From start-up to established name
Eight years ago, Jorn Hofman started with the idea of building motorhomes that fit today’s life. In 2018, in a small garage box, he laid the foundation for what is today VAN-Jorn. A brand that stands for freedom, craftsmanship and smart innovation.
“When I rebuilt my first camper in an unheated barn when I was seventeen, I never imagined that VAN-Jorn would emerge from that. During my studies, the seed of the modular concept was planted. Now we are in a full-fledged new factory in Groningen with a growing team of trade geeks and have opened a second branch in Germany.”
Campers that move with you
VAN-Jorn is not about one perfect layout for everyone, but a motorhome that moves with your life. Today you’re going to the mountains as a couple, in a few years maybe with kids or friends for a weekend away. We build that flexibility into it from day one.
That’s why we work in a modular way. Your cabinets, bed, kitchen and seating combine to form a smart system that you can adjust over time. Does your family grow? Does your job change? Do you discover that you’re mostly on the waterfront and want to store a lot of outdoor gear? Your van just grows with you.
That’s what we do it for
What started with one camper has grown into a full team of creators, designers and dreamers. Year after year, VAN-Jorn grows by an average of 50%. All driven by the desire to build better: modular, sustainable and with an eye for detail. In 2025, that work was crowned with two special awards: the ANWB Camper of the Year and the Red Dot Design Award. A confirmation that beautiful design and practical use can reinforce each other perfectly.
But in the end, something else matters much more to us: the satisfaction of our customers. That’s what we do it for. We are proud to see that on average they rate us with a 4.8 out of 5, a rating that for us is the best recognition you can get.
“What has remained the same in all these years? That moment when a customer walks into their VAN-Jorn for the first time and sees in their eyes: Wow! This is what I have lived for so long, this really feels like my bus.”
Looking ahead: the road lies open
New production techniques and advanced automation allow us to work faster and more precisely than ever. And with our move to larger premises, there is more room to grow. Literally and figuratively. The production capacity doubles, so we increasingly more adventurers in the Netherlands and abroad can introduce a VAN-Jorn.
And the future? That is flexible, just like our motorhomes. In any case, we are building on our presence in Germany and Belgium.
