DO NOT BUY FROM VANSPACE! If the software is unusable they refuse to refund you even if you haven’t used it.

Raw and unrefined product. Feels and looks like a beta-version. There is no free trial for reason. Control/UI at the level not acceptable for the current market. The only advantage is the specific van-related product database/library. Yet, again, most of them have no links to real-life products.
- Product not up for a task on a serious/business level.
- Way too much hassle with controls/UI for casual use.
Have zero understanding why it takes 60-70% performance out of my nvidia GTX 1650 4GB, when Photoshop/Premiere Pro take much less for editing/rendering. Laptop was spinning fans like I was playing Cyberpunk 2077 on 2.7k resolution with high settings.
Support team works fine. Quick replies, polite answers about “How you didn’t research all our YouTube content before purchasing, so no refund. Thanks, next”.
Not salty, just amused how low-key product was created when there’s a booming demand for something of a kind.
It’s better to put more effort and educate yourself on SketchUp. One month free trial. And later you can use knowledge gained in other fields but van conversions.
I used to have Vanspace v2 which was 'okay' but I just upgraded. OMG you guys have been really busy! What a great upgrade. Loving it. Thank you.

I recently loaded V-3, it was working well, but I was struggling coloring items. I was using years of MS Office methods. Highlight then go to options. I asked the team and they responded directly to remind me to do the opposite. DO NOT select object, find color/material, then hover paint bucket over object. perfect.
I like it a lot. I have a weird problem I'm trying to figure out about coloring something white. The patterns work, the colors work, but I cannot make anything bright white. I'll keep at it.

I fell in love with everything. I appreciated the effort for this App. I am really grateful to know about Vanspace3D . Today, I really started to make our dream a reality. I said, our dream because we are 3, my wife and my baby Amanda. I am really excited and happy. In the near future I would like to collaborate with others design software and you can add some features like modeling for custom elements into the Vanspace 3D.

After many attempts to get in it finally allowed me. They said they had my van but they didn't so I used dimensions to make it and all I got was a box on the back. Really crap!!!. I persued to try to make things inside the box but nothing was like what they advertised. I emailed them but no reply. I sent messages on their facebook site and again no reply. Absolute waste of money. Better off drawing your design on a bit of paper.

UPDATE: Got a response from customer service who told me that have "new software". The new software is a series of broken links lol. They also blocked me on FB and IG to hide my comments. What a stand up group of people!
Trust the bad reviews, the software is terrible. All of those glossy videos they've made for Facebook and Youtube advertising are impossible to replicate. The software is so horrible in fact that they can't even get the login page to work correctly. The "remember me" login option doesn't work, and there is no connection between their browser page and App. Changing your account information will not transfer over.
Furthermore, once you download the software, it looks like something from the 90's and functions about the same as well. Even the "Tutorial" link from the App is gets blocked by your computer as an untrustworthy site regardless of the browser you use.
The software is hard to use and not remotely user friendly. Their claim that you can build a van in a matter of hours and thats why they "don't do free trials" is a total lie. They don't do free trails because no one would buy this garbage once they see what it actually is. Its a scam and they've spent all of their money creating trick videos for their advertising. Steer clear, save yourself the headache, money, and computer space.

This software is a scam!
If you think you'd be able to use this software - you'd be mistaken. Number 1 - the functionality is extremely limited. #2 - the 'items' used to model the space are limited....and linked to amazon for affiliate sales. (Ugh)
They know this software is not worth it.
I asked for a refund and they replied with a long email about good faith, etc. But what about good faith for the consumer. The advertised usage and what you actually get are in no way the same.
Save you money and draw out your layout on paper....or learn CAD.

I can see where you are going with this, but it is still very much Beta software (as admitted by the executable filename - VanSpace3DBETA.exe) and shouldn't be charged for at this stage.
Here are some examples of problems I found:
'Remember Me' doesn't work - asks for password every time the app starts
Auto save sometimes asks for a name, and if I choose the original name, it wants to overwrite it.
If I don't choose a name, it asks me to overwrite a backup. No explanation as to why.
Vertical panels, if too tall, stick out the side of the van at the top. Vertices are not editable.
'Quad' shapes - 2D flat panels are invisible and un-selectable when viewed edge on.
Wheel arches at back of Renault Master L3H2 (and perhaps other vehicles) are really odd, split into two parts with a large gap between them and their relative shapes change depending on the view (L, R, Rear)
The controls to resize and rotate are quite unintuitive. Objects are 3D but the circular control widgets are only 2D and it's not obvious which 2 axis they are controlling, or which direction they are moving.
The choice of objects to add to the camper van is quite limited - it's a specialist campervan app - so there should be a LOT more builtin objects.
I guess you could try drawing them but with only 3 or 4 generic shapes and no ability to edit the corners, custom shapes are gonna be a LOT of hard work.
I could go on, but you get the idea.
The upsold book - 61 tips - is another disappointment.
There is some useful info in there - but I doubt there are 61 ideas.
It is also clearly mis-sold. When advertised, it is sold as an Ebook.
But, it is actually a severely restricted HTML page, that can't be downloaded, printed or copied from. You have to come back to the webpage each time to view (can't be viewed offline). It really is quite difficult to use - not worth $8 in its current form.

