AWD 2026 Ford Transit T-350 HR, and with a larger payload capacity and a 31 gallon tank, you have fewer limitations on what you can do with this build. Inside, the Elevation Station bed raises fully to the ceiling, opening up the entire cabin. It adjusts left and right independently too, one of those details you don't think about until you're glad it's there. Level sleep every night, an open cabin during the day.

Sherpa is more than a conversion layout, it's a well thought out platform, road-ready now and built for long-term ownership. No upgrades required, but it's pre-configured for them: pre-wired for A/C, set up for expanded power, water, and storage down the road. We build adaptable, accessible systems because we know what holds up and what doesn't. VLC vans are built by people who spend their weekends doing exactly what this van is made for, and their weekdays figuring out how to make something great even better. Every lesson we've learned as van builders is in this van.
