Noovo (Company)
[edit]Noovo, formerly known as Bemyvan, is an American company specializing in designing and manufacturing high-end, off-grid campervans. Founded in 2020 by French entrepreneurs Benoit Lafond, Paul Aubert, and Antoine Alberteau, the company is headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada. Noovo is recognized for its innovative approach to modern nomadic living, blending comfort, functionality, and advanced technology in the recreational vehicle (RV) industry.[1] [2][1][2]
Corporate History
[edit]Noovo began with three friends, Benoit Lafond, Paul Aubert, and Antoine Alberteau, who started their journey by converting a bus named Natasha into a mobile home, which inspired them to create high-end camper vans. This idea was rooted in their personal experience of crossing 16 countries and living on the road for a year.
The concept of Noovo was established in March 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, when the French founders decided to pivot from their previous travel company that transformed school buses into hotels[3], La Brigade Du Voyage, to creating self-sufficient campervans. This shift responded to the growing demand for off-grid living solutions as travel restrictions increased interest in road trips and autonomous lifestyles.
Starting from a 6,000-square-foot facility, Noovo expanded to a 20,000-square-foot facility in Las Vegas in May 2024. This move significantly boosted their production capabilities from one van per week to one or more per day, positioning Noovo as a key player in the American RV industry. [4][2][5][3]
Products and Services
[edit]Noovo campervans incorporate several features and design elements aimed at enhancing both functionality and comfort for users. Across all models, the vans are equipped with technologies such as airplane-style overhead storage bins, self-closing cabinets, and smart off-grid systems that include lithium battery options ranging from 660Ah to 1320Ah. The designs also feature integrated solar panels, induction stovetops, UV water filters, and compact microwaves, providing various amenities for extended off-grid living.
The interiors of the vans reflect a blend of practicality and aesthetics, with elements like rounded edges to maximize space, built-in toilets, full-size bathrooms, and digital monitors for managing energy and water use. Inspired by compact, efficient living spaces, such as tiny Parisian apartments[6], Noovo incorporates European craftsmanship into its van interiors to offer a balance between style and utility. Noovo offers several models designed to meet the varying needs of modern travelers. The company introduced three models in 2024, including the Noovo Plus which is Americas First 7" Super High Roof Campervan. [7]
Noovo Lite:
[edit]Noovo Lite is designed for digital nomads and adventurers, featuring advanced off-grid capabilities like a 660Ah to 1320Ah lithium battery system, 400W of rooftop solar panels, a UV water filter, and various smart storage solutions. It also includes a built-in induction stovetop, compact microwave, and a queen-sized bed, making it a self-sufficient option for extended travel[8]
Noovo Plus:
[edit]Noovo Plus is built on the Super High Roof Ram ProMaster chassis with a 7-foot interior height, a 12V electrical lift bed system, and additional features like a gourmet kitchen, solar power, and high-end finishes, which enhance both comfort and functionality for off-grid living and remote work. This model is noted for its innovative design and spacious interior that accommodates up to four people.[7][9]
Noovo Pop:
[edit]Designed for families or bigger groups, this model features a pop-up tent, smart storage, and a queen-sized bed, offering comfort and connectivity for off-grid living. It has been noted for its affordability and practicality for a wider audience.[10][11][12]

The company's recent expansion has allowed it to increase production and enhance its market presence, with plans to expand further into states across the United States. They offer nationwide shipping and have a network of service and maintenance partners across all 50 states to support their customers post-purchase.[2][4][13]
