Frequently Asked Questions

We've answered the most common questions we hear from clients across Canada about custom van conversions, off-grid builds, pricing, and timelines. Don't see what you're looking for? Send us an email and we'll get back to you.

Do you only build the floorplans on your site?


Every build is completely custom. The floorplans on our site are examples of past van conversions - your campervan is built to whatever spec, layout, or design you have in mind.

How much does a custom van conversion cost?

Our custom camper van conversions range from $45,000 to $100,000+ CAD depending on your specs. The average full custom conversion runs around $70,000 CAD, not including the van itself.

Can you use the van year round?

All of our builds are four season camper conversions built for Canadian weather. That means full insulation and built-in heating for winter, plus ventilation and AC options for summer. Off-grid and ready for any condition.

Do you do partial conversions?

Absolutely. Plenty of people want to tackle parts of their camper van build themselves - that's no problem. Partial conversions can include electrical, plumbing, roof vents, insulation, parts supply, and more. Reach out for a quote on as much or as little as you need.

Do you sell the empty vans? Where do I get one?

We don't sell vans directly, but we have a network of dealers who know their stuff and can get you the best price on the right vehicle. Send us an email with what you're looking for and we'll connect you.

What does "off grid " mean?

Off-grid means your adventure van is completely self-sufficient - no electrical or water hookups needed. Every build includes onboard batteries, solar panels, and interior water tanks so your lights, fridge, fans, and outlets run entirely on solar power wherever you are.

How long does a custom van conversion take?

Build times vary based on scope and our current schedule. A full custom campervan conversion typically takes 8 to 16 weeks from project start. We'll give you a clear timeline during your consultation based on your specific build.

Is a custom van conversion worth it compared to buying a pre-built RV?

A custom off-grid camper van is built exactly to your specs, your budget, and your adventure style. Unlike a pre-built RV, you're not paying for features you don't need or compromising on the ones you do. For four season use in Western Canada specifically, a properly insulated and heated van conversion outperforms most small RVs in capability and running costs.
