Which Vans Are the Best for Camper Van Conversions?

It’s easy to get lost in the world of van conversions, as there’s so much choice out there – the possibilities are endless for your camper conversion! Due to this, we understand how difficult it can be to whittle down your options. So, to help with this, today we’re going to cover some of the best models to carry out your bespoke conversion with.

Here at Rated Conversions, we have an inclination to work with Mercedes Sprinters, VW Transporters and Crafters or Citroen Relays. Although we often use these particular brands, we do have sufficient knowledge of all the other van types out there. With that being said, there are models which are more suitable for certain transformations. For example, with a race van conversion, you’ll want an engine that packs speed. 

Without further ado, let’s get stuck into the best vans for transformation needs…

Mercedes Sprinter

If you’re after a camper which has both comfort and premium qualities, the Sprinter vans won’t fail you. As there’s plenty of space with this van, you won’t find much difficulty fitting your desired features. Additionally, the van itself has lots of great safety tech, making it ideal for the camper lifestyle and those long trips away. Furthermore, this van is great for bespoke transformations, as it has enough height to get creative with your interior. There is a lot of potential for any fine detail customisation you’d like, depending on your budget and desires for your van.

Volkswagen Transporters

VW Transporter conversions are some of the most popular camper vans you see out on the road, and it’s clear to see why this is. VW has remained an iconic car and van manufacturer for many decades, with their rear engine campers loved by many travelers and surfers alike. The modern models still are effortlessly stylish and functional, they come in two-toned colour schemes meaning less work on the exterior, with plenty of space inside to make the VW Transporter conversion your own!

Ford Transit

For the fanatics who desire a race van conversion, the Ford Transit is one of the best choices. Owners claim it boasts amazing traction and grip on the road, making it ideal for a fast home on wheels. Along with this, if you intend on having some heavier built-in features in your conversion, the Transit comes in efficient diesel engines which pack power. To top it off, this van comes with premium technology built in, such as a stereo which has smartphone connectivity.

Hopefully, the above vans have given you some inspiration for your new bespoke van transformation. However, it’s important to note there are plenty of other vans on the market for sale, so make sure to have a good look about to find the perfect one for you!
