This is somewhat of a hard question to answer! Prices of materials fluctuate.

All of our prices do not include the cost of the vehicle.

We've done conversions ranging from $40,000-$200,000 CAD.

The average cost of our off-grid 4-season van conversions is $90,000-$150,000 CAD not including the cost of the van.

In reality, every van conversion is different. If you are genuinely interested in getting a rough quote for your own, contact us - quotes are free!

This is a complicated question. The short answer is maybe.

Canadian clients:
Van conversions: Yes we do we can finance some of your build!  If you are looking for financing options, let us know in the notes.
You might require a down payment.

USA clients: We don't currently have any in house financing options for the USA. This is something we are constantly looking into but as we are located in Canada, we cannot partner with USA banks. We have had some people have success with lightstream.com - their motto is financing for just about anything! haha.

Try lightstream or your bank and let us know what kind of information you get!

Ecommerce Policies

For all of our goodies and DIY products that you can buy for your school bus or van conversion projects.

It really depends on the product. If it is a manufactured product by GoPower or Dometic or things of that nature, they can generally be shipping out as fast as we get a proper shipping quote and you pay any additional shipping/freight charges necessary!

For homemade one off goods like window covers and netting it can take up to 4-6 weeks before the product gets shipped to you!

We are not an e-commerce brand with a regular return policy etc as we are distributing other manufacturers products and sometimes dropshipping them.

If for some reason you need to return the product, reach out to us at contact@pavedtopines.com and we can help point you in the right direction!

If you are returning our own products that we have made (window blinds), please email the same contact as above.

No returns after 30 days.
