12 Campervan Conversion Kits for a DIY Van Build

If you’re dreaming about a campervan but don’t want to spend months, if not years, building out a van, campervan conversion kits might be what you’re looking for.

Campervan conversion kits are somewhere between a DIY conversion and a custom build. You get quality parts, and either install them yourself or hire an installer.

We used a couple of conversion kits on our new Sprinter van: The Flarespace system with Super Flyweight Bed, and the Titan Vans paper templates and structural assembly for Sprinter vans.

Camper van conversion kits just make the entire process easier, and way faster.

Here are some of our favorite companies to check out.

#1 Adventure Wagon Interior Kits

• Van Type: Mercedes Sprinter and Ford Transit
• Cost: Starting at $13,500
• What They Offer: Full interior kits, including complete wiring harness, insulation, ceiling fan, L-track, wall and ceiling panels, molded trim and wall and ceiling bracers

We had the chance to visit Adventure Wagon just outside Portland, Oregon, and were really impressed by what they offer.

Their high-quality interior kits make your van livable in a few weekends if you’re a DIYer, and a few days if you get the kit installed. If you live or are traveling near Portland, you can take your van right to their facility and Adventure Wagon will install the interior kit in just 5 days.

These camper van conversion kits can be made to fit with the Flarespace bed system, which allows you to sleep sideways.

Or, you can use the Adventure Wagon L-track system to create a van bed that suits you best. This can either be the MOAB bed, which you can raise and lower depending on your needs, or MONK beds, which are bunk beds. You can even install TWO Moab beds to create a queen-bed bunk system.

You can choose between four fabric colors for your interior wall paneling, or order the kit with bare plywood if you want to paint or add your own material.

We think the Adventure Wagon interior kit is a great jumping-off point for van life if you have a Transit or Sprinter. The L-track system lets you add on other products easily, like kitchen units or cabinetry.

Adventure Wagon also sells soft upper cabinets, MOAB beds and MONK beds.

# 2 Esplori Lightweight Van Interior Kit

• Van Type: Mercedes Sprinter
• Cost: $13,000-$18,000 depending on DIY or professional install
• What They Offer: Lightweight aluminum panels, fan, reinforced L-track, lights, wiring panel, insulation and soundproofing

The newest campervan conversion kit we’re super excited about is by the van conversion company Esplori, located in Bend, Oregon.

Esplori’s mission is to create lightweight campervan conversions, perfect for off-roading and keeping that gas mileage number down.

These complete campervan interior kits use aluminum and are 40% lighter than using traditional materials. The wall and ceiling panels are powder-coated, which has no which has not VOC off-gas.

Powder-coated aluminum holds up better than carpet or wood in an automotive setting and provides a streamlined look. Aluminum is also super easy to clean.

There are three options for the Esplori aluminum interior kit: A DIY installation, assisted DIY, and a professional install at Esplori headquarters.

This is the first aluminum kit we’ve seen and if you’re looking for a lightweight van build, it’s something to check out.

3. Flarespace Bed Systems

• Van Type: Mercedes Sprinter, Ford Transit, Ram Promaster, VW Crafter, Nissan NV and Ford E-Series
• Cost: Starting at $2,000
• What They Offer: Fiberglass flares to sleep sideways, trim rings, interior finishing kits, bed systems and interior paneling

The first project we did on our new Sprinter van conversion was adding Flarespace flares to the rear panels. Flarespace flares allow us to sleep sideways, especially important for a smaller van like our 144′ wheelbase.

This campervan conversion kit frees up tons more space inside a van!

You can either DIY the Flarespace install or take it to a custom installer. We chose DIY our project. We took the flares to an auto body shop for paint matching, cut holes in the van and glued in the flares.

We then used the interior trim rings and interior finish kit to round out the look. The Flarespace flare system is a top-notch product that we highly recommend. We couldn’t be happier.

We also installed their Super Fly Weight Bed System, which is incredibly lightweight – one of our main goals for our build. The panels are a little wobbly so we did add some structural support for a firmer bed, but that’s entirely up to you.

We loved the Flarespace van conversion kit and highly recommend it.

#4 Flatline Van Company Conversion Kits

• Van Type: Mercedes Sprinter and Ford Transits, with Promasters coming soon
• Cost: Starting at $2,000
• What They Offer: Kitchen units, cabinetry, bed systems and interior storage solutions like headliners and bins

Flatline Van Company’s goal is to give you a toolkit to help you build out a van yourself using quality products. You can easily mount any of their components in conjunction with the Adventure Wagon interior kit. Or, you can build your own brackets and attachments.

You’ll find 24″ and 48″ van kitchen units , bed systems that go with Flarespace flares or without, storage and wheel well cubbies, cabinetry and headliner shelves.

Flatline compares themselves a little bit to Ikea – where you can pick products that match and create a finished interior.

While many companies struggle with shipping and delays, Flatline is dedicated to keeping its website up to date. If you see the item available online, it is in stock and will be shipped within a few days.

If you’re also looking to upgrade your van’s interior, Flatline also offers a variety of roof racks, awnings and ladders.

We loved touring this van conversion kit company just outside Portland, Oregon and were impressed with their plug-and-play products for campervans.

#5 Titan Vans DIY Conversion Kits

• Van Type: Mercedes Sprinter, Ram Promaster, Ford Transit
• Cost: $300+
• What They Offer: Interior components like fresh and grey water tanks, kitchen units, shelf and headliner kits, panels, L-tracks, structural assemblies, wall panels and wall templates

We used a couple of products from Titan Vans DIY Kits in our Sprinter van build so far and they’ve really helped us with our interior. The paper templates for the interior wall panels came in handy, as did the structural assembly for Sprinters, which helped us line up the wall and ceiling panels.

Titan also offers lots of other components such as kitchen units, upper cabinetry, water systems, heating, additional seating and accessories.

Add a captain’s chair, two person bench seat or a full seat kit to your van.

You can easily mix and match this van conversion kit based on your needs – maybe you’d prefer having two beds than lots of storage, or perhaps you need two coolers for even longer adventures in the wilderness.
