Frequently Asked Questions

The things people ask on the first call. If yours is not here, ask it on a call and we will answer it properly.

How much does a campervan conversion cost?

Our four build tiers start at $144,295, with a $75,000 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter allowance included. We also build on the Ford Transit and Ram ProMaster. Not the conversion alone: the van as well, finished and ready to drive.

From there three things move the number, and you control all of them:

  • The van. A Mercedes-Benz Sprinter averages $75,000, a Ford Transit $57,000 and a Ram ProMaster $56,000.
  • Trim package. Essential is included. Adventure adds $12,500 and Summit adds $28,000, and each one pre-fills every system in the van rather than leaving you to spec it piece by piece.
  • Options. Solar, battery capacity, an indoor shower, air conditioning, a winch. Every one of them is priced before you pick it.

That puts Tailored builds from $144,295 for a McKinley to $202,395 and up for an El Capitan, van included. A Bespoke build, drawn from nothing rather than from a floor plan, runs $250,000 to $350,000.

Every tier's starting price is on our build tiers page, van included. Tell us what you want to add and we will price it with you on a call.

Do I need to provide the van, or can you source one?

We source it. Our pricing includes the van, and we buy through dealerships we already work with. If you already own a Sprinter, Transit or ProMaster, bring it and we will price the build on its own.

What does custom actually mean?

That we will build the layout you want rather than the one that is easiest for us. The limits are the shape of the van and a short list of materials we will not work with. Everything else is a conversation.

Can I stay off grid, and for how long?

Yes, and that is most of what the electrical spec buys you. Lithium batteries, 400W or 600W of solar and a diesel heater mean days out without a hookup rather than hours. The exact number depends on the weather and whether you are running air conditioning.

How does the electrical system work?

Solar charges a lithium bank, the van runs at 12V off that bank, and an inverter makes 110V for ordinary household outlets. It also charges while you drive. An RV has to be plugged in; this does not.

Do you offer financing?

Yes. We can finance the build and the van together, or the build on its own. See Financing.

Can I choose the finishes?

You pick flooring, wall panels, cabinet faces and countertop from our swatch sets. We keep those materials in stock, so choosing from them does not hold up your build while something ships.

What insulation do you use?

Havelock wool in the premium insulation package. It handles moisture better than foam, which matters in a van that gets cooked in Phoenix and slept in at 20 degrees.

Can I have a bathroom and a shower inside?

Yes. Every build can carry an exterior shower, and an enclosed indoor shower and toilet fit in most of the floor plans. Each floor plan page lists what its layout includes.

How many people can it sleep?

Two to six depending on the floor plan, the chassis length and whether you add a pop-top.

Do you work on a van you did not build?

Yes. Our Service Department takes repairs, upgrades and unfinished DIY builds on vans, campers and skoolies.

Still deciding?

Fifteen minutes on the phone beats a week of reading.
