This includes a custom-fit mattress ($150-400), window sunshades ($50-150), a portable power station ($200-800), and basic storage containers. No permanent modifications to the vehicle. This is the most popular starting point for first-time EV campers.

Mid-tier ($5,000-15,000) adds a portable fridge ($300-800), solar panel setup ($400-1,500), awning or tailgate tent ($200-600), built-in storage platform ($500-1,500), and a dedicated lithium house battery ($1,000-3,000). Some minor modifications like a roof rack or cargo drawer system may be included.
What does a premium full conversion cost?
Premium ($20,000-60,000+) is a full van-life build with professional installation: 400-800W roof solar, 5-15 kWh lithium battery bank, inverter/charger, induction cooktop, sink/water system, insulated walls/floor, custom cabinetry, diesel heater, and professional electrical work.
