The van is almost where we want it so it’s time that we look back at how much we spent on building it. Below you’ll find a very small breakdown of each cost. We’ve tallied all of our receipts and here it is:

Without getting too much in the nitty gritty $$$ details, here’s where most of the things came from:

Most Construction Materials: Home Depot, Lowes, Menards. A few items were purchased on Amazon.

Countertop: Ikea

Custom Foam Cushions from Foam Factory.

Upgrades to the van body/exterior/mechanics: Includes Rear windows installation from vanworks: $809.40 Installation of cruise control, trailer hitch and break controller: $942.52 Passenger Swivel seat from Swivelrus: $374.00

Solar Panel & battery pack prices are NOT included in this price as we already own them prior to getting the van.

Not having built anything such as this before, I think this is a good number, wouldn’t you think? It could have been done cheaper but I’ve redone a few things over since using the van, as we came up with better ways to utilize it and added ‘nice to haves’ items.
