3 shops converting vans in New York, from Brooklyn to Stanley. Every listing shows the chassis they build on, what they will take on and what it costs.
Three shops, three different jobs. Brooklyn is the luxury end of the whole country, Rochester carries fifty years of accessible-vehicle engineering, and the Finger Lakes option will do electrical work on a van somebody else built. Small in number, unusually little overlap.

Editor's Choice in New York
Three shops worth a call, picked for different reasons. Editorial choices, and placement here is not for sale.
Best for High-end, customizable builds
Brooklyn Campervans
Brooklyn, NY
Sprinter only, full custom only, and the one shop in the state where the design language is yours to set rather than theirs to repeat.
Best for Accessible conversions
Agor Van Life
Rochester, NY
Fifty years of building wheelchair-accessible vehicles behind the camper arm, which makes them the obvious call for an accessible build.
Best for Off-grid electrical work
East Coast Vanlife
Stanley, NY
Takes on systems and electrical installs on vans built elsewhere, not only full conversions, which is rarer upstate than it should be.
VerifiedBrooklyn Campervans
Brooklyn, NY
Sprinter-only luxury builder in Brooklyn, where the design is drawn around you rather than picked from a catalog.

Common questions
How many camper van builders are there in New York?
We list 3 conversion companies in New York, spread across 3 towns and cities. That is the set we have researched and can stand behind rather than every business that has ever converted a van. If you know a New York shop that should be here, send it to us.
What does a conversion cost in New York?
Published build costs among the New York shops listed here run from about $92k to $92k. Those figures are almost always for the conversion alone, so budget another $45k–$70k for the van itself unless the builder sources it for you.
Do I have to use a builder in New York?
No, and plenty of people do not. A build involves two or three visits over several months, so buyers routinely cross state lines for the right shop. Where local matters is afterwards: warranty work, servicing and the awkward fault two years in are all much easier when the builder is a day's drive away rather than three.
What should I ask on a first call?
What the quoted price includes and excludes. Whether the queue in front of you is weeks or months. Who does warranty work and for how long. Whether they will service a van they did not build. And what happens to your deposit if you walk away. The answer varies far more than it should.
Builders in other states
Worth widening the search, because the shop you want may be two states over, and for a build of this length that matters less than it sounds.
