How long does it take to convert a van?

It's a question everyone asks themselves when they're getting started: how long does it take to convert a van? There's no single answer, as it all depends on your goals, your schedule... and your motivation. Here's everything you need to know to help you get a clear picture.

A realistic estimate: between 200 and 400 hours

If you start with an empty van and want to get a complete converted van (insulation, electricity, furniture, water, etc.), count:

• 200 to 250 hours for a simple, well-prepared layout
• 300 to 400 hours for a complete installation with all systems (water, gas, shower, 230V, etc.)

This could mean several months of part-time work , or 4 to 6 weeks of full-time work if you dedicate yourself to it every day.
