Hey there, I'm Abbe Rose Minor — a little bit of everything. Van builder, adventurer, author, content creator.
Much of how I ended up here stemmed from an unconventional upbringing. My family owns and runs a large campground back in my hometown of Stafford, Connecticut, where I spent nearly every day growing up. Both of my parents were incredibly resourceful — my mother running the financial side of the business, and my father running the utility end. Between the two of them, no problem didn't have a solution.
Naturally, that mentality became my norm.
From a young age I gravitated toward art and design, and as I grew older the campground became a blank canvas for me to exercise that proclivity. I began my building career renovating old RVs, park models, and cabins — wiring my brain for construction and learning the basics of my building dictionary. I'm an entrepreneur at heart, and through years of small-scale building I decided to take my knack to the next level, completing my education at UConn with a B.S. in Real Estate Investment. During those years I stumbled into an opportunity I could have never imagined: building my first Sprinter van.
I've since road-tripped to 48 of the 50 states, formed lifelong friendships within the van-building community, built a platform to share my work with the world, and most importantly, supported myself by doing what I love.
My goal is to push boundaries in van design and reshape the way people view living spaces, large or small. Your environment shapes your life; it influences how you feel and reflects who you are. If you want to feel clear, calm, safe, and inspired, your space should be a sanctuary. Each of my vans feels like a rolling, functional piece of art — every edge cut, every surface adorned, every detail thoughtfully chosen, blending form and function into a harmonious whole.
