Custom Camper Van Builds on Mercedes Sprinter and Ford Transit

Fully custom builds starting around $95,000. 8 to 12 weeks in production. Colorado-based, working with clients nationwide.

We design and build fully custom camper van conversions on Mercedes Sprinter and Ford Transit platforms. Every build is engineered from the ground up for the way you actually use it — whether that's weekend adventure, full-time living, or remote work on the road. We're based in Arvada, Colorado and work with clients across the country.

 

HOW THE PROCESS WORKS

  • We start with a short call to understand your scope, use case, and budget. You'll walk away with a ballpark number and a clear sense of whether we're the right fit. No cost, no commitment.

  • This is a 90-minute deep dive into every detail of your project. Pricing a custom camper van conversion accurately takes time. We charge $150 for this session, which comes off your final invoice if you move forward. You'll receive a detailed, itemized estimate at the end.

  • Once you approve the estimate, a $5,000 deposit secures your place in our production schedule. We typically book 3 to 6 months out.

  • Before production starts, we meet to finalize your layout, cabinetry, colors, and finishes. We produce a floor plan and 3D renderings for your approval. After this meeting, we invoice for parts and materials, typically 50% of the total build cost, so we can pre-order everything and be staged for your start date.

  • Your van goes into production. We send weekly photos and updates throughout the build. At the four to six week mark, we invoice for 50% of the remaining balance.

  • Plan to spend an afternoon with us. We walk you through every system in your van, answer your questions, and send you off with a user guide and component manuals. We recommend camping within a few hours of Denver for your first couple nights so we can quickly address anything that comes up.

Frequently Asked Questions About Custom-Built Vans

  • Custom campervan build-outs range from $85,000 to $180,000, not including the chassis. The final number depends on platform, systems, finishes, and complexity. Our instant estimator gives you a starting point in a few minutes

  • We are currently booking 3 to 6 months out. Spring through fall slots fill quickly. A $5,000 deposit holds your place in the schedule.

  • A complete custom-built van takes 8-12 weeks to build from the time your van arrives at our facility.

  • We build on Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Ford Transit, and Ram ProMaster vans in any length or height.

    Have something different? We are open to exploring other platforms.

  • Yes. We are a licensed Colorado dealer and can sell the chassis and build together as a complete package. We also work closely with several dealerships and a trusted used van broker if you prefer to source independently. Let us know what you need and we will point you in the right direction.

  • We provide a 1-year / 24,000-mile warranty on craftsmanship and materials. Components like fans, refrigerators, and electrical equipment are covered under their respective manufacturer warranties.

  • There are two common approaches, and which one makes sense depends on whether you're also purchasing the chassis through us or financing a build on a van you already own.

    If you're buying the van and the build together, Ford and Mercedes dealers will sometimes finance the chassis plus upfit as a package, typically up to $70,000–$80,000 on a five-year term. For anything beyond that, a separate loan for the build makes more sense.

    For build-only financing, lenders like LightStream and Trident Financial offer personal loans with terms up to 20 years. We also recommend checking with your credit union — they often have competitive options people overlook.

    One piece of advice we give every client: put as little down on the van as possible and keep your cash available for the build. The chassis is straightforward to finance. The build is less so, and having liquidity during the process gives you more flexibility.
