A campervan conversion is a delivery or passenger van that has been rebuilt internally into a purpose-built camper with sleeping, cooking, power, water and storage systems. The base van stays on the road under its original registration, but the interior is redesigned and refitted from scratch to suit the way you want to travel.
At Focus RV Group we build those conversions end to end in our Campbellfield workshop. Every discipline needed to finish the van is on the same floor: cabinetmakers, licensed electricians, Type A gas fitters, plumbing and mechanical techs. Nothing is outsourced, which means quality is consistent and the project has one point of accountability from the first sketch to the final road test.
Our conversion customers range from weekenders who want a comfortable bed and a kitchen for surf trips, through to full-timers building a vehicle for a lap of Australia. We also take on van-life fit-outs for remote workers, tradies who travel with their tools, and families upgrading from caravan touring to a self-contained van.
Over the last 10+ years we've converted more than 20 van platforms across the high-roof, mid-size and compact classes. Short, medium, long and extra-long wheelbases. 2WD and 4WD base vehicles. If your van isn't listed below, call us and we'll confirm whether we can convert it.
Mercedes Sprinter, Fiat Ducato, Renault Master, Peugeot Boxer, LDV Deliver 9, Iveco Daily. High-roof platforms give stand-up internal height, which means full kitchens, internal showers and more flexible bed layouts are possible.
VW Transporter, Ford Transit, Renault Trafic, Hyundai iLoad, Peugeot Expert. Mid-size platforms suit weekenders, couples and travellers who want a van that still fits a standard parking bay but has proper camper comforts inside.
Toyota HiAce, VW Caddy, Renault Kangoo. Compact vans are a popular choice for surfers, weekenders and city travellers who want a micro-camper with a pop-top roof for occasional standing room.
We also build on pre-converted chassis, cab-chassis layouts and cab-over motorhome bases. If you're sourcing a base vehicle, we can advise on wheelbase, roof height and drivetrain for the travel style you have in mind.
Every conversion is custom, but the tiers below are a useful starting point. They describe the scope most customers land on, and help frame the conversation when we're drawing up your layout.
A bed, a basic kitchen, 12V lighting, a small house battery with solar top-up, and a proper insulation package. Designed for weekend trips, surf runs and short holidays. This tier is popular on HiAce and Transporter platforms.
A full bed setup, proper kitchen with a compressor fridge and cooktop, house battery bank with DC-DC charger, roof solar, fresh and grey water tanks. Sized for multi-week trips where you want to stay off-grid for several days at a time.
Everything in the touring tier plus a larger lithium battery bank, full shower or cassette toilet option, diesel heating, diesel cooktop, external shower hookup and an annexe awning. Sized for months of continuous travel through the full range of Australian climates.
Your brief, your layout, any van platform, anything you can sketch. Full consultation, concept design, approved layout and a written quote before the first panel is cut. Most full custom builds sit on Sprinter, Ducato, Master or Iveco Daily platforms.
Every conversion is built from the chassis up through the systems below. Exact scope, brand selection and specification is itemised in your written quote so there are no surprises during or after the build.
Our joinery is built in house at Campbellfield in birch ply with marine-grade finishes. Piano hinges, locking drawers, soft-close cabinetry and upholstered dinettes. We do not outsource any cabinetry component, which means quality and fit are consistent across every build.
House battery bank (AGM or lithium), DC-DC charger, 240V inverter where required, roof solar array, dedicated switchboard, USB outlets, 12V and 240V sockets, and LED lighting zoned to the way you'll use the van. All work is completed by a licensed electrician and certificates are issued on handover.
Fresh and grey water tanks, pressure pumps, internal and external tap fit-outs, hot water systems and water filtration. Tank size is matched to the travel style (weekender, touring or full-time).
LPG cooktops, diesel cooktops, Type A gas compliance, ducted extraction fans and external BBQ points. Gas work is carried out by a licensed Type A gas fitter and certified on handover.
Diesel heaters for all-season travel, 12V roof fans for warm climates, 240V air conditioning for powered sites, compressor fridges and dedicated insulation packages to suit your destination profile.
Fixed beds, east-west or north-south bed layouts, pop-top beds for compact vans, dinette-to-bed conversions, bench seating and custom upholstery. Bed orientation is chosen with your platform wheelbase and sleeping partners in mind.
Cassette toilets, composting toilets, internal showers, full wet-room finishes and external shower hookups. Bathroom scope is often the single biggest variable between tiers.
Pop-top conversions, roof beds, solar arrays, awnings, roof racks and ventilation. All sealing and cut-outs are carried out to manufacturer spec.
Our joinery is built in the same workshop your van lives in. No outsourced components, no quality drift across contractors, no lost weeks waiting on a second supplier.
12V, 240V, solar and LPG are all signed off by licensed trades inside our workshop. Your compliance paperwork is handled the same day the work finishes, not months later.
You approve the full layout, materials and cost in writing before any panel is cut. If scope changes mid-build, you approve the variation before the invoice changes. No surprise line items at handover.
Mechanical, electrical, gas, plumbing and cabinetry all under one roof. One project lead, one phone number for progress updates, one team accountable for the finished vehicle.
We start by talking through your travel style, sleeping setup, cooking and power needs, timeline and budget. Bring your van to the workshop if you have it. If you haven't bought one yet, we'll help you narrow the platform before you commit.
Once we have the brief, we draw up a layout that matches it to your van platform. Cabinetry footprint, bed orientation, kitchen and power zones, water locations, bathroom sizing if included. You review the layout and we iterate if needed.
When the layout is right, we send an itemised written quote covering labour, materials, systems and timeline. Nothing starts until you sign off. If you want to stage the build across phases, we quote each phase separately.
Fit-out starts in the workshop. We run weekly progress updates so you always know where the build is up to. Most builds land in the 6 to 12 week window, depending on scope and whether we're waiting on any long-lead parts.
Electrical, gas and weight compliance is signed off. We road-test the finished van and run you through every system before you drive it home. You leave with certificates, a handover pack and our direct number for post-handover questions.
Conversion costs vary significantly with scope, van platform and the systems you include. Every build at Focus RV Group is quoted individually and in writing, with labour, materials and systems itemised. The ranges below are indicative timelines only and are not a substitute for a written quote.

Quote Before Every Build
Our workshop is in Campbellfield on Sydney Road, with easy access from the Hume Freeway. Melbourne customers drive in from the northern suburbs, the inner city, the east and the west, and we regularly take on day-drive drop-offs from Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo and Shepparton.
We also take on conversion projects from interstate. Vans are delivered to the workshop at the start of the build and collected at handover. If you're travelling from NSW, SA, QLD or TAS, get in touch early so we can plan the build window around your travel.
If you're in greater Melbourne, see our city-level page for Melbourne-specific build information, drop-off logistics and local suburb coverage.
We take on conversion builds for customers from NSW, South Australia, Queensland and Tasmania by arrangement. Call us early so we can coordinate your build slot around your travel plans.
Book a no-cost consultation at the Campbellfield workshop or send us your brief and we'll come back with a concept and indicative cost. If you're further along and already have a van, bring it in so we can measure and scope the build directly.
