Engineered for Exploration, Designed to Feel Like Home
Yama Vans combine real-world utility with precise interior craftsmanship — gear-ready layouts, hard-wearing surfaces, and streamlined storage built to support every adventure.
Tested in Canadian Winters, Ready for Anything
From chilly dawn patrols to midsummer trailheads, Yama’s four-season insulation, diesel-powered heat with in-floor radiant warmth, optional A/C, and a generous lithium battery bank keep you comfortable and powered, even deep in the backcountry.
From Vision to Delivery, Stress-Free
From your initial design consult to delivery day, our process is collaborative and transparent, with clear timelines, regular check-ins, and support that continues long after handoff — including access to a growing community of Yama owners and resources designed to enhance your ownership experience.

3D Renders

We bring your vision to life through detailed 3D renderings of both interior and exterior, helping you visualize how your selections come together before we build. Includes one round of refinements.

I am extremely happy I chose Yama to build out my dream van! Hands down the best van conversion company in Canada if not North America. Not only is the final product incredible, but the entire process from beginning to end is seamless. With expert design processes, predictable communication, frequent updates, and tons of resources to help get you on the road with your custom van, I would highly recommend anyone to choose Yama for their dream van build! I have literally been turning heads everywhere I go in my new Yama Van!

We are very grateful to Pat, Alex and the team at Yama Vans for building our "dream van". We chose Yama Vans because of their obvious passion for their work and extreme attention to detail. Our requirements were exceeded and the build quality is amazing. The build was on time and on budget. We are looking forward to many miles/km ahead in our new van.

We can’t praise the team at Yama enough! At every stage of the process, our expectations were met and exceeded. So knowledgeable and thorough! From design to delivery, each step was very professionally conducted. Our van is a dream come true! The perfect combination of esthetic, durability, and function. The team went the extra mile to ensure our build reflected our personality, our wants, and our needs to successfully take us on any adventure. It’s worth the investment.
