Introducing our kit for the Chevy Express / GMC Savana vans!

Renowned as the workhorses of the US, the Chevy Express and GMC Savana 155" are popular choices for camper van conversions, thanks to their impressive cargo area, payload capacity, powerful engine options, and affordability.

The kitchen area of our kit features a fridge compartment behind the driver's seat, with two additional lockers for water storage/sink and trash/kitchen storage. Additionally, we've integrated a slide-out table above the fridge for extra worktop space, accessible from both the front seats and the seating area.

Opposite the kitchen, we feature a 2-person bench seat that doubles as additional storage and an integrated slide-out table; the living space offers versatility and functionality.

The raised large East/West bed (73" Long x 58" Wide) is situated atop a spacious 50ft³ garage section. The garage is divided into storage areas at the sides of the van and a large open section for maximum storage options. A tunnel through to the front living section allows for storage of longer items such as surfboards and camping awnings, with accessibility from both sides.

Our kits are designed for quick assembly and engineered for DIY installation, so you can get going in no time! What’s our secret? We use 3D vehicle laser scans for every vehicle we work on, and the best 3D parametric design software on the market. Our lead engineers learned these skills while working at the peak of the automotive and aeronautical industries; one from McLaren designing supercars and one from Sikorsky designing helicopters.

We follow Poka-Yoke principles (mistake-proof design), inspired by the precision of automotive production lines. Just like a square peg in a square hole, every part is clearly labeled and engineered to fit perfectly in its designated spot. Whether it’s a unique component that fits only one way or a universal part that’s fully interchangeable, every VanLab kit is built for simplicity and reliability.

FAQs

Are the Chevy Express and GMC Savana the same van?

Yes—both the Chevy Express 155” and GMC Savana 155” are built on the exact same platform by General Motors. They share identical dimensions, chassis, and interior layout, meaning our kit fits both vans perfectly. The main differences are branding and minor trim variations, so whichever you choose, compatibility is the same.

What’s the difference between the 135” and 155” wheelbase kits?

The main difference comes down to space—both in the garage and overall layout. The Chevy Express 135” / GMC Savana 135” kit is designed to maximize a more compact footprint, with a bed size of 71" x 58" and around 45ft³ of garage storage.
Stepping up to the Chevy Express 155” / GMC Savana 155” gives you additional length, which translates into a slightly longer bed (73" x 58") and increased garage capacity (approx. 50ft³), along with more breathing room in the living and kitchen areas.
In short: the 135” is perfect if you want a more compact, easy-to-drive setup, while the 155” offers extra storage and comfort for longer trips or carrying more gear.

What’s the difference between the Cargo and Passenger versions?

Great question—and an important one. The Passenger version (often an ex-minibus) comes with factory interior trims, windows, and a finished roof lining. Our kit is specifically cut to fit around these features, giving you 360° views, better natural ventilation, and no need to install wall panels.
The Cargo version, on the other hand, is a bare metal panel van. This gives you slightly more usable interior space and flexibility, but you’ll typically need to insulate, panel, and add windows yourself if desired. It really comes down to whether you prefer a ready-to-use interior (Passenger) or a blank canvas (Cargo).
