Our builds are specific to each van in our lineup, allowing us to provide the most affordable complete camper van conversion on the market. Our prices are less than a third of the cost of many custom builds. Our installs are quick, a mere four hours, not months on end. Minimal time creating your van = Maximum time creating memories.

Can your builds be used in other vans?
Our turnkey camper van conversions are created specific to each van in our lineup and can not be adapted to fit other vehicles. If we add other vans to our lineup, we will update our website. We do not offer Sprinter, Nissan or Transit mid roof conversions. Our conversions are only for cargo vans and not compatible with passenger vans.
How much does a conversion and van cost? We offer the most affordable complete camper van conversions. Our base kits range from $5,196 – 11,750.00 + tax. Installation is included free with all builds. New vans start at $24,480 – $52,000, while used vans are available at a wide range of prices depending on age and condition. Visit our shop page for more pricing information.
Can you help me get a new van? Yes. We have dealer partnerships with Dodge and Ford at both our Colorado Springs and Reno locations. We’ve ordered vans through them exclusively for our Wayfarer conversions that come with options that are otherwise hard to find, such as: dual swivel seats, rear backup camera, bluetooth, cruise control, navigation, tow package, windows in the sliding and rear doors and with exterior color options. Going through our dealer partners for a new van is a no-haggle experience. You can also finance the cost of the kit and van together, or purchase the kit separately. Note that our dealer partners do not stock the Promaster City. Drop us a line on our contact formif you are interested in purchasing a new van with our conversion kit.
How quickly can I get my van completed?
Our lead time varies depending on the current demand for builds. Over the past year, our lead time has ranged from 4-6 weeks from the time you make your purchase. Drop us a note on our contact form for the most up-to-date production timeline. Once you arrive at our shop, installation is a quick 3-4 hours or as simple as picking up the keys if you’ve opted to purchase the van through our dealership partner.
Is installation free, and do I need an appointment to have Wayfarer Vans complete my conversion?
Yes, installation is included with all of our builds and is free at either our Colorado Springs or Reno location. We do not ship kits for DIY installation for anything other than the Promaster City. Once you order your conversion, we will coordinate an installation date with you.
Can I modify my Wayfarer conversion?
We do not offer custom builds. Of course, where you take your Wayfarer conversion after it is installed is up to you. We provide everything you need – floor, walls, roof, bed, kitchen and storage. You can add on accessories and make modifications to make your Wayfarer one-of-a-kind. We have an owners-only Facebook group where post-install modifications are a popular topic.
Do you sell a la carte kit options?
We offer a shell package that includes our floor system, soft panels for the ceiling, wall and door trim. The shell package includes installation and all braces and insulation. Because all of our components are designed to work together, we can not modify what components are included in the shell package.
Can you transport more than two people in a Wayfarer Van?
The vans in our lineup do not include any back seat options. If you want to consider adding an additional seat through an aftermarket installer, we can adjust your build to allow space for a third seat. Please note that you should review all liabilities associated with installing an aftermarket seat. A Wayfarer Van is not an RV, therefore does not fall under the same road rules as an RV.
What if I want solar, ventilation, or other amenities in my Wayfarer?
We do offer many accessories that we can include in your purchase and install for you. Those items include: Maxx Air Deluxe Vent Fan, an Olympian Wave 3 heater, a vented window on the driver’s side wall, interior lighting, a Goal Zero power station and a Dometic CFX electric cooler. Since our conversion is 100 percent modular, all components of the build can easily be removed, allowing you to personalize your van to fit your needs.
Where is the bathroom?
There are many different types of portable toilets that work well with our kits: some that are self composting and cost well over a thousand dollars and others that are as simple as a 5 gallon bucket with a toilet lid. Note we do not have options for dedicated bathrooms in our builds – we prefer to keep our bathroom space separate from our sleeping and eating space
Can I get samples of the cushion fabrics before ordering a build?
Yes, we would be happy to send you free swatches of the cushion colors, just reach out to us through our contact form.
Can I wash the cushion covers?
Yes, the cushion covers are removable. We recommend washing them in cold or warm water and air drying them. They can also be spot or dry cleaned.
What type of insulation do you use?
We use Havelock wool to keep you warm on your camping adventures. It is all natural – wool insulation is entirely renewable and sustainable. It improves indoor air quality by not having any harmful chemicals in your walls and absorbing VOCs. It suppresses mold and mildew. It absorbs sound when your campground neighbors get a little too rowdy. The wool provides an r-value of about 9. With the the dense closed-cell foam on the underside of the floor and behind the soft paneling, the whole conversion sits at an r-value of about 13.
Can I rent a Wayfarer Van?
We do not rent vans directly. However, there are a few rental companies that have Wayfarer Vans in their fleet including Overland Discovery.
Where are Wayfarer Vans made?
We are a proud to make our vans in Colorado and Nevada – two of our favorite places to camp and adventure! Most of the components for our converions are handcrafted at our shops in Colorado Springs and Reno where we design, assemble and install our conversions. Our van builders are all outdoor enthusiasts and maintain the highest quality standards and workmanship.
What is your warranty policy?
We guarantee everything we make. If an element of your conversion has manufacturing defects or a problem due to our workmanship within three years from your purchase, we will make it right at no charge. We will also repair damage due to accidents or normal wear and tear, aka the dog ate my van cushions, at a reasonable charge. Third-party add-ons to conversions are subject to manufacturers’ warranties.
What’s your phone number?
Whoa, didn’t we just meet? All jokes aside, please reach out to us through our contact form to schedule a time to chat.
