Common Questions

Our builds range from $30,000 to $120,000+ depending on the tier and scope. Basic builds run $30K–$50K, Standard builds $55K–$75K, and Premium builds $80K–$120K+. These are package totals including labor and materials — the vehicle is not included. Every quote is broken down by system so you know exactly where your money is going. See our full van conversion cost breakdown or learn what affects the price.

Basic builds take 6–8 weeks, Standard builds 8–12 weeks, and Premium builds 12–16+ weeks. Timelines depend on the scope of the build, not the platform. We'll give you a realistic timeline during the quoting process.

We don't sell vehicles — you bring the van (or trailer) and we build it out. We're happy to help you figure out what to look for when buying, and we can advise on which platform and configuration works best for your build. Read our guide on how to choose a van.

We build on Mercedes Sprinters, RAM ProMasters, Ford Transits, and cargo trailers. Each platform has its strengths and we can help you pick the right one during your consultation.

Absolutely. Our shop is in San Diego, CA, and the door is open. We keep you updated with photos and progress check-ins throughout the build, but you're welcome to come see it in person anytime.

A $6,000 deposit secures your build slot. When we're ready to start, you sign the full contract and pay 50% of the total (minus the deposit). At the halfway point, 20% is due. The remaining balance is due at completion and handoff.

We do both. If you've already started a build and need help finishing specific systems — electrical, plumbing, climate control, cabinetry — we can scope that out. We also do consulting if you're building it yourself and want expert guidance.

We're based in North County San Diego and work with clients across San Diego, Orange County, Los Angeles, and the Inland Empire. Most clients drop their vehicle off at our shop and pick it up when the build is complete.

Every quote is broken down by system: interior, electrical, plumbing, climate control, and exterior. Each line item shows exactly what you're getting and what it costs. No hidden fees, no mystery line items. You approve everything before we start.

We don't offer in-house financing, but many of our clients use personal loans, RV loans, or home equity lines to finance their builds. We're happy to provide detailed quotes that you can take to a lender. Read more about van build financing options.
