Our story

Krabalcraft is a company where a hobby grew into a business. None of it planned and all of it enjoyed.

In 2019, I was working labor and hospitality on the professional motocross tour. I learned early that staying with the young guys on the crew meant little sleep and long nights. In my mid-thirties, I could no longer hang.
As the season approached, I thought it appropriate to travel on my own to each round and sleep in peace in a boxvan I bought weeks before. So I converted it into a mini apartment with a shower, bed, sink and air conditioner. It was rough but enough.
In 2020, I wanted to do the same thing for the same crew and save a little gas money. The series travels about 14,000 miles over the summer. This time, I built my first mini camper and filmed the process. I’d tow it with a four-cylinder car and save a ton on gas. When I shared the build on Youtube, folks expressed their enjoyment in watching the process and I earned a little money. I later built two more with style playing more of a role in each build. Folks liked those too. And I really enjoyed building them. It was a discovery out of necessity and quite accidental.
Now here we are, six campers built and our first model for sale as a brand new manufacuturer. Folks have asked me to build them a camper more than a hundred times.
