CUSTOM CAMPER VAN CONVERSION AND RETAIL SERVICE
Van Conversions. High-end adventure, handcrafted for you.
Built for Advanture was born from a love of travel, a dedication to excellent craftsmanship and a desire to create something beautiful and functional.
We’re here to listen, collaborate, design and create the van conversion that works for you.

About Us
Built for Advanture is made up of husband and wife team, Jesse & Sam. With Jesse’s cabinet making and carpentry qualifications, Sam’s eye for detail and design and our keen love of exploring, we’re here to get our clients on the road in a van perfect for living their personal ideal van-lifestyle.
As a small business, we build meaningful relationships with each of our clients to execute their dreams with care.
We pride ourselves on the high quality of our custom campervan conversions. We are extremely passionate about what we do and have a ‘no corners cut’ approach.
Located in Torquay, right at the start of the famed Great Ocean Road, you’ll find us in the industrial estate behind Bunnings, in between Hilbilby Cultured Food (Fire Tonic) and Great Ocean Road Gin. We love working with other like minded local businesses and feel proud to part of this wonderful Surf Coast community.
Built for Advanture, Built for You.

How much does a build cost?
As all our conversions are completely customised to the individual it is hard to give a price without going through the full process. It does depend significantly on your style of travel and the electrical system and plumbing involved with that for example.
The best place to start is by accessing our Price Guide which sits on the front page of our website. From there you will see what our conversions start from and more about what it's like to work with us.
How long does a build take?
It depends on the ultimate size, scope and level of complexity of your build. Typically, no less than 6 weeks but on average 3-4 months.
What type of van is the best for a conversion?
As far as choosing a van goes, we don’t really have a preference for either make or model we just recommend going to test out as many as you can. Each van drives differently and even models with the same “wheel base” can have different internal measurements. Things you want to consider include – whether you want to be able to stand up inside the van, what you want to fit in the van/your non-negotiables, what you are comfortable driving/parking and, if you’re planning on travelling large distances or to remote areas, where their applicable servicing areas/service centres are located.
