ABOUT US
Oxbow Van Conversions was founded in 2020 in Bend, Oregon, with one goal in mind: to turn adventure dreams into reality. With a background in construction, electrical systems, and custom fabrication, our team brings years of hands-on experience to every project. We specialize in custom camper van conversions, van builds, and camper van service for a wide range of platforms including Sprinter, Transit, and ProMaster vans. What started as a small side project has grown into Oxbow Vans, a trusted name for camper van conversions and repairs in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest, known for building durable, functional, and adventure-ready vans designed for life on the road.
Greg Schultze
Greg has a degree in Business and Energy Management from the University of Oklahoma. With his experience in residential and commercial energy efficiency, he has applied his expertise to the van platform. Greg’s first vehicle was a fifteen-passenger van that he converted into a dirt bike van with his dad. Since then the passion has grown into a full-blown obsession. As a mountain bike guide in Washington and Oregon, it was apparent that vans provide a unique opportunity to get people outside.
Hayden Johnson
Hayden’s our Shop Manager and a true road warrior. For the past six years, he’s been cruising around the Pacific Northwest, sharpening his camper remodeling and upfitting chops. From wiring up slick electrical systems in Salt Lake City to breathing new life into vintage Airstreams, he’s tackled just about every kind of build out there. When he’s not turning wrenches in the shop, you’ll probably catch him dialing in his own ’84 truck camper or hitting the local skate park for a session.
Lefty
Lefty is our Sales & Marketing Manager and a lifelong explorer at heart. Before diving into the camper world, he built award-winning cafés and catering spots on the East Coast. After four years of full-time van life, he landed in Bend to help grow small businesses in the off-grid camper scene. When he’s not chatting with customers or cooking up marketing ideas, you can bet he’s out chasing dirt roads and mountain views in his own rig.
Tim McMahon
Tim’s our service technician and the guy you want in your corner when something needs fixing. Originally from Maine, he brings a ton of hands-on experience, including time at EarthCruiser building composite house structures and at Expedition Vehicle Services where he worked on just about every type of rig and system out there. He’s known for keeping things running smoothly, staying in a good mood, and usually being the one making the whole shop laugh. When he’s not working on customer vans, he’s tinkering with his 1986 Suzuki Samurai and finding new ways to make it better.
Poubelle
Poubelle is our resident shop dog and professional nap enthusiast. Her name means “trash can” in French, a nod to her humble beginnings scavenging snacks at a French glamping camp in Southern California. These days, she’s traded dumpsters for dog beds and prefers supervising projects from a sunny spot on the shop floor. She’s one of those rare Huskies who hardly ever howls and is perfectly content to take it easy.
