Auckland Conversion Workshop

Campervan conversions in Auckland for the van you already own.

Bought your own vehicle? Great. We'll transform any van — small, mid-size or large — into a proper camper, built by hand at our Auckland yard with the bed, kitchen, water and power setup you actually need.

Full camper fit-out

Fresh and waste water, fixed toilet, sink, cooker, fridge, bed platform and timber ceiling — built around how you'll use the van.

Custom fit-out to your spec

Weekend surf-wagon, long-haul tourer, dog-friendly setup, work-from-van build. Tell us how you'll use it and we'll design the layout around that.

Any make, any size

Toyota Hiace, Nissan NV200, Ford Transit Custom, VW Transporter, Mercedes Sprinter, Hyundai iLoad, Renault Trafic — tell us what you've got and we'll advise whether it suits.

How the conversion works

  1. 01
    Chat

    Message on WhatsApp with your van's make, model, year and what you want to use it for.

  2. 02
    Design & quote

    We map out a layout, list the add-ons you want, and give you a quote.

  3. 03
    Build

    You drop the van at our Auckland yard. We build it — timber ceiling, kitchen, bed, water, power.

  4. 04
    Collect & drive

    We hand back the keys and walk you through every system. If you want certification, you book it with a Certification Authority.

Optional Extras

Add-ons for any camper

Everything below can be fitted to a van we've built you or to a van you already own. Mix and match — most add-ons are installed in a day or two.

Solar panels

Roof-mounted solar to keep the fridge cold and phones charged off-grid — sized to your battery and use.

Second / lithium house battery

Deep-cycle or lithium auxiliary battery with DC-DC charger so you can run lights, fridge and USB overnight without draining the starter.

Apple CarPlay head-unit

Modern touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto — Google Maps, Spotify and calls from your phone.

Reversing camera

Wired-in reversing camera on the head-unit — makes parking a big van dramatically easier.

Inverter (240V power)

Pure-sine inverter so you can plug in laptops, camera chargers and small kitchen gear off the house battery.

USB & 12V outlets

Extra USB-C, USB-A and 12V sockets wired around the bed and kitchen so charging isn't a hassle.

Insulation & carpet lining

Wall and ceiling insulation with carpet or vinyl lining — quieter, warmer, and looks properly finished.

Diesel heater

Small diesel heater for shoulder-season and South Island trips — safe, dry heat that runs off your fuel tank.

Want something not on the list? Ask us — if it's van-related, we've probably fitted it.

About self-containment

Facilities vs certification — the honest version.

We can fit the facilities a self-contained setup needs, but certification is a separate step: an independent Certification Authority inspects the finished van and, if it meets the rules, issues a certificate and green warrant. We don't promise that a conversion will pass. Read our guide to self-containment in NZ.

  • ✓Fresh & waste water tanks plumbed in
  • ✓Fixed toilet options
  • ✓Sink with electric tap
  • ✓Rubbish storage
  • ✓Certification is booked by you with a Certification Authority

Common questions

Which vans can you convert into a camper?

Yes — small vans like the Toyota Hiace, Nissan NV200 and Ford Transit Custom through to bigger vans like the Mercedes Sprinter, Ford Transit and Hyundai iLoad. Message us the details and we'll tell you if it suits.

How long does a full conversion take?

It depends on the layout and add-ons you choose. Jacob will give you a timeframe with your quote.

Can I add solar or Apple CarPlay to a van I already own — without a full conversion?

Yes. All of our add-ons can be booked as standalone jobs, whether you bought the van from us or somewhere else.

Already Thinking About a Van?

Rather buy a finished campervan?
