“Kage is the best fabricator and installer we have hired to date! Our roof rack that was originally installed by a professional builder (rack was not even a year old); the original steel rack was rusting and leaking rust water down our van. Kage used aluminum instead and powder coated the rails and even the mounting brackets! It's been over 4 years and we have had absolutely no issues with his roof rack design. He even installed a Victron Orion alternator charger after the other guy wouldn't warranty his failed alternator charger he'd installed. Highly recommend if you're looking for quality work and ongoing service."

“I met Kage and Ellie while they were at an electrical supplier and I was inspired to do my own van build after seeing what’s possible. As a woodworker by trade I was able to do all the custom cabinetry but felt out of my depth doing the power system. Kage sat down with me to go over my power requirements and designed a system that after 3 years is still going strong! He uses top of the line products from Victron and I had a van up and running with power in 4 days. Would have taken me ages with no guarantee it would work if I had done it myself! Love his work, attitude, and customer service.”

“We bought an old schoolbus but we desperately needed it to have a functioning power system after our Ecoflow power box stopped working after only one trip. Kage was the right guy for us as we’d already paid other people for crappy workmanship in the bus that failed. He installed 4 solar panels and a full Victron power system. Also got AC running directly off the panels, a custom built couch that turns into a bed, and usable storage cabinetry. All this made our last summer trip in 2024 outstanding!”

“Our van’s power system suddenly stopped working in below freezing Canadian temperatures and we desperately needed it replaced asap before travelling 4,200 km to British Columbia. We had met Kage and Ellie at a vanlife community meetup that summer and decided to ask Kage for help. He invited us over to his workshop and spent the next 3 days installing a Victron power system that is way more reliable than what we’d been working with before. These two get a 5 star review! 5 star for service and 5 star for being wonderful people!“

“Kage came to my rescue when my alternator charger suddenly stopped working and I was left without power in the van. It was really stressful and Kage heard about my situation through word of mouth in the Van Community and he reached out. He said he’d meet me where I was and immediately installed a quality Victron Orion Alternator Charger that is still going strong after 4 years. He cared enough to call me to see if I was alright and then come up with a plan to solve my alternator problem. He truly cares and will do everything in his power to see that you’re gonna be okay.”

“We were travelling and realized we needed to upgrade our inverter for a more powerful one. Kage was happy to help with this small job and spent his weekend installing the new inverter and wiring. He’s knowledgeable and personable. He’s eager to share his nomadic insights for anyone new on the road and wants to make sure you’re set up properly for the type of adventuring you want to do. We’re mostly off-grid in our camper truck and appreciate we now have the right inverter to meet our needs.”

“I run a snow removal company during the winter and take off out-backing to British Columbia during the summer. I bought a van that I’ve converted myself but really needed a licensed electrician to install my power system so that I could get proper insurance coverage. I wasn’t able to come to Kage’s workshop so he came to me even in the middle of January! Kage has a mobile workshop in his cargo trailer with everything he needed to do my van’s work. After I saw his trailer tour video I knew he was a professional who would be prepared, do good quality work, and leave me with a system that would last for the long haul. Thanks man!”
