I’ll need basic information about your van (make, model, year, VIN, mileage), photos of both the interior and exterior, along with details of your conversion and the components used.
You’ll also have the opportunity to provide additional details, such as a list of expenses/receipts incurred to complete the conversion, which can further support the appraisal. -
Yes, appraisals are completed remotely and are available to clients across Canada.
To help verify the vehicle and ensure the information provided is current and accurate, you’ll be asked to complete a few verification steps when submitting your information. These include providing date-stamped photos and a brief video showing your appraisal order number, VIN, odometer reading, and a walkthrough of the vehicle.This process allows me to complete a thorough appraisal without requiring an in-person inspection.

Yes. I’m an independent, accredited appraiser through the Specialty Vehicle Appraisal Institute (SVAI), and I have not encountered an insurer declining one of my appraisal reports.
However, individual insurers may have their own requirements, so if you’re obtaining an appraisal for a specific policy or claim, it’s always a good idea to confirm their requirements in advance.

Your completed appraisal report will typically be 20+ pages and will provide a detailed overview of your vehicle and its value.
The report includes information about the vehicle and its condition, details of the camper conversion and major components, market research and comparable vehicles, the final appraised value, and numerous supporting photos.
