An independent resource for van owners.

The Van Guide exists because shopping for a custom van conversion is harder than it should be. Reviews are thin. Pricing is opaque. Insurance and registration rules differ by state and almost nobody spells them out clearly. Most of the content that does exist is written by builders selling their own work.

This site is different. We don't build vans. We don't take paid placements in the directory. We don't rank shops based on who pays us. Every listing is evaluated by the same standard, and every article is written to help you make a decision — not to sell you something.

How this site is funded

Eventually, through a paid owner's guide, affiliate relationships with insurance carriers (disclosed on every page they appear), and optional verified listings for builders who want enhanced profiles. Never through ranking manipulation or hidden sponsorships.

Who runs it

The Van Guide is run by a small independent editorial team. If you have corrections, tips, or builders we should list, email hello@thevanguide.com.
