EXCELLENT van builds at reasonable prices. Kurt and his whole team were incredibly kind and friendly from start to finish, helping me with suggestions and a few custom additions to make my dream mini-van build out a huge win. The quality of the materials used is top-notch, the foam mattress is so comfy, and the design is modern and clean. Plus, these vans are a fraction of the cost of similar builders. Five stars well-earned!

When I decided to convert a 2021 Ford Transit Connect into a mini camper van, I searched nationally for companies that might do this for me. Although it was disappointing to find that only a very few of the growing number of van conversion companies would even consider a mini-van conversion, Contravans was one of several notable exceptions. This young company emerged as my top choice for several important reasons. I liked the clean, modern style of their interiors, their flexible menu of options with transparent, reasonable pricing, and their immediate and consistent responsiveness to my questions.That customer service orientation persisted throughout the design and build process and was exceptional in every respect. My build was unusual because it included a mini kitchen with sink, shelving, refrigerator, and microwave in a very small space. Contravans was able to create a design that made efficient use of that space and also provided for flexible storage options. They offered cogent feedback on some of my ideas (e.g., a smaller inverter than what I specified was more than sufficient) and provided me with great options to consider in other areas. During the build process, I received exciting updates that included photos of the progress being made.The van was completed on time, with fine workmanship. Contravans showed me how the various components they installed worked, and then I was off for a three week trip that would eventually land me back home in California. The van performed beautifully through temperature extremes of 100 to 30 degrees Fahrenheit, and even though I packed much more stuff than I needed, I was able to find sufficient storage options.I am an extremely satisfied customer and highly recommend this company.

These folks are great! They helped guide me in the right direction for a lot of gear and helped install my roof rack and solar! Very helpful and fun to work with!

I worked with Contravans twice while building my van. Once when I purchased bunk windows from then and again when they installed my heater.These guys are incredibly knowledgable and helpful. They talked me through the window installation process and provided me with the materials I needed to make it happen. A few months later I reached out to them with a heater install. They answered all of my questions and were incredibly flexible with getting my van in and getting the install done. Theyve gone above and beyond customer service standards to make sure I understand the unit.I could not recommend these dudes enough!

Working with Contravans was a great experience from start to finish. We couldnt have asked for anything more in the experience, people, support or final product. They listened, they were responsive, they were very creative, their quality of work was excellent and they were willing to work on a low roof van. We will use them again if/when we do additional work to our van-home-away-from-home and have already recommended them to our friends considering similar builds.

Kurt and his team built out my 2019 Ford Transit Connect into an amazing mini camper. I couldnt be happier with the way it turned out. They have high quality craftsmanship, and were able to work within my budget. Kurt took the the ideas I had in my head, and combined them with the knowledge he had about what does and doesnt work in a small space like the FTC. The end result is exactly what I asked for, plus a bunch of great features he incorporated into the build. I can confidently recommend their work for anyone looking to do a conversion of a FTC/Nissan/Dodge.

It was a real pleasure to work with Kurt and the whole team at Contravans. We were looking to convert our 2011 Chevy Express and there were not many builders who wanted to work with the van here in Colorado. Kurt was extremely prompt in his response that his company could take on the project. From the beginning steps of planning, to having to make a few mid-build adjustments, Contravans went above and beyond meeting our needs and fulfilling our vision for what we wanted the van to be. We also found their prices to be reasonable and honest. Other builders who have come across our van have all complimented on the design, workmanship and how solid of a system Contravans has put in place. Huge thanks to Kurt and the rest of the team at Contravans for an awesome van!

I highly recommend Contravans, LLC for small van conversions. They did an outstanding job converting my Nissan NV200 in what can only be described as a strange time (2020, enough said). Because of COVID 19, I had to postpone my conversion. The company worked with me to reschedule and was very professional at all times. I also changed my mind quite a few times about what I wanted :) and Contravans was very flexible. I also really valued the companys great communication. I could always count on prompt email replies to any question. Again, highly recommend!

