We designed the 2025 Bear Peak and Flatiron models to solve a frustrating problem: most vans are either overloaded with fluff or too stripped down to be practical.
After hundreds of custom builds and feedback from real vanlifers, we built two rigs that reflect what people actually want.
This comparison breaks down the key differences between the Bear Peak and Flatiron—so you can figure out which one fits your life. Whether you’re looking for simplicity and room to grow, or comfort and capability straight from the jump, you’ll see how each model stacks up when it comes to layout, systems, and how you actually use it on the road.
Geotrek Van Comparison Specs
Layout & Space
Bear Peak
Efficient and open with everything in reach.
Bear Peak’s interior is simple by design—giving you the essentials without clutter. The layout maximizes space around the galley, bed, and seating to make life on the road feel intuitive and easy.
Flatiron
More comfort, more systems, more capability.
Flatiron takes the core layout and upgrades it with additional features like A/C, a larger water system, tire and alternator upgrades, and an outdoor shower—designed for travelers who want a little more out of their everyday experience.
Power System
Bear Peak
✓ 4kWh EcoFlow system
Delivers everything you need to power essentials, charge devices, and stay off-grid for weekend or mid-length trips. Expandable if your needs grow.
Flatiron
✓ 10kWh EcoFlow system
A serious power setup designed for those who want full off-grid independence—with enough juice to run A/C, induction cooktops, and more for extended stays.
Heating, Cooling & Insulation
Bear Peak
✓ Espar heater, thermal barrier insulation
Reliable and efficient heat to stay cozy through cold nights. Built for year-round use with solid temperature control.
Flatiron
✓ Espar heater + Nomadic 12V A/C
Same great heat as Bear Peak—with the added comfort of A/C for summer travel. Paired with upgraded insulation for better climate control.
Water & Shower Setup
Bear Peak
✓ 5-gallon grey water tank
Efficient and straightforward. Ideal for short trips, lighter water use, or travelers who prefer to keep things simple.
Flatiron
✓ 22-gallon grey water tank
✓ Outdoor shower + electric water heater
A larger grey tank gives you more breathing room between dump stations, and the built-in electric heater adds another layer of comfort.
Interior Features (Both Models)
✓ Headliner shelf
✓ Fold-down “Happy Hour” table
Both vans come standard with the everyday essentials: upper storage up front and a fold-down table for work, meals, or post-adventure brews.
Wheels, Exterior & Build Style
Bear Peak
✓ Maxxair fan, roof rails
Lightweight and ready for the basics. Outfitted to get you on the road with room to grow later.
Flatiron
✓ BFG KO3 tires, Maxxair fan, roof rails, running boards
Adds more rugged capability and comfort upgrades right from the start. Built for travel that’s a little more dialed-in.
Upgrade Potential
Both vans are built to grow with you. Want to add features down the line? Easy. We intentionally designed both models to be customizable so you’re never locked in. Start with what fits now—and evolve as your adventures do.
So How Do You Decide?
If you’re the kind of traveler who values simplicity, essentials, and the freedom to customize later — Bear Peak might be your perfect match. It’s streamlined, capable, and gets you on the road without the fluff.
If you’re looking for extra comfort, more storage, and upgrades already built in — Flatiron might feel more like home. It’s ready for longer trips, shared adventures, or just a little more ease from day one.
