  • Next level!

    Instagram link doesn't seem to work?

  • Dammit. Now edited.

    Thanks for all the kind words! I'm trying to make a business out of this so if anyone is looking to get a conversion done, pls drop me a message!

    Got a full size Transit called Big Jim starting very soon 😃

  • love it, really nice work, and great to see individual style without looking like its been thrown together!

    @advanturetrafic on insta!

  • Good to be back in more southerly latitudes, and christening the alfresco cold shower. Just perfect in 32C.

  • Test driving donor vans tomorrow!

  • Think i've mentioned it before, if you are going for older van go for one of the Sevel vans. Galvanised from the factory. All the others rust. Been running a cable underframe for a rear camera on my Relay. No rust! none anywhere.

  • Thanks it will be the family car as well as campervan so looking at a nearly new transporter, just debating between getting a van and doing fit out now or getting a shuttle and getting conversion linked up later in the year…

  • Ok, premium on a very combi is crazy high, so will be go panel van.

    I know what the design I want is, and it’s broadly standard, but I don’t want a rock and roll bed, just two individual seats with isofix and a nice big boot.

    Any recommended converters?

  • Upholstered the seat cushions with a lot of help from my mother. Ready for an overnighter today.

  • Looks amazing, have fun!

  • check out vivaro / trafic, slightly bigger, far better pricing, no VW tax.

  • Do you keep the bike outside when sleeping inside?

  • Yup, prop ‘em up together under the tarp tent thingy and lock them together. Only staying at campsites that’s why I chance it.

  • Make sense, plus you can always get those motorcycles disc brake alarm padlock to really make sure it hard to get away with it.

  • Buy a VW T5/6, get 4 floor rails installed. Then search ebay for California/ Caravelle rear (or 5th) seats

    (I had an additional rail fitted to accommodate an additional 3rd row single seat)

  • Does anyone need any sound deadening for a conversion? I have 14 sheets of Dodo Mat DEADN Hex sound deadening left over from mine

  • yes please! dm'd

  • In dodgy lands- could you take the front wheel off and chuck them across the front seat?

  • Sound deadening still available if any other takers - each sheet is 375mm x 250mm. Just realised it's also not "DEADN" as per the link as I bought it late last year, it's whatever last years version was called.

  • For those who like to wild camp, this is under treat;

  • Ignoring that it’s not a true EV and people have been campervanning eNV200s for years, it still looks shite. £62k+VAT

  • does anyone have a recommendation for a conversion company, there are a million out there, and while i've found one i like they cant do anything till November at best, and i'm impatient!

    preference for around berkshire so I can go and see them relatively easily

  • what van and what you looking to get done?

  • Big red is running well..
