Hire a Van Builder - Perth Mobile Campervan Fitouts
Custom camper van fitouts, done at your place. Affordable, local, and built with care. We fit out vans for simple living and big adventures.

We come to you
At Swan River Vans we come to your with our fully equipped Mobile Work Van. You do not have to have it parked up at a warehouse not knowing what is happening with your build or waiting in a build que to be serviced. So whether it is in Regional W.A. or Metro Perth our Mobile Workshop Van is ready to start your Van build journey. Our mobile workshop is also a home on wheels allowing us to complete jobs not just locally, but anywhere. What to expect? We will build a custom van, as per your agreed upon design. We build the right way, so your van will be build for functionality and have a slight industrial look (see some screws) as we build for the reality of the outback, not for an Instagram photo shoot. This will also keep your costs down, as your build can be fabricated quicker. Therefore the build will look more industrial, as functional is our focus. What a sneak peak at the style you will be getting, just ask to look inside our Mobile Work Van that is also a campervan.
The "Right Way" (The Structure)
I focus on structural and electrical integrity above all else. If the bones aren't right, the rest is just expensive firewood. My builds lean into a rugged, industrial aesthetic—think raw aluminium and natural wood grain—because it's built to work, not just look pretty.
Our Structure?
-
Aluminium Qubelok which is light, strong, and won't rust out in the salt air. This framing combined with Marine Ply makes a strong structure that can handle the offgrid adventure lifestyle.
-
Hybrid Bonding we use Fasteners plus structural adhesive to beat the corrugations.
-
Marine Ply is the only wood that handles the WA climate properly.
-
GVM Management as you need to keep it light to save your fuel and your suspension and to meet legal requirements.
