What van upfit and conversion work do you do?

OCRV Center upfits and converts Sprinter, ProMaster, Transit, and EV cargo vans in-shop: shelving and racking, bulkheads, flooring and insulation, windows, 12V and solar power, auxiliary heat, roof racks, and full camper and mobile-business build-outs, all while protecting the factory systems and ADAS.

What van upfit and conversion covers

OCRV Center handles van upfit and conversion in-shop at our Yorba Linda facility for RVs, vans, trailers, and commercial vehicles. Shelving, bulkheads, insulation, windows, racks, and custom build-outs. Because we only work on these vehicles, this is something our technicians do every week, not an occasional job squeezed in between cars.

Work-van upfits: shelving, racking, and bulkheads

A work van earns its keep when the interior is organized for the trade, and we install shelving, racking, drawer systems, bulkheads, flooring, and lighting that turn an empty cargo box into a rolling workshop.

A good upfit is fastened to the body correctly, keeps weight low and balanced, and does not interfere with the van structure or safety systems.

Camper conversions and build-outs

Camper-van conversions are a full build: insulation, windows, flooring, electrical, water, a galley, seating, and sleeping, all in a tight space that has to stay drivable and safe. We handle the structural, electrical, and finish work to a standard that lasts.

The systems we install elsewhere on RVs, solar, lithium, water, and heat, come together here in the smallest possible footprint, which is exactly the kind of integration a specialist does well.

Power, heat, windows, and accessories

We install 12V and solar power, auxiliary heaters such as Webasto and Espar, windows and vents, roof racks, steps, and cameras, and we protect the factory ADAS sensors and recalibrate when the work requires it.

On EV cargo vans the same care applies, with attention to the high-voltage system and the weight and aerodynamics that affect range.

What affects the cost

Several things move the price of van upfit and conversion up or down. The biggest are usually the extent of the damage and whether the work is structural or cosmetic.

  • Work-van upfit versus full camper conversion
  • Material and component grade
  • Electrical and solar system size
  • Auxiliary heat, windows, and accessories
  • Insulation and finish level
  • ADAS protection and recalibration

What is included

Every job begins with an inspection and a written estimate. A typical job includes:

  • Shelving, racking, and bulkhead installation
  • Insulation, flooring, and windows
  • 12V and solar power systems
  • Auxiliary heat such as Webasto and Espar
  • Roof racks, steps, and cameras
  • ADAS protection and recalibration

Bring it in or file a claim

Drive in for a thorough collision estimate or open an insurance claim. We work direct with every major carrier and handle the paperwork with your adjuster.

Inspection and written estimate

A specialist inspects the vehicle and writes a detailed estimate. Hidden damage is documented with photos so your claim reflects the real repair.

We get carrier approval, order parts, and schedule the work. You get a clear timeline and a point of contact for the whole job.

Structural, body, paint, and systems work is performed in-house by techs who only work on RVs, vans, and trailers. No farming the hard parts out.
