Frequently Asked Van Building Questions
How much does it cost to convert a van?
The cost of van conversions can really vary. If you bring your own van, our recommended 4 season build usually starts at around 55k. You can check out the pre-built conversion vans we currently have available here.
How long does a full van conversion usually take?
Usually, our van conversions take around 7-8 weeks to complete. Keep in mind that some products might have longer lead times, which could affect the overall duration of your build.
Do you work on Dodge Promaster or Ford Transit vans?
Yes, we work on any make and model.
What does it cost to install a heater in my van?
Installing a heater can cost anywhere from $650 to $1,200 plus the price of the heater. The main installation cost determinant is where the heater will be installed in your van. Some common spots for installation include under the passenger seat or in a cabinet. We use heaters from these brands: Webasto and Espar.
Do you work on other van builder conversions?
Absolutely! We work on all types of van conversions and we'd be thrilled to help you finish building your dream van. We can also repair or fix other conversions as well!
How much does it cost to put an awning on my van?
To get an awning installed, it starts at $600.00, plus the cost of the awning itself. If we need to make custom brackets, the price might be a bit higher.
Should I go for a propane or induction stove in my van build?
Well, both types of stoves have their pros and cons. An induction stove is great because it boils water super fast, but keep in mind that it runs on your battery. So, you'll need to be aware of your battery usage. If your battery dies, you won't be able to use the stove or any other electronic devices in your van.
On the other hand, propane stoves may not heat up water as quickly as induction stoves, but they give you precise control over your cooking temperature. Plus, you won't be draining your battery to run them.
Do you take on small jobs?
Absolutely! Whether your project is big or small, we're here to help you build the van of your dreams for your awesome adventures.
Can you handle conversion van electrical power systems?
Yes, we have a ton of experience working on off-grid 12v, 24v, and 48v electrical systems. We'll make sure your power setup is just right.
Is it worth the extra cost to go for 80/20 extruded aluminum?
Definitely. 80/20 extruded aluminum is totally worth it! It's super lightweight but incredibly strong and rigid. That rigidity makes it perfect for creating a quiet and durable ride without adding extra weight.
