How we make vanlife accessible
Find out why our product is of superior quality and retains its value.
Supporting Our Vision
Superior Quality
The vision we had from the beginning involved making vanlife accessible for everyone while being eco-friendly. We are for sustainable development. The best way to achieve this vision was to develop an ingenious, practical and highly durable product.
We are proud to say that unlike a motorized vehicle which depreciates a lot, our removable conversion kits depreciate very little. They retain their value.
RESEARCH AND
DEVELOPMENT
We learned our lessons
Before creating Roadloft, we traveled across North America living in our modified minivan for three years. The experience on the road taught us what matters in design and manufacturing. It allowed us to design an optimal model in terms of design and space planning.
Surrounding ourselves with the best
We are surrounded by specialists in design and industrial manufacturing processes with whom we have developed a unique manufacturing method and expertise.
State-of-the-art manufacturing
We have implemented a state-of-the-art manufacturing line that combines technology with our employees’ attention to detail.
Prototyping
To support our vision, we first developed and tested a series of prototypes with the help of our industrial designer. After more than 13 prototypes, we now have an optimal product: a light, strong, hyper-resistant, space-optimizing kit that retains its qualities over time.
Expertise
Our Know-How
- Optimize space
- Materials and protection
- Best practices
- Solid and light
Optimize space
Optimize space
Guided by our years on the road, we have worked to reduce handling and optimize space. We have integrated a table and a bench, a kitchen, a king-size bed with a panoramic view, a toilet area and several multi-access storage units.
Materials and protection
Materials and protection
To achieve our superior quality goals, we have brought together the best manufacturing processes: materials, cutting, wood protection and assembly.
Best practices
Best practices
During our years on the road, we had met people who got sick from mold fumes from equipment that was poorly protected from moisture. Equipment that has become unsalvageable due to mold. That’s why we decided to apply the best practices in wood protection. More expensive manufacturing steps, but not negotiable given their importance.
Solid and light
Solid and light
We use healthy, strong, but light wood for lower fuel consumption, less weight on the vehicle’s suspension and easy handling of the kit. Marine-grade poplar, the ultimate moisture-resistant wood.
Technology
Non-negotiable
quality
A QUALITY VARNISH
We consider that while sleeping in your vehicle, you should be safe from any toxic emanation. After accurately cutting each part digitally, we apply a multi-layer non-toxic varnish, even when exposed to high heat on the road.
The varnish is applied in such a way as to protect every surface and cut edge, including the sides. Because what good is a coating if it is not applied to all surfaces?
DESIGNED TO LAST
As our designer often says: “What is mechanical breaks”. Our specialists have therefore identified and implemented assembly methods to resist road vibrations. That’s why we have to limit the use of hinges and screws, because that’s what will tend to break due to road vibrations.
For what is unavoidable, such as drawer slides, no compromise, we opt for first quality hardware.
LIMIT HANDLING
On the road, the slightest manipulation can become irritating. Our design allows for easy access to luggage in a variety of ways thanks to multiple storage compartments and their ventilation hatches. All the while promoting the ventilation of the wood and the mattress.
The Roadloft conversion kit is divided into six modules weighing between 6 and 13 kilos. Compact to store, it is light to take out, install and uninstall.
TRAVEL IN COMFORT
If you’re six feet tall, you won’t be comfortable in a bed that’s too short. Roadloft’s beds are designed with that in mind.
And while many people often rely on the thickness of a mattress to determine its comfort, it’s actually the density that counts. It’s what provides optimal and long-lasting support. Our mattress, selected by a kinesiologist, is of high density and covered with a waterproof cover.
ENJOY THE VIEW
On a daily basis, thanks to the full visual clearance of the entire back, you will be able to contemplate all the great landscapes on your way. Whether you’re sitting at the table enjoying a good meal, or just lying on the bed.
SUSTAINABILITY
No depreciation
Combining all these qualities is a little more expensive, but the investment is quickly materialized by our customers.
Because unlike a motorized vehicle whose depreciation is very high from the first years, our removable conversion kits depreciate very little. Our customers who, for whatever reason, must dispose of their equipment, obtain a resale price for their used kit that is very close to its purchase price. And this even after a few years of use.

What Our customers Say About Us
Customer testimonials
The excellent satisfaction of our customers is our greatest pride. It confirms to us every day that our project is on track.
First Class Quality and Ingenious Design
We are extremely pleased with our Roadloft Kit. The quality is first class. Very ingenious design. We drove to the Yukon this summer, 20,000 km, camped in wonderful places and we were very comfortable in our van. I actually miss not sleeping in it. Many people approached us when they saw us pulling out the drawers and setting up for a meal. All were very impressed. Now we have it tucked away for the winter and it takes up very little space. We are already planning for an east coast trip this summer. I can't think of one negative thing to say.
After looking at different companies, I chose the Roadloft kit
5 stars! I was considering Doing It Myself but after looking at other companies, I finally chose the Roadloft kit. I can assure you that I made THE best choice! I’m really proud of my purchase. The kit is extremely well made. Everything is thorough, from the space optimization to the quality of the materials. My converted minivan allows me to take the road with all the comfort I need. Congratulations to Roadloft and its team! An amazing company from Quebec.
After having an RV for ten years
We are very satisfied with our Roadloft conversion kit. It is obvious that this equipment was designed by experienced travelers. The space is well thought out for comfort, storage and versatility. It’s appreciated for our small getaways and our big trips, while using the same vehicle for work. We used to own an RV for ten years and we don’t regret the change. Roadloft fulfills our need to own a camper that is smaller, cheaper, polyvalent and discrete. We are proud to support young local entrepreneurs.

Après avoir vécu le camping en tente-roulotte avec nos trois enfants, RoadLoft est le concept parfait pour moi et ma conjointe. Tout a été pensé afin que nous passions de courts ou longs séjours agréables à faible coût. L'équipe RoadLoft est attentionnée et à l'écoute de ses clients. Note parfaite pour cette entreprise québécoise!

We are so happy with our RoadLoft van conversion kit. Received it last June and used it on an 11,000 mile cross country (US) trip. The bed is very, very comfortable allowing us to sleep well. We saw several options but RoadLoft seemed best. Glad we made this decision.

Les étoiles vont au service à la clientèle! Très bon contact, dynamique et accessible. Nous avons precommandé notre kit par téléphone. Quelque chose m'empêchait de compléter ma transaction en ligne et on m'a téléphoné le jour suivant faisant suite à ma demande. Nous avons très hâte d'aller chercher notre kit en mars prochain. Très beau concept, je reçois des infolettres concernant la fabrication et autres astuces en attendant. Très intéressant. Suivra un nouvel avis dès que nous aurons utilisé le tout! Au plaisir.

J'ai maintenant mon kit Roadloft depuis janvier et depuis, j'ai passé plusieurs fins de semaine cette été en Terego et puis cette automne voyage de 6 semaines dans l'Ouest Canadien. Très satisfaite! Service après vente excellent!

Quel plaisir de voyager sans se soucier de tirer une caravane derrière soi! Le Roadloft s'installe facilement, est versatile, offre du rangement et du confort et surtout de la flexibilité de voyage. Plus besoin de réserver des sites de camping des jours à l'avance, on peut dormir presque n'importe où grâce à l'autonomie offerte par l'ensemble du kit. La transition repas, dodo, déplacement se fait en quelques minutes. Nous habitons en Alberta, nous avons acheté notre RoadLoft en mai et en avons profité tout l'été. J'ai hâte au printemps pour me remettre au camping, style RoadLoft afin de poursuivre notre exploration des grands espaces de l'Ouest canadien et américain.
