5 Reasons to Begin Your Van Build with a Foundation Kit…
Turning your van into a camper is an exciting project. But one that can sometimes feel overwhelming. From insulation and electrical to all the finishes, a DIY van build can take months of trial and error.
That’s why we think the Foundation Build System is the smartest way to begin your van conversion. Designed, engineered and manufactured right here in the mountains of BC, Canada, our industry leading kit provides everything you need to create a fully functional, beautifully designed camper van. And we have options for flat-pack DIY or a professional install so you can pick the option that works best for you!
Here we’ve put together the top 5 reasons we think you should begin your van build with the Foundation Kit.
To start with a professional, adventure ready base
A great van build starts with a solid foundation and our system includes everything you’ll need. From our 3-layer insulation system to precision fit wall and ceiling panels, by starting with a professionally engineered base you can avoid the headaches of poor insulation and wiring challenges…and the countless other ‘learning experiences’ that come with starting a van build.
Saving weeks (or months!) of build time
A DIY build can stretch on for months if you’re starting from scratch. But with our flat pack Foundation Kit every component is pre-cut, pre-measured and clearly labeled. We also give you access to online installation guides and videos and optional support from our experienced team.
The unmatched quality and materials.
Every component in our Foundation Build System is designed to withstand years of adventure. We use Marine Grade fabrics, industrial adhesives and high quality materials to create a lightweight, durable, professional quality build.
It’s modular and flexible for your lifestyle.
No two van lifers are the same and our modular design makes it easy to customise your layout as your needs evolve. Our RANGE bed system provides sideways or North/South sleeping options as well as adjustable bed height. You can choose from hundreds of colour and finish options. And you can continue your build with a range of cabinets, units and extra storage solutions.
Foundation Kits are ready for add ons and future upgrades.
Speaking of extra storage solutions, starting with the Foundation Kit doesn’t just simplify your initial build, it sets you up for easy upgrades later. Our system integrates seamlessly with our full range of modular cabinetry, bike trays and storage solutions, kitchen units, off road side steps as well as a whole host of other accessories. Whether you’re starting with a simple weekender setup or planning for full time van life, the Foundation Kit gives you a flexible, future proof base.
The Foundation Build System is more than a kit, it’s your shortcut to a professional, adventure ready camper van. With flat pack home delivery, or professional install, high quality materials and flexibility in your future build it’s the simplest way to start your van build and hit the road sooner.
