Caza Consulting
Knowing where to start can be tough.
With a little guidance, anyone can build their own custom camper. Caza Consulting is the middle ground between doing it solo and paying bigger prices to have someone do it all for you.
You have the motivation, the capacity to learn, and the resources to succeed. Build your adventure rig on your terms, with your hands.
Why consulting?
If you’re thinking about living in a van, excited to customize your rig, eager to learn new skills, take pride in your work, and want to feel the joy of building a home with your own hands – but may lack the experience to do this all yourself – Caza Consulting offers the guidance you need for any stage of the build.
Whether you want someone who’s done it all to guide you, work alongside you, or take on some of the more overwhelming projects on your behalf, we can help.
Consultations are available remotely or in-person across the USA.

5 Star Reviews
“Building a van out is an immense amount of thinking, researching, planning, replanning, rethinking, building, researching again... and you get the idea... eventually you make your decisions and move forward, hoping they were the best.
However, so many mistakes are made through the process for so many people. Misinformation, excessive options, restrictive budgets and a lack of building experience or innate artistic talent to name a few, it’s overwhelming to build out your own van.
From one experienced builder to you, I can’t recommend Caza Builds enough to both consult with, help plan and either help you build out certain parts or completely build out your own personal soon to be realized vanlife experience!”

“I recently bought a small van for weekend trips and camping and needed some advice on how to set up power.
Caza graciously explained everything I needed know and even did some research on how I could have water without too much hassle. I am super appreciative of all his advice.”
– Sara W.
“[Caza] gave me lots of good advice and suggestions on how to set up the electrical system [in my Sprinter conversion] as well as practical tips on plumbing / hot water systems, insulation, and moisture mitigation.
I would definitely recommend consulting with him if you're thinking of doing your own RV conversion project.”
