Highland Rigs Chino Mini
Crafted for comfort, wherever you roam
The Chino is built around how the van is used day to day, from how you move through the space to how systems are accessed and maintained. Every part of the layout is intentional, from how you move through the space to how systems are accessed and used day to day. It’s a van that feels just as right parked for the night as it does moving between destinations. This isn’t about packing in features. It’s about building something that works, holds up, and makes travel easier over time.

Built For The Full Experience
A layout that adapts to the way you live
The interior is built around flexibility. The HappiJac bed system opens the space during the day and creates a comfortable sleeping setup at night, while the convertible lounge gives you a place to relax, work, or reset. Storage is integrated throughout so everything has a place without cluttering the space. Every detail is designed to make the van feel open, functional, and easy to live in.
Built for the kind of travel most people never reach
Races, long stretches between stops, and the freedom to stay when you want instead of when you have to. The Hincapie is designed for that kind of travel, where capability matters just as much as comfort.

Questions we get from people serious about building
Answers to common questions about the build, process, and ownership.
Will I be ready to travel right away, or should Iexpect to make modifications?
Our vans are fully equipped to hit the road right away. However, there are a multitude of upgrades that we offer in order to best suit your needs. These upgrades can be added at the time of purchase or later down the road.
How long will my build take?
We plan for a 6 - 8 weeks from initial build deposit to delivery date. This timeline can change depending on added upgrades or any custom build.
How Long Can I Stay Off Grid?
Everyone’s energy usage is different, but with our battery system, 400W of solar, and alternator charging, most can comfortably stay off-grid for weeks at a time.
What kind of upgrades do you offer?
We have a list of possible upgrades that we offer, but that’s only the tip of the iceberg! There are countless products and solutions that can be added in order to create a van that fits your needs. We know that your needs/wants can change and develop as you use your van, so we design our base layouts to be upgrade-friendly to maximize future additions.
What is the warranty on the vehicle and build?
Our builds carry a 3-year, 50,000 mile warranty. The vans carry dealer warranties which can vary based on make and model.
