There is no one make or model that we would recommend, because they are all good in their own ways. The best vans are very much based on customer preference – how you want to use the van will dictate which make and model will suit you best. We commonly convert Ford Transit, VW Transporters (T4T5/T6 and T7’s), Renault Traffic, Vauxhall Vivaro, Mercedes Vitos, VW Crafter, Fiat Ducato, Peugeot Boxers etc. Please get in touch if you need guidance on van choices.
A small van takes approximately 6-8 weeks. A large van takes approximately 12-16 weeks. We always endeavour to communicate regularly so you know how long your van will take to be completed. We will provide an estimated turnaround date at the time of booking so you can plan ahead.
All conversions are different, however you should expect a basic van conversion to start from £17,000 for a small van (typically including pop top, windows, electrics, lining, kitchen, R&R bed). Large vans typically start from £30,000.
All vehicles are insured under trade insurance in the workshop, including full public liability. However, we still advise all customers to ensure that their van’s regular insurance continues throughout the time your vehicle is being converted with us.

Yes, some vans can go off grid with the right kind of set up. If being able to go off grid is important to you, please let us know at the time of design. We can install solar panels, invertors, diesel heaters, toilets, showers, and water tanks among other things that will allow you to camp away from camp sites.

All campervans that pass through our workshop go through a habitation inspection and receive a certificate. Health and safety is paramount.
