We want to make fully equipped, off-grid van life accessible to more people. Our approach: new where it matters, on a recent van that has already taken its biggest drop in value.
New Class B
Do the math
Our advice: a recent Sprinter, 2 to 5 years old. Known for its durability at high mileage, it is the base we recommend for a camper van built to last.
Prefer new? Buy a new van, bring it to us, and get a high-end camper van for a fraction of the price of a comparable dealer model.
Leave depreciation behind
The steepest depreciation hits new vehicles. On a new $200,000 camper van, a 30% loss is $60,000. With us, the new part is the $49,500 conversion: 30% is $14,850. Your used van has already taken its biggest drop in value.
New where it matters
Module, electrical, plumbing, heating, shower: everything you use every day is new and installed with our standardized process.
A van that can work for you
If you wish, rent it out when you are not using it to cover part of your costs. We help you find renters.
Make your camper van pay its way
Is your van sitting in the driveway between trips? If you wish, rent it to vacationers or to clients who want to try the model before placing their order.
Try the model
Rent a Chalet Nomade camper van for a few days before placing your order.
Rent out your camper van
You stay in control of your calendar. We refer renters to you: vacationers, and clients who want to try the model before ordering.

Frequently asked questions
I don't have a van yet. Can you help?
Yes. Contact us before you buy: we will advise you on the model, length and year that suit your use, to avoid surprises at conversion time.
Which vans do you convert?
Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Ford Transit and Ram ProMaster, ideally new or recent. For a used van, we inspect it before confirming the quote.
Can I use the van in winter?
Yes, the insulation, heating and ventilation keep it comfortable in cold weather. In the depths of winter, the plumbing needs some care: when the van is not heated, it must be winterized (water drained). We show you how at delivery.
Can I add options after delivery?
Yes. The roof rails and electrical system are designed to take extra solar, a roof box or other equipment later on.
Can I rent out my camper van when I'm not using it?
Yes, if you wish. We can refer renters to you, and full rental management will soon be available in Greater Montreal.
What warranty do you offer?
Our workmanship and installation are covered for one year. Equipment (battery, water heater, fans, heating) is covered by its manufacturer's warranty, which we transfer to you at delivery. This warranty is in addition to the legal warranty provided by law.
How do I book my spot?
After the quote, a contract sets the price, the components and the delivery date. A deposit reserves your spot in the workshop schedule.
