The Van Owner's Guide
A single, practical reference for anyone buying or owning a custom van conversion. Insurance, registration, builder evaluation, realistic costs, and the questions to ask at every stage.
The guide is currently in development. Sign up below to be notified when it launches.
What's inside
- Evaluating a builder. Red flags that should stop a conversation, green flags worth paying attention to, and the contract clauses that protect you if something goes wrong.
- Insurance, explained. Which carriers actually write policies on converted vans, what "agreed value" means in practice, and how to avoid the most common coverage gaps.
- Registration by state. The state-by-state differences that trip up first-time owners: inspection requirements, reclassification forms, and the VLF traps nobody warns you about.
- Realistic cost ranges. What builds actually cost by platform and scope, where the budget overruns happen, and what's worth spending more on.
- The questions to ask. At every stage: before signing, during the build, at delivery, and when something goes wrong after the fact.
