Kia Sedona Camper Conversion: 9 Inspiring Examples and Conversion Kits

The Kia Sedona minivan camper version is a great idea for those wanting to start van life on a budget. This small minivan can easily be converted into a camper van, has good gas mileage, and provides a great driving experience.

You might never have considered a Kia Sedona minivan for your camper conversion needs, but we’re here to tell you it could take you on the road trip of your dreams!

What is a Kia Sedona?

The short answer is that a Kia Sedona is a small van that is less expensive than other luxury vans like the Grand Caravan. If you’re looking to convert a minivan into a camper, you might as well save money and buy a Kia Sedona.

The back seats are easily removable, allowing you to convert the van into a camper van. You will have room to include a bed to sleep on, a small table, and maybe even a small porta potty.

Kia Sedona Camper Conversion Kits

If you’re not sure how to turn your Kia Sedona into a minivan camper, you don’t need to worry. There are multiple kits out there specifically for a Kia Sedona camper conversion.

Roadloft Kia Sedona Camper Conversion Kit

Minivan Lee – fashionista Kia Sedona van life

If you ever wondered if fashion and van life can go together, Minivan Lee seems to have it figured out!

Minivan Lee is retired and has been living full-time in her self-converted Kia Sedona. She chose a simple “no build” that anyone could do! You can see her full setup on her YouTube channel.

Simply removing the seats and using some totes and collapsible cubes, she’s made a cozy little home that works well for both urban stealth parking and boondocking.

Vanlife Rox with another no-build Kia Sedona Camper

Rox Revenharte started vanlife in a no-build conversion for his Kia Sedona. He only used recycled and repurposed items for the interior. There’s even a mini recording studio inside so he could work from the minivan. He included a battery bank in the console to power his laptop and other electronics.

He opted to leave the seats in the van to utilize the seats for other things. There’s a basic cooler in the back, and has additional storage in the roof box on top of the van.

Rox has since transitioned into a larger shuttle bus van conversion that he’s made into an off-grid party bus.
