Outside Van will move its Type B motorhome manufacturing from its Portland, Oregon, home for the past 18 years.
The manufacturer, which was bought by Fox Factory Holding Corp. in 2021, will move its operations to a new, specialized production facility.
The change is part of a “strategic merger” with Fox Factory, which is based in Gainesville, Georgia. Outside Van said the new facility is expected to be online before year’s end.
Outside Van said, “This merger strengthens our commitment to building the industry’s best adventure vehicles and positions us for continued innovation and growth.”
Outside Van was founded in 2007 by Erik Ekman. According to the company, Ekman spent more than 30 years building “vans that facilitated his adventurous lifestyle. Whether it was surfing, snowboarding or biking, the vans were specifically designed to meet his personal needs.”
The company makes more than 100 custom van conversions annually.