It works for me. I downloaded the correct version and it runs on my laptop. This is a very inexpensive program and I was hesitant because of it but with farther reading I found out that they had a recommendations page where any suggestions, bugs or issues could be emailed. I would considered it like this... We are paying for a Beta and we are also helping to design the future of this program and for that only it has my attention. This program is great for the community for DIY, Costumers and builders. Is it perfect? No. But I got what I payed for. I was able to build my concept in 3D... I have some ideas that I have not seen yet in other vans so attempting to fully visualize them or explain them was a bit complicated but Vanlife3D has helped doing so and I'm happy with that. If there where no more updated my review would probably sound a bit different but I'm optimistic. And I made my protect 3 for less then $30 dollars if I had payed for it it would have been more for sure and probably not what I completely was looking for. On regard to customer service I have not asked for any money back since I think it's a nice deal and I got my money's worth but I have reached out several times with ideas and concepts and they have answered politely and constructively. I'm very happy with what they are doing for the community and I'm happy I can help.

YUP THE OTHERS ARE RIGHT: DONT DO IT
I thought I'd be okay, this will at least be a good start to my van design. I was wrong.
The software download and install is painful. Reminds me of Windows 3.1
The navigation tool and logic applied is backward.
The furniture and cabinet options are woeful.
The autosave constantly nags. The file naming convention is 1980's. The export feature for gif doesn't work.
Reloading the van I found the mirror feature had stuffed up, some items had moved, and cannot see windows on the van when the sides are enabled.
All up. Save your money. Find an old etcha-sketch and thank yourself for having the wisdom others (including myself) have not.

this software is genuinely painful to use, it doesn't feel like its finished and really should not be sold to the public. the process of getting refunded is ongoing and has been almost as bad as the program itself.

Reply from Vanspace3d
Awful, what the advertise vs what you get leaves a lot to be desired, I couldn’t get it to install at first then when I eventually did it was so in user friendly and looked nothing like the advert and when I tried to get a refund I was denied it because I had downloaded the software! Luckily paid through PayPal so eventually got a refund through them.. honestly buy some graph paper a pencil, rubber and ruler and save your money!

Reply from Vanspace3d
Genuinely awful.Agree with all the other negative comments. This is like something from the 80s. Avoid at all costs. I wish I had read the reviews beforehand and saved my money.
Terrible, not worth the money and their customer service is even worse. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY.
Get the free version of Sketchup, go to YouTube and you'll find loads of vids on how to use it, it took me a day of learning and now I recommend Sketchup over VanSpace3D every time.
Warning! I strongly recommend do NOT bother buying Vanspace 3d. Useless software and you will never get a refund. Their customer service is atrocious and even after answering their forced extensive surveys they will not grant it, instead they'd rather argue with 10 paragraphs an email.
This company is nothing but a money grab with a very low quality product. Don't waste your money.
Edit: In reply to your comment. Trust you to respond with that. Fact is, your customer service and ethics are atrocious, you are in no position to act like you are on any high horse whatsoever. There shouldn't have even been a discussion and it is the biggest crap I've heard that you love all your customers because the your communication says otherwise. You love the money they give you which is why you are so ridiculously stubborn about holding on to a mere $19 despite a plethora of legitimate issues raised and a customer that had your software for an hour before raising issues and asking for a refund.
I haven't dealt with such poor service in a long time. The extent of your emails trying desperately to justify your money grab, the fact that you have to mention my consumer rights and know laws so in depth is a key sign you deal with angry customers regularly. My review stays here. As a warning. I said in my very first email that I was happy to take a refund and leave it at that despite my concern with the quality of your product. I'm glad you've seen Trust Pilot and the shear amount of dislike you get here. I think a 2.1 rating is generous. Learn good service and basic decency first.

If you are only looking to drag and drop things around in a van this might be great for you.
PROS
- Simple/Easy to use
- Nice selection of vans to choose from
CONS
- Limited number of items
- NO Snap to wall features
- NO section Views
- NO way to export your ideas to drawings with dimensions
- NO refund if you are not happy with what you paid for.
If you are on the fence or possibly looking for something with dimensions (like I am) to aid you in the van build process. This product is NOT for you!
This is merely a visualization tool and should be advertised as such. This is NOT a Design tool!
You would not use this to build anything. Might as well get out some graph paper and draw out what you want.
COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY!!!

Reply from Vanspace3d
Its cheap so i guess you get what you pay for.
Good things is the library of vans.
Bad thing is there is very limited content to fill your van with. You cant produce drawing with it.
So i guess if you just wanted to play around with very basic van designs or already had a design and just want to see it in 3d then this might be for you.
Its $19 so that is why its 2 star, if i paid more for this it would of been 1 star.

Reply from Vanspace3d
this software is simply complete to make a quality layout, I recommend it with my eyes closed I had taken a 1 year subscription but in view of what Vanspace3D can offer, I have increased the version for the lifetime one

Reply from Vanspace3d
They advertise no design experience required, unless you are an expect CAD designer this is not the software for you.
Incredibly clunky and non user friendly.
Their customer service is an absolute joke. There's a reason they don't offer a trial version, no one would actually convert.
Do not buy, waste of money
