TESTIMONIALS

HEAR OTHERS EXPERIENCES ABOUT WORKING WITH US

  • “I recently had a phone consultation with Edden and Nicole! One word - "Wow."

    This testimonial is going to sound like I'm exaggerating, but I genuinely mean every single word. I was blown away by how much value they provided. Not only did they answer every question I had with SO much knowledge and depth, but they went above and beyond to make sure I felt clear, supported and had all the information I needed. Their follow-up notes were incredibly thoughtful and showed how much they truly care, it felt like they weren’t doing this for the cost, but because they genuinely want to see people grow and succeed.

    They’re incredible mentors, absolute visionaries in this space. Their creativity along with the refined processes and actionable advice! WOW! I have had a lot of business calls with high level mentors and they were right up there with the best I've ever had. I’ll absolutely continue having calls with them because there’s so much to learn and unpack from them. Their focus, integrity, and care are unmatched in the space! 

    The value I got from the call far exceeded what I paid, it was worth 4 or 5 times the cost at least. If you’re even considering reaching out to them, I can’t recommend them highly enough. You’ll get so much out of the experience! ”

  • “I think people often underestimate the complexity of a van build. As a marine engineer, I’ve noticed striking similarities between what goes into engineering a ship and what’s required to design and build a van. Especially for those aiming to live off-grid, a van integrates numerous systems, making it an ambitious and intricate project. Calling it "a big task" barely scratches the surface.

    In home or shipbuilding projects, professionals rely on consultants throughout the process for a reason—no one can be an expert at everything. When I started my van build, I sought out consulting from Nicole and Edden to brainstorm and refine my ideas. Just like working on a design team, discussing ideas, challenging assumptions, and refining plans are key to making a project successful. Having never built a van myself, I knew I needed insight from someone experienced to bring my ideas to life.

    From the very first call, Edden proved to be an invaluable resource. He answered my questions quickly, allowed me to guide the conversation, and brought a collaborative energy to the table. Unlike some consultants who insist on "their way or no way," Edden was open to new ideas—even saying, "I’ve never done that, but it’s a great idea," more than once. That kind of open-mindedness makes all the difference.

    The consulting service is worth every penny. Not only do you get real-time answers, but Edden also provides access to videos of previous van builds, which are incredibly helpful. After each consultation, you receive a detailed document summarizing everything discussed, along with links, photos, and videos relevant to your build. I’ve referred back to these notes countless times—they’re an invaluable resource.

    After my first call, I immediately booked three more. Having someone in your corner who truly cares about your success is priceless. Nicole and Edden’s dedication shines through in every interaction. While I could have tackled this build on my own, it wouldn’t have come close to the quality and innovation I’m achieving with their help. Edden has elevated the finer details of my build, and Nicole’s design expertise is shaping it into a true masterpiece.

    I’m beyond excited to continue working with them as I bring my dream van to life. If you’re serious about your van build, investing in their expertise is a no-brainer.”

  • “I’m incredibly grateful to work with Edden and Nicole on my van build! They have been remarkably transparent about their own build experience and have guided me step by step in recreating the layout of the Concrete Oasis. Beyond that, they’ve openly shared what they would do differently and how to improve upon their original design, which has been invaluable.


    Building a van without a community can feel isolating and overwhelming, but working with Edden and Nicole has been a game-changer. They’ve saved me countless hours of research, provided clarity amidst the endless rabbit hole of information, and been a constant source of creative and practical solutions. Their expertise, generosity, and encouragement have made this process not only smoother but also more enjoyable.”

  • “Working with Edden for our camper van build consultation was truly an enjoyable experience. From the start, his generosity and transparency stood out—he shared so many details of his build process, even those we hadn’t thought of, including the challenges faced and lessons learned. And all this just to help us avoid similar pitfalls.

    He took the time to listen, answer questions thoroughly, and offer solutions. It’s rare to find someone so open and honest about the nuances of such a complex project, and Edden’s willingness to provide helpful insights made all the difference.

    Edden’s attention to detail and commitment to helping go far beyond the standard consultation experience. After each session, we received comprehensive meeting notes outlining everything we discussed, along with product specifications, detailed build dimensions we discussed, and a wealth of additional resources and referrals to support our project.

    On top of all this, Edden is an exceptionally kind person who genuinely wants others to succeed. He’s been not only a great resource, but also an invaluable source of inspiration and motivation.”

  • “As first-time van builders, we were excited but also overwhelmed by all the details involved. While we’d followed Edden and Nicole’s van-building journeys on social media, we knew we needed a little extra 1:1 guidance—and Edden was absolutely fantastic. He provided us with specific, actionable advice on everything from the order of operations to materials to use (and avoid), as well as tips for navigating common challenges.

    His expertise and patience have been invaluable, and he continues to offer support as we work through obstacles. Edden doesn’t just know his stuff—he’s also deeply committed to fostering a supportive van-building community.

    We can’t recommend him highly enough to anyone looking for expert advice and a partner in their van-building adventure!”
