Camper Conversion Kits for SUVs & Vans: Building Modular Interiors for the Vanlife Market
Vanlife enthusiasts want to sleep in their vehicles but lack ready-made solutions. Compact modular kits fill that gap.
The business is built on manufacturing and selling prefabricated modular kits โ sleeping platforms, storage units, mini kitchen modules โ tailored to specific vehicle types (SUVs, Ford Transit, VW Transporter, Vauxhall Vivaro, and others). The customer orders a kit, pays a deposit, the manufacturer assembles the kit to fit the chosen vehicle, and the customer installs it themselves or with help from a local workshop. The key differentiators are precise vehicle-specific design, quality materials, and a clear installation manual. The operating model relies on direct sales via an online shop or social media, and potentially through specialist outdoor retailers as trade partners.
A full campervan conversion is financially out of reach for most people โ or simply impractical. Existing products are either overpriced or demand hundreds of hours of DIY assembly. Customers are left choosing between an overwhelming self-build project and an expensive commission at a specialist workshop.
๐The van conversion market is growing steadily
The global van conversion market is worth billions and analysts forecast continued growth through the next decade. Vanlife has established itself as a genuine lifestyle choice across the UK, not a passing trend.