I highly recommend Contravans for any of your advan needs! I needed help with a solar panel issue that I couldnt take on myself, and Contravans stepped up and helped me when no one else would. While there I got to see the quality of their custom builds, and its top-notch!While Ive done much of the work on my van myself, I plan to go back for a heater install in the fall, and wouldnt hesitate to go to them for other projects. They are nice people, that do quality work.

Kurt was really great to work with, very communicative, fast, and open to discussion of the plan. I decided on Contravans after visiting 3 different shops because he was already specializing in minivans and also working on a prototype that was close to fitting my needs for a simple, utilitarian but clean and solid buildout with lots of storage. His shop and manner were really professional. He helped me to get exactly what I wanted for my Sienna that will be used for long road trips that require a quick pullover and no set up, being a practical daily driver and the the ability to have a luxurious double bed when needed. Most importantly, my good buddy Zoolie has the ideal spot to lay down while being able to see out the window and can rest his chin on the back of the drivers seat. Its perfect. - Heather

Beautiful Designs, Quality Work, Great ValueKurt worked with me over a period of several months and countless emails to custom design the ventilation, window, and 12V solar electrical systems for my 2019 Transit Connect. His knowledge was comprehensive and he treated the smallest details like it was his own van.I showed up for the install in the middle of a winter storm, but Kurt and his crew were ready to go to work. They accomplished the entire job, an amazing amount of work, in one day. They walked me through everything and answered all my questions. The workmanship was first rate, like a factory install, and exactly as I had requested down to the smallest details. My van looks great and operates perfectly. And the price was very reasonable.Kurt and his team get my highest recommendation. They are one of the smartest, most capable, and most detail-oriented shops Ive ever dealt with. These guys could probably be building jet airplanes, but theyve chosen to specialize in small vans -- so take advantage of their services!

Contravans has been amazing in helping us with our DIY van conversion. They installed the ceiling fan, extra windows, shore port, and helped clean up the messy flooring that came with our used Metris. Kurt even spent extra time to remove a stripped bolt from a floor D-ring. Their work was professional and fast, and they took care to explain all the details of the equipment. This is a great business.

Kurt, and his crew at Contravans, exude professionalism and quality. From our initial interaction, every detail was explained and nothing was left to question. Build quality, fit, and finish are impeccable. Being an out of state buyer, Kurt handled the delivery, build-out, and completion of our new NV200.I would highly recommend Contravans for your #vanlife needs and will be ordering more vans from this great company in the future for our new business. They truly go above and beyond for their customers and their needs.

Kurt and the team at Contravans are always a pleasure to work with! They helped us create custom drawer / camping systems for our fleet of overland rentals (for a Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Renegade). The design and ideation process was a breeze, quick turnaround, and excellent quality! We cant wait to order more units and continue to work with Contravans on other builds. Thanks!

Kurt and his guys were prompt, professional and paid great attention to detail in our Sienna conversion. Kurt was clear prior to starting the work on exactly what we should expect in terms of materials and hardware. They customized the install to take advantage of every nook and cranny for storage, and listened to our goals on function and made it happen! They finished early, and delivered us a conversion beyond our expectations. Jeff and Dillon were obviously proud of their custom workmanship and it shows in the end result.I would definitely recommend Contravans to anyone considering a van conversion.Thanks!!!

We purchased our van in September 2019. We live in Vermont but the entire process was seamless even from such a distance. Kurt was very responsive and willing to customize our van to meet our specific needs. The van is perfect and the construction is high quality. We are very happy with the van and the entire experience. I would highly recommend Contravans to anyone considering this type of vehicle.

Kurt at Contravans and David at Mountain Pop Top are amazing!! They took our idea of converting a Toyota Sienna minivan into a true tiny-living campervan with all the luxury of a RV. Kurt is wonderful and easy to work with during the buildout process and he anticipates any potential issues. David’s pop top conversion is very professional looking and is a huge hit at the campsite. “Lorelei” is one happy campervan!!
