Hyori Lee a Research and Development Engineer and her newly wed Antonio Sanchez a Mercedes

Mechanic and car modification enthusiast spent $2$ years travelling through North America, Europe and

Africa in their customized Sprinter van $($Van Life$).$ During their travel, they$$ve met many other people,

including digital nomads, casual campers and adventurers like themselves who were travelling solo or

with their whole family that were in all different types of modified and customized vans and even small

buses.

They came back to Vancouver and have discovered that there is overwhelming demand when they$$re

selling their van.

This gives the couple an idea that they wish your group to further research and develop into a possible

operating business. They envision setting up a warehouse that includes modification center where they

can help their customer design and customize their vehicle to each of their adventure needs.

Additional services will also be included in the space such as an area to wash and maintain the vehicles,

as well mechanics bays where people could work on their vehicles or have a mechanic$/$technician do this.

They also will be providing space where their customer could safely store their vehicle and have $24/7$

access when needed.

Details:

$$ Find a warehouse or building that could be converted for this operation

$$ All type of vans and small buses will be accepted for designing and modifications, not just

Mercedes Sprinter vans

$$ All modified vehicles must be able to live off grid for at least $5$ days in normal condition and in all

$$ Vehicles must be designed and customized to include insulation with heated$/$AC system, solar

panel and battery storage for power, have water system $($both clean and grey$),$ cooking area with

fridge and propane system, toilet and shower and eating$/$sleeping area. Be creative with the rest

while still be cognisant of the space constraint.

$$ Partner with suppliers who can provide vehicle parts, electrical and plumbing parts, vents &

windows, appliances and furniture as needed

$$ Their current customers are mainly located in west coast Canada and USA, but they plan to

penetrate the rest of the Canadian and American market.

They are excited about this business as it could generate money and involves something they love. Your

group needs to take their vision and develop an operating plan that would fully explain each of the details

and how they would inter$-$relate in this business.
