About Cardiff Campervan
Cardiff Campervan is a weekender-focused conversion shop in Encinitas, California, in the Cardiff-by-the-Sea neighborhood. Owner Korey builds modular, function-first van conversions designed for families and weekend adventurers rather than full-time van dwellers. The shop works on Ford Transit, Mercedes Sprinter, and Ram ProMaster platforms, with a particular emphasis on Crew and Passenger trim vans that retain rear seating. The build philosophy is deliberately restrained: no enclosed bathrooms, no hot water systems, no fixed cabinetry. Instead, conversions focus on modular sleeping platforms, electrical systems, insulation, and practical storage — delivering what Cardiff describes as 90 percent of the utility of expensive builds at a fraction of the cost. All insulation uses automotive-specific materials (3M Thinsulate, Dynamat Extreme) rather than residential products. Weekender conversions typically run $15,000 to $30,000 with a two-to-three-week turnaround. The shop also sells completed turnkey vans, with recent listings ranging from $98,000 for a 2023 Sprinter AWD to $146,000 for a 2025 Sprinter AWD with pop-top. Free initial consultations are available.
