Heres an option. Benches with or without the pullout sink, table makes a bed. This setup is more then a simple fixed bed of course, but it is more multifunctional. Add in the top bunk which i was able to make 5ft wide by 6ft long, thats what he wanted and really good for storage too. Added the double flip up seat, solar and dcdc charger, electrical inside driver side bench, 4 windows, 1 window opens, air conditioner, diesel heater, 10 gallon water tank and plumbing along with sink table is in the passanger bench, water heater isnt usually needed and I dont think I could fit that into this one bench. Any van works, this guy drove his from CA and I met him near Colorado springs airport on pickup and delivery.

Get your quotes for something similar and you'll see I am well below every company you'll talk to. I hear it all the time. People come from all over the country, some ship the vans, some drive and fly, sometimes I can pickup or deliver or meet at airport. Buena Vista, Colorado. My shop is on my property and I do everything myself. Why pay a company with 10+ employees who are mostly very young adults and huge shop rent, oh and good luck talking to the owner or someone who cares when something goes wrong. With me, you'll get my personal phone number, a friend and even know where I live 😅 any van works. Partial and full builds. vanconversion

You can spend way too much money with the wrong builder so be careful out there. Now of course there are some great builders, but is it worth spending $40k more for a similar build and maybe even more generic? Another thing I hear all the time is good luck being able to talk to the owner of a big company 4 months after you pay and havent received your van yet. My full builds take about 3 weeks and are half the price. I do it all myself, you work with me, the owner/builder/only person in the company. Any van works. Message me to book your build. Drop your van off at my shop in Buena Vista, Colorado. People come from all over the country so i can help bring you to the airport or deliver van or whatever has to happen.

Buy an empty van and getting it built out to your needs is much better and safer and way smarter use of your money than buying a van with a diy build. Unless your buying it knowing you are OK with ripping the current build out and redoing it, I've done it enough to know it's not uncommon. But with this one, go offroading a few times and the ceiling could collapse, the AC never worked because its the wrong battery setup, but i will gut this build and redo new.

Any van works. Partial and full builds. People come from all over the country, big builders can't compete with my prices, I dont have employees and my shop is on my property. Another perk, you talk and work directly with me, the owner/builder and have 24/7 communication and get to watch daily updates on my story. I only build one at a time, giving yours all my attention. I can help pickup or drive to airport or maybe drive your van here.
DETAILS: 4 windows, 1 opens, 12v Air conditioner, 600 ah lithium battery, 200w solar, dcdc charger, 3000w inverter, lonseal floor, insulation and sound deadening, fixed bed in recessed panels, walls, ceiling, diesel heater, 4ft bench hiding electrical with cushions, tv on swivel mount, multiple lighting options, outlets and usb ports. 3 week build.

This couple bought this new Ford Transit in Northern CA, I flew into John Wayne Airport in southern California to meet them and drive it back to Colorado to build it. They will fly in and pick it up. Build price around $25k, stay tuned. People come from all over the country, most drive or shipping is an option, or if needed I can come pick up and/or deliver if I have the time but I do my best. Spot open after this in about 3 weeks. Any van works. #

My last 6 builds since moving to Colorado. Any van works. These can all be duplicated for around $25k depending on a few things, mainly in these cases the 2 captain swivel seats were $5k so they spent $30k+. I love big windows, you can get a few and stay around $25k. Closer to $20k with no windows but it can depend on other features like air conditioner and electrical needs, fixed bed is cheaper than benches, benches are more multifunctional with storage, table makes a bed, 4ft pullout table, but still...$25k is my average with all those nice to haves. I do it all myself, no need to pay double the price for a big company with a bunch of employees and a huge shop, I've seen and heard all the horror stories from big companies. Save your money, go with 1 guy who does it all. My shop is on my property, come check it out! Pay once, enjoy forever. Buena Vista, Colorado. #

Ford transit high roof long wheel base not extended length. Simple. Spacious. Cozy. -> 2 windows, 1 opens. 12v Air conditioner, 200w solar, dcdc charger, 300ah lithium battery (can add more), 3000w inverter, diesel heater, 2 benches with storage, table makes a bed, cushions, double flip up seat, lonseal teak floor, walls and ceiling with lights and outlets all around. Lots of wall space for decore and anything else. Add more or less. Any van works. Ballpark $24k. They drove, dropped off and made it to the airport on their own but if needed i could bring you. When finished I dropped off in Denver and they picked up.

2026 Ford Transit high roof extended, same van as mine and the one I will always recommend. But any van works for me as a builder. He drove it from New Hampshire and picked it up a month later. Table makes a bed, storage in benches, cushions, removeable top hammock for kids, diesel heater, 12v Air conditioner, 200w solar, roof rack and ladder, 3000w inverter, 600ah lithium battery, dcdc charger, insulation, 4 windows, 2 swivel cpts seats, tv on swivel mount, barn doors that shut and lock, separate hangout area in back which is so nice having the 2 spaces. She wanted a private bathroom and I think this is way better then a boxed in room behind the driver seat taking up a lot of room. The back can be storage, bathroom and a hang out area by putting a couple chairs back there. Daily driver, cabin, and anything else you want it to be! Ballpark price without the cpts seats and roof rack, $27k. Read and look carefully, get your quotes and come back when you see what double the price gets you from a bigger company 😉 Ive seen and heard it all, be careful out there. I do it all myself, no employees, you talk directly with me, the owner/builder.
