We are currently booking full conversions for Spring 2026.
We specialize in full conversions on the Mercedes Sprinter, Ford Transit, and RAM Promaster platforms. We also take on partial conversions and smaller projects on a variety of other vehicles. We’re always excited to explore new ideas, so feel free to contact us to discuss how we can bring your project to life.
A full van conversion typically takes about 3 to 5 months from initial planning to completion. This timeline includes the design phase, creation of detailed 3D build drawings, sourcing materials, and the full build process itself. On average, we schedule approximately 3 months of dedicated shop time for each conversion. The exact duration can vary depending on the scope and complexity of your project.
Our van builds are completely custom and tailored to each client’s unique needs and vision. However, we do offer a Standard Interior Finish Package, which includes wall and ceiling panelling, a basic electrical system, a roof vent, and a removable aluminum bed system. This package is a great starting point for clients looking for a streamlined and budget-friendly foundation for their conversion.
Yes, we offer installation services in our dedicated install bay, where we can professionally install components such as heaters, AC units, flares, windows, skylights, and electrical systems for your DIY build. We also provide select repair services. Our install bay tends to book up in advance, so we recommend contacting us early to schedule an appointment.
We don’t currently sell pre-converted vans, but we’re happy to help you source the right van to begin your custom conversion. Our team can guide you through the process and recommend options that best suit your build and budget.
We don’t supply the van for the build—clients bring their own vans to us for conversion. However, if you're looking for a vehicle, we can connect you with trusted sources and help you find the right van to start your project.
Build costs vary depending on the scope and features of each project, as every conversion is tailored to the client’s specific needs. On average, our full builds range from $85,000 to $150,000 CAD, depending on the options, materials, and systems you choose for your van.

Yes, we’re happy to work with clients from the USA. The only requirement is that you provide your own van for us to complete the conversion. We’ll guide you through the process to make the experience as smooth as possible.
Yes, we stand behind the quality of every van conversion we build. Each Pura Vida Vans conversion is covered by a 3-year build warranty from the date of delivery. If a substantial defect in workmanship arises during the warranty period, and we receive a valid claim, we will repair the defect.
