Should You Convert a Van or Buy One? (Part 1)

TL;DR: RVs are bulky. Prebuilt vans are overpriced. A custom van from VanSharks in Houston gives you the flexibility, style, and function your life needs.

What If You Could Turn Any Van Into the Coolest Mobile Space You’ve Ever Seen?

Imagine transforming a standard van into something amazing. A place your kids want to hang out in. 

A cozy, tiny home for weekend adventures. A fully functional business on wheels.

With VanSharks, that dream is 100% possible, and it starts right here in Houston, Texas.

Are RVs Still Worth It in 2025?

When it comes to street-friendly large vehicles, your options are limited. Let’s break it down:

1. You could get an RV...

• But they’re hard to drive, heavy (up to 30,000 lbs), and require hookups.

• Not exactly practical for everyday use or spontaneous travel.

2. You could buy a prebuilt van...

• But expect to pay a premium price.

• You won’t get the layout, features, or finishes that fit your specific lifestyle.

3. Or... you could build your dream van from scratch.
