People Who Build. For People Who Explore.

At Habitat, we’re a team of design engineers with a passion for building- first for ourselves, and now for a growing community of vanlifers and outdoor enthusiasts. We saw an opportunity to combine our technical expertise with automation to simplify the van conversion process.

Our goal? To create a range of modular camping solutions and van conversion kits that empower anyone to build a functional, stylish, and cost-effective home on wheels.

Born from a love of good design, smart engineering, and endless outdoor adventures, Habitat is here to help you hit the road-faster, easier, and with a van that’s truly your own.

At Habitat we design modular, easy to install, van conversion kits for Ford Transit, that enable you to transform your vehicle into a functional and stylish home on wheels. These kits are flat packed and made according to your design and colour specifications. With a quick turn around, you can be installing your own van conversion kit in a fraction of the time it would take most van builders to complete a van, allowing you to get on the road that much sooner.

Based on 3D data straight from the manufacturer, we design each piece of our kit to precision fit the exact dimensions of the Ford Transit. From CAD and the initial designs through to production, all of our marine grade, baltic birch furniture is made here, in house, in the mountains of British Columbia.

We also have a variety of drop in modules and individual items for smaller vans including Delica and Hiace, and for Sprinter, available in our online store.

With new products always in the works, we’re here to help you build your dream van, one smart module at a time.
