So how much does it actually cost to build a camper? Less than you think, and way less than any RV of good quality. Here's the thing. When you build it yourself, you control the budget. You decide what you actually need and what you can skip. Some folks just want a simple hard shell that gets them off the ground and comfortable at the state park. Others want an off road beast they can take into the desert for weeks. Two completely different builds, two completely different budgets, and both are totally doable. Our most popular model, the Vaga, has been built by DIYers for anywhere from $2,500 to $13,000. Most land right around $6,500. The best part is you get to decide where on that line you land. So tell us, what kind of camper are you dreaming about? A simple weekend rig for campgrounds, or an off road rig built for the backcountry? Drop it in the comments, we love hearing what people are planning. Want to run your own numbers? We built a full cost breakdown spreadsheet with every part and material you'll need, so you can see what YOUR camper would actually cost before you spend a dollar.
