Compatibility
Conversion kits compatibilities
My vehicle is not featured on the minivan conversion kit compatibility list. Is there still a chance that the kit will fit my vehicle?
Our minivan conversion kits are only compatible with the vehicles and years featured on the compatibility list of each product.
For the SUV Car-camping and Sleep’IN kits, the compatibility list of both kits are updated regularly. If your vehicle is not featured on the list, contact us! You can also book an appointment to test a kit into your vehicle.
We don't do custom fittings.
Do you make conversion kits for larger van models?
No. We are specialized in “plug and play” conversion of small vehicles (minivan, compact cargo van and SUV’s). Only our kit for compact cargo vans could be compatible with other vehicle sizes, as long as they have a flat 4’x8’ floor.
We do not make any custom kits or modifications.
Is it possible to travel with 4 passengers when the kit is installed in my minivan?
Yes, as long as your vehicle has the Stow n’ Go system (second and third row, Dodge or Chrysler).
Do I have to remove the seats from my Toyota Sienna, Honda Odyssey or Kia Carnival?
Yes, you must remove the 2nd row of seats. The 3rd row can remain in place (stowed) or be removed for extra storage space under the kitchen module.
Must I modify the inside structure of my vehicle before installing the kit?
Not at all! That’s what makes the Vanpackers kit so simple (amongst other things😉).
How-to
How to use the kits
What differentiates the Vanpackers kit from other companies’ kits?
Amongst many things, the solidity and the easiness of everyday use. We invite you to read blog post to learn more.
Is it possible to move the kitchen in order to be able to cook from inside the vehicle?
No. We chose to design the kitchen towards the outside in order to save as much space as possible on the inside. Also, the minivan tailgate is surprisingly effective as a protection from rain😉
What's more, the cooler is always accessible from inside the van. So there's no need to get out and take apart your bed to satisfy your late-night hunger!
Can I have a single bed with my conversion kit?
All our conversion kits can be used in single or double bed mode, as you wish! Check out this video for a little demonstration.
How does the kit hold in place while I’m driving?
The minivan conversion kit uses the different anchor points of the vehicle’s floor in order to secure itself. Regarding the SUV kits, they can be secured using straps.
I want to use a 5 lbs propane tank with my kit. How do I set it up underneath the kitchen?
Even though the storage space is featured on every model of the minivan conversion kit, the following vehicles will require a manual adjustment: Honda Odyssey, Toyota Sienna and Kia Carnival.
IMPORTANT: Always put the propane tank in the storage space before putting the kitchen unit on top.
It is important to follow those two rules:
1) Having a long enough flexible propane hose compatible with the tank
2) Remember to close off the propane tank and remove the propane hose after each use.

How does my personalized coupon work?
Your personalized coupon is a unique discount code that your friends can use at checkout to get 5% off their first purchase. When they use it, you earn a commission based on their order value.
Your referral can manually enter your coupon code at checkout without clicking on your referral link.
You can find your personalized coupon code in your Affiliate Dashboard, under the “Coupons” section. Simply copy the code and share it with your friends!
However, if your referral clicks on your referral link, the system will automatically apply the discount at checkout, so they won’t have to enter the coupon manually.

What happens if my friend forgets to use my link?
Unfortunately, for tracking reasons, commissions are only counted if the referral link or promo code is used at checkout.
