I have completed about 98% of my build, but I have now started school and have very limited time to complete it. The finishing touches mostly include cover ups and curtains, etc. I am wondering what the average sell is for a van build. I bought the van, and probably put in 6k of amenities and build costs, with labor taking around 4-5 months. (Slow, yes, but took my time). Any suggestions?
Greetings!
We’re going to need a lot more info to be able to help you. Year, make, model, engine, location, amenities, etc. Pictures could help immensely.
Cheers!

Checking California prices, since you have CA plates, it looks like your van alone is worth $2k-3k, the additions are worth maybe 50% of what they cost on a really good day, and you can’t count your labor. So $5k-$6k would be a fair ballpark. It is a nice looking van on the outside, but I’d lose those roof racks, they hurt the looks.
I found a 1999 Chevy Coachman, full camper van, including toilet, shower, and generator with 78k miles for $6900. That was the closest comparison I could find, and it is obviously worth more than yours. It looked new inside and out, and comes with an inspection report rating it 10/10. It is also a 1 owner, inspected, smogged & licensed.
The unfortunate truth is that non factory camper vans, or modified factory camper vans, hold very little value in the average camper van marketplace. That RVIA badge is just about worth it’s weight in gold, and bone stock is what everybody wants.
GOOD LUCK!
