Frequently asked questions

Short answers about Vansembly as a planning and decision-support tool for DIY van conversions. During closed access, available capabilities may vary.

Who is Vansembly for?

Vansembly is for committed DIY builders—especially first-time builders—who have a van or are close to choosing one and want to turn scattered ideas into a practical plan. It is not a done-for-you conversion shop or a finished-van retailer.

Which vans does Vansembly support?

Initial support is focused on Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Ford Transit, and Ram ProMaster builds. Exact model years, lengths, roof heights, and configurations may vary during closed access, so include your specific van when you request access.

Do I need to know my whole build before I start?

No. Vansembly is designed to begin with what you know, help surface what is still undecided, and move you toward the next useful choice. The plan can become more specific as your build takes shape. You do not need a complete journey mapped on day one.

Is Vansembly a generic AI chatbot?

No. Vansembly is being built as a guided planning workspace that carries requirements and prior decisions forward. The goal is connected decision support for your build—not one-off answers with no memory of the plan.

Can Vansembly tell me whether every product will fit and work together?

It can help compare specifications, surface likely conflicts and tradeoffs, and flag what still needs checking. It does not guarantee fit, compatibility, or completeness. Always confirm critical dimensions, current manufacturer documentation, and installation requirements before buying or building.

Does Vansembly replace an engineer, electrician, or other professional?

No. Vansembly is planning and decision-support software—not a certification, inspection, code approval, or professional stamp. Structural changes, vehicle systems, electrical work, gas or fuel systems, weight-critical choices, and other safety-critical decisions may require a qualified professional. Outputs are not "safe," "code-compliant," or "approved" designs.

What about electrical, wiring, or weight numbers I see in a plan?

Treat sizing, diagrams, load notes, and weight or distribution figures as planning estimates and decision support, not final engineered designs. Verify against your vehicle, current manufacturer instructions, applicable codes, and a qualified professional before you purchase, cut, connect, or install. Vansembly does not automate certified wiring designs and does not claim ABYC (or other standards) compliance for your build.

Does Vansembly show live product prices?

Not as a guaranteed live price feed on marketing pages. Where product context appears, expect sourced comparisons and details that can change. Confirm current price, stock, and specs with the seller or manufacturer before you buy. (If a live seller feed ships later, we will say so clearly.)

What is available during closed access?

Access is limited while the guided journey is developed and tested. Available capabilities may vary. Some parts of the full experience described on the site are planned rather than currently available. Planned does not mean available today. We will be clear about what you can use when access is offered.

How do I get access?

Email hello@vansembly.com with a short note about your van and where you are in your build. We will reply with current availability and next steps.

Is there a public blog or resource center yet?

Not as a hollow index. We are prioritizing clear marketing pages (including this FAQ and How it works) first. Longer cornerstone articles may come later when they are worth ranking.
