Campervan Conversion:


The latest conversion was completed in July. I originally converted this van in 2023, however wasn’t 100% happy with it and wanted to redo it before selling.

Lightweight aluminium extrusion conversion, no wood or MDF except for carpeted ply wall panels.

Rock and roll bed and cabinets are bolted to L-track, which is bolted through van floor.

This allows for removal of both (taking 20-30min), allows use as passenger vehicle or empty van, ideal for someone with bikes.

Aluminium rock and roll bed with easy conversion into a bed, 110cm wide 180cm long. 2x 3-point seatbelts. Please note the rock and roll seats are custom built, therefore not crash tested.
