How Long a Camper Van Conversion Takes
Here's what happens in each stage and what stretches the timeline.
A Titan Vans conversion takes 4 to 8 weeks from build start to delivery, depending on model: Classic runs 4–6 weeks, Metis about 6 weeks, Ultra 6–8 weeks. That's build time specifically — the span from when your van hits our shop floor to when it leaves finished. It doesn't include the time before that, which depends on your production slot and how far out we're currently booked.
Here's what fills those weeks, and what pushes a build toward the long end of its range.
Build time by model
| Model | Build Time | What's Involved |
|---|---|---|
| Classic | 4–6 weeks | Modular cabinetry, removable components, standard electrical |
| Metis | ~6 weeks | Murphy bed system, couch, outdoor kitchen plumbing |
| Ultra | 6–8 weeks | Bi-Slide bed, shower/sauna wet-room build-out, full systems |
The range within each model is almost entirely about options — a stock Classic lands at 4 weeks; a Classic with a full suspension package, custom bumper, and extra windows drifts toward 6.
The stages, in order
-
Secure the van. You bring your own, or we source and purchase it. This step's timing is independent of build time — chassis availability varies.
-
Lock the design. Model, layout, finish options, and upgrades get finalized through our Build & Price tool or a direct consultation. A deposit secures your spot in the production schedule; the balance is due before delivery.
-
Fabrication. Our in-house CNC machines cut cabinetry, galley components, and structural panels from the build's CAD files. This is where modular Classic builds move fastest — fewer custom-fit elements than Metis or Ultra's built-in furniture.
-
Systems install. Electrical, plumbing, insulation, and the components that make the van livable — fridge, heater, water system. Ultra's shower/sauna room adds real time here; it's genuine wet-room plumbing, not a cosmetic add-on.
-
Finish and detail. Upgrades like suspension, off-road armor, windows, and exterior accessories typically happen in this window, alongside final fit and finish on cabinetry.
-
Quality check and delivery. Every system gets tested before handoff — we'd rather catch an issue on the shop floor than on your first night out.
What stretches the timeline
Off-road suspension and armor packages. A Van Compass install is a half-day to full-day job on its own; a Flatline bumper with winch integration and skid plates adds more. Bundle several of these into one build and you're adding real days, not hours.
Exterior upgrades generally. Running boards, wheel and tire packages, extended fuel tanks — each is scheduled as its own line item with its own install time, and they queue behind the core conversion.
Backordered components. Less common since most of what we install is manufactured in-house, but third-party parts — specific suspension components, certain electrical hardware — can occasionally hold a build at the finish line.
Custom requests outside standard configurations. The further a build departs from a standard Classic/Metis/Ultra layout, the more fabrication time it needs, by definition.
The honest caveat
"4 to 8 weeks" describes active build time once your van is on our floor — it is not the same as deposit-to-delivery, which also includes our current production queue. Ask us for today's queue length when you get a quote; it changes with demand and season, and we'd rather tell you the real number than a flattering one.
Frequently asked
How long does a Sprinter van conversion take? 4 to 8 weeks of active build time, depending on model — Classic 4–6 weeks, Metis about 6, Ultra 6–8.
What's the fastest Titan model to build? Classic, at 4–6 weeks, due to its modular, less custom-fit construction.
Does the quoted build time include the wait before my build starts? No — it's active shop time only. Ask for current production queue length when you get a quote.
