7 shops converting vans in Oregon, from Hood River to Tualatin. Every listing shows the chassis they build on, what they will take on and what it costs.
Portland is the west coast's most established custom-build cluster, with several shops that have been converting vans since long before vanlife had a name. Strong on Sprinter 4x4 and on high-end fabrication.

Builders are listed by state rather than by town because a conversion is a destination purchase, and people cross state lines for the right shop without thinking about it. These are the towns with supply.

Common questions
How many camper van builders are there in Oregon?
We list 7 conversion companies in Oregon, 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 Oregon shop that should be here, send it to us.
What does a conversion cost in Oregon?
Published build costs among the Oregon shops listed here run from about $18k to $200k. 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 Oregon?
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.
