Kia Carnival Camper Conversion Kit
A bed, storage and, if you want it, a kitchen, moulded for your Carnival or Sedona and installed at our shop near Saint-Hyacinthe, Quebec. Nothing is screwed into the vehicle.
Which kit for your Carnival
All three models fit your Carnival and your Sedona. The Samhall, Hygge and Lya keep the same style and features from one minivan to the next. But each kit is built for your vehicle: everything is moulded to its shapes and dimensions to make the most of the space. So the choice comes down to how you travel.
Samhall. Our most versatile model, made for two. Full-width 48 × 72 in bed, built-in kitchen you can use inside (sink, electric pump and two 11 L water jugs), removable table and four large drawers.
Hygge. For people who mostly travel solo and want the most storage. The bed is 38 × 72 in, and the space it frees up becomes an extra unit with two vertical drawers and an upper cabinet. Same kitchen as the Samhall.
Lya. The simplest, lightest and most open. Full-width 48 × 72 in bed and four drawers, no kitchen. It's also the one that gives you the most freedom to keep second-row seats.
Each kit's price is on its page.
Compatible years and versions
We make our kits for the 2022 and newer Kia Carnival and for the 2015 to 2021 Kia Sedona. The Carnival replaced the Sedona in 2022: they're two different vehicles, and each one has its own kit. That's why we ask for your model and year.
Is your Sedona older than 2015, or not sure about the year? Write to us, we'll be happy to check with you.
The rear cargo space
It stays free, with all three models. Removing the third-row seats frees up a big space at the back of your Carnival, and our kits are designed to leave it to you. People often ask if that's only true for some models. It isn't, the Samhall, the Hygge and the Lya all keep it accessible.
And the well in the floor, where the third row folds away, stays accessible too. Even more room for storage.
It's the perfect spot for bigger things, like bins, a cooler or your outdoor gear.
Under the bed, you also get four drawers. On the Samhall, two open from the rear hatch and two from the front of the sofa.
Installation and lead time
Installation is included in the price of the kit. We do it at our shop near Saint-Hyacinthe, and it takes about 2 hours. Plenty of customers drive for hours to get here, and in most cases, you come in and leave the same day with your kit installed.
Third-row seats need to be removed before your appointment. For the second row, we'll confirm ahead of time what works for your kit.
The lead time is usually 4 to 6 weeks after you order. It's an estimate, and we set the installation date with you. Each kit is built for your vehicle, so we don't keep any in stock.
A deposit of $2,000 for the Samhall and the Lya, or $2,500 for the Hygge, confirms your order and books your spot in production.
See a kit in person
We welcome you by appointment at our shop. Our demo Samhall is installed in a Dodge Grand Caravan or in a 2021 or newer Toyota Sienna, depending on the time. It isn't a Carnival, but you'll see the same style and features as in the kit made for yours.

Carnival camper questions
Yes. Third-row seats are always removed, and we usually take out the second row for the installation. After that, the passenger-side seat goes back in easily, even with the kitchen: that gives you three seats.
For a fourth, we take out the kitchen and put the seat behind the driver back in too. The kitchen comes out in 5 to 10 minutes, ideally with two people. With the Lya, which has no kitchen, both seats can go back in: that makes four seats.
Since the Carnival and the Sedona don't have Stow 'n Go seats, a seat you put back stays in place for the trip: there's nowhere to stow it on the road.
Yes, it's a removable camping kit. Nothing is screwed into the vehicle, and the installation doesn't alter it in any way. The kit is designed to anchor and mould itself right into the vehicle, and everything is secure while you drive. It can be taken out and put back when needed, even though it isn't meant to come out every weekend.
The fridge drawer on the Samhall and the Hygge is 14.81 in wide by 22.875 in deep inside. The height depends on the vehicle, so send us your fridge model and we'll check it for your Carnival.
