Your Journey, Your Way
Located in Calgary, Alberta, Reliable Campers is a proud Canadian company dedicated to building custom camper vans that craft unforgettable experiences for you and your loved ones.
Why Camper Vans?
We’ve tested every vehicle option available for camping, from tent campers to tow-behind trailers and truck campers. Our conclusion? Camper vans are usually the best fit for most people. They merge flexibility and comfort with the agility and practicality of a van.
Winter is coming! Prepare your van for ski season and embrace the snowy weather in comfort and style. We currently have a few build slots open this winter, so book yours now and get ready for your next adventure on the slopes!
Custom Builds
At Reliable Campers, we specialize in building vans that are adventure-ready. Our philosophy is one of practicality, simplicity and reliability. A custom built camper van is a significant investment, and you need it to last. Drawing on extensive first hand experience, we’ve lived, played, and adventured in campers through winter nights and summer mornings. We’ve navigated driving down gravel roads, through icy passageways, and cruised coastal highways. Through these trips we have gained a deep understanding of what is truly essential in a camper van. We know what you should have, will want to have, what can break at the most inconvenient times—and what will last.
Contact us today and let’s get you into the van that’s the right fit for you and your adventures.

How Are We Different?
I was speaking with a client that told be about an experience they had with another custom van builder. They had asked them for a quote to build out a simple van conversion for his 144 Sprinter Van. The company came back to him with a very expensive van design that included, among other odd design choices, marble countertops.
“Marble countertops? Aren’t those a bit heavy and expensive? Can you take that out of the build?”
You know what they told him? They told him couldn’t take it out of the design. All their builds have marble countertops. Take it or leave it. That is when it hit us.
Most custom van builders do not build vans to benefit the customer. They build them to benefit themselves. Using expensive and unnecessary features means an increased profit for them. If they were doing what was best for the client, they would be saving weight and cost whenever possible.
At Reliable Campers we make vans for YOU
Our team aims to share our expertise to support you in making an informed decision and getting the right van at a good value. If you desire a marble countertop, we will add it but we will always offer a way to save weight and cost instead. Our goal is to deliver a build that is reliable, long lasting and
functional. A build that will stand the test of mileage and time.

Testimonials

Steve Calgary, AB
I wanted a simple build done on my 2022 Transit and I got some very high quotes from other places. The other companies seemed like they weren't interested in wasting their time on me. Mike at Reliable quoted me a good price and was able to start in just a few weeks. I saved enough money to pay for my epic ski trip. Thanks.

Terry Vancouver, BC
I wanted to order a Sprinter 4x4 from Mercedes and they told me it would be at least a year before it would arrive. I figured my plans for the next summer were shot. I called around and found Reliable had the exact van I wanted in stock and ready to go. Michael got it built out and my summer trip to Alaska was on.

Lisa Toronto, ON
I didn't really know much about vanlife stuff originally, but I knew I was pretty sick of living in Toronto. I'm fully remote so I figured maybe it was time to explore until I found somewhere I wanted to settle. Michael didn't just help me plan my van, he helped me plan my first trip! Great experience and I'm still loving it.
