  1. Nathaniel Stephens (verified owner) –

    Truly couldn’t say enough great things about EXPLORIST.life and this entire product package!! As a first-time van builder, the world of electricity seemed daunting, however, after stumbling across Nate & Steph’s detailed video series on YouTube I was confident this would be the best direction. In addition to the top-notch tutorial video and extremely well-organized shipment, they’ve been there every step of the way to answer questions and provide guidance on a couple of ‘oopsie’ or ‘rookie mistakes’ I made during the planning process. Oh so grateful for folks like Nate & Steph and will be looking to their shop for any of my future van-building needs. Cheers!
