When GearJunkie takes a closer look at a camper van, they’re not just kicking tires, they’re checking power systems, layout flow, and what actually holds up in the wild. That’s why we were honored to see the Flatiron featured in a hands-on review by veteran journalist Will Brendza, who’s spent years testing gear and camper vans in real-world conditions.
In his words, the Flatiron is “one of the nicest, most comfortable road camping trips I’ve ever been on.”
He called it a “comparatively affordable route” to owning a premium Sprinter van, with “premium quality” materials and “very capable” off-road performance.
A Review That Goes Beyond the Surface
In his detailed breakdown, Brendza evaluated everything from build time and insulation to the solar system, storage layout, and off-road performance. He didn’t find flashy gimmicks or unnecessary complexity. What stood out was simplicity that worked.
“It’s hard to beat what Geotrek’s doing.”
He praised the intuitive power system, user-friendly layout, thoughtful cabinetry, and the fact that the van “just works” — even during a five-day remote work trip through Colorado’s mountains.
Why That Matters
We didn’t design the Flatiron to chase trends. We built it to solve real problems van owners face:
- How do you stay powered off-grid without constantly monitoring your battery?
- How do you bring bikes, gear, and dogs without sacrificing comfort?
- How do you avoid the long custom build timelines — and still get premium quality?
Brendza saw those solutions in action, and the verdict was clear: the Flatiron delivers on what matters most.
Same Build Quality as Custom – Without the Wait
The Flatiron is one of two flagship models at Geotrek, built in-house on a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis. With premium materials, off-grid power systems, and no dealer markups, it’s designed to give you everything a custom van would — without the custom price or wait.
