Founded
In 2007
For over 30 years, the founder of Outside Van built vans that facilitated his adventurous lifestyle. Whether it was surfing, snowboarding, or biking, the vans were specifically designed to meet his personal needs. Officially established in 2007, outside van has evolved into a flourishing business and was acquired in 2021 by Fox Factory helping elevate the brand into a leader in the custom van conversion industry.
Work Anywhere
Stay Anywhere
We started to think of a new type of mobility space, that offers both, the comfort of a traditional camper van, yet allows users an optimized ergonomic space for conducting remote work wherever the whim takes them. In other words, a seamless crossover of functionalities for an ideal work-life balance…. hence the Cross Cabin naming,” said Steve Crawford, Director of Alpine’s European Brand Business Division. As a vehicle basis a 6,70m Ford Transit van was selected and transformed into an all-new type of workcation vehicle.

Our Purpose
Outside Van brings people closer to nature
Every van owner has drawn out their dream van in a notebook, on a napkin, or even on the back of a trail map. Before production, our design team works with our customers to create the perfect layout and component list that work seamlessly within the van.
Living Area
Japanese Interior Design
The Cross Cabin’s interior is a masterclass in Japanese-inspired minimalism, creating an immediate impression of space and serenity. Acoustic panel wall cladding doubles as subtle storage, with hidden cabinets and lighting alongside a state-of-the-art sound system. The back of the cabin features comfortable seating, while the flat floor is elegantly covered with tatami mats. A cleverly concealed highlight is built into the floor, epitomizing the vehicle’s innovative spirit.
Am I Dreaming?
Sleeping Space
The workspace vanishes once the desk is folded away, seamlessly transitioning from work to relaxation. The living area converts into a cosy double bed by extending the bench seats, complete with a spacious 1.45m x 1.95m mattress, perfect for a restful sleep after a day of adventure.
