OVC is not yet accepting general production orders. Ian is completing his technical training, refining OVC’s construction systems, and preparing for the company’s permanent workshop. Regular availability will be announced once the opening location and production schedule have been established, and this is anticipated to be in late 2027 to early 2028.
The website provides an early look at OVC’s construction philosophy, materials, modular systems, and approach to custom van design. It also allows prospective clients to follow the company’s development and decide whether an OVC conversion may be right for them when production begins.
Founding builds are a limited number of early client projects completed before OVC begins regular production. These builds will help OVC refine its fabrication processes, modular systems, documentation, and customer experience while providing founding clients with exceptional value.
OVC plans to consider a small number of founding-build inquiries. Projects will be selected based on timing, location, vehicle compatibility, project scope, and how closely the requested conversion aligns with the systems OVC is currently developing.
Submitting an inquiry does not create an obligation for either OVC or the prospective client. It simply begins a conversation about whether the project could be a good fit.
OVC’s permanent workshop location has not yet been selected. San Antonio, the Pittsburgh region, and West Virginia are currently under consideration. The final location will be announced before OVC opens for regular production.
A firm opening date has not yet been established. OVC will begin accepting regular projects after Ian completes his technical training, the permanent workshop is established, and the company’s production systems are ready to support clients properly.
OVC expects most complete conversions to cost approximately $30,000 to $45,000, including materials and installed equipment but excluding the vehicle.
The final price will depend on the van, layout, equipment, materials, finishes, utility systems, and overall project complexity. A well-equipped build within this range may include a substantial BLUETTI power system with expansion batteries, air conditioning, roof ventilation, refrigeration, an induction cooktop, water storage, plumbing, cabinetry, interior finishes, and other essential equipment.
No. The anticipated $30,000 to $45,000 range covers the conversion, materials, and included equipment. The client’s van is separate.
Although OVC uses modular construction methods, those modules must work together as parts of a complete vehicle. Van dimensions, layout, attachment points, utilities, equipment choices, materials, and installation requirements can substantially affect the cost of each module.
Publishing a stand-alone price could therefore be misleading. OVC will price modules within the context of the complete design and clearly identify what is included in the project proposal.
Yes. OVC project pricing will include the materials and installed equipment identified in the approved project scope. This may include cabinetry, structural components, interior surfaces, electrical equipment, plumbing components, appliances, ventilation, and other selected features.
Items not listed in the approved scope, along with client-requested changes made afterward, may be priced separately.
OVC intends to establish a clearly defined scope and project price before fabrication begins. Founding builds will be priced with the goal of remaining as close as practical to the agreed-upon price.
Because custom conversions can reveal unexpected vehicle conditions or change as clients refine their selections, additions, design changes, and unforeseen work outside the original scope may require written price adjustments.
