Episode 3: Meeting the Dream Team at Site Seven
After a forklift-fueled shopping spree in Episode 2, it’s time to hand over the goods — and the van — to the people who will bring Mike’s dream rig to life.
In Episode 3 of Mike’s Van Build, Mike heads to Site Seven Campers in New Hampshire to meet founders Justin, Hunter, and Jammer, see the shop in action, and hand over his brand-new Sprinter for its full custom conversion.
First Impressions of Site Seven
From the moment Mike walks in, it’s clear this isn’t your average van conversion shop. The Site Seven team runs a clean, organized, and detail-focused operation — complete with dedicated stations for every stage of the build. Mike gets a firsthand look at their cabinetry craftsmanship, electrical setups, and how they manage complex projects without cutting corners.
Justin, Hunter, and Jammer share their philosophy on van building:
- Function comes first — every design decision starts with how the van will be used.
- Quality over speed — they’d rather get it right than get it done fast.
- Collaboration is key — they involve clients throughout the process to avoid surprises.
Mike’s Build Goals with Site Seven
Mike lays out his vision:
- A rugged, four-season van ready for skiing, biking, and extended off-grid travel.
- Simplified systems that are easy to operate and maintain.
- Premium finishes that can handle real-world use without looking worn in a year.
Justin, Hunter, and Jammer are all in — mapping out the build timeline, coordinating on the gear Mike’s already picked, and making small tweaks for efficiency and performance.
