This van was handcrafted by the previous owner – we bought it in 2020 and since then have replaced the bed with a professionally built king size bed/sofa, improved the electrics and had the bodywork cleaned up. This van is absolutely packed with storage – so much space!
It’s completely ready for full time or longer trips – you can go a week with two people before needing to empty or refill any tanks, and the electrics are completely off grid. We designed the electrics so both of us could work full time on our laptops. The leisure batteries are recharged when you drive, and there is a large solar panel on the roof.
We lived in it for two months last summer but plans changed it has been our weekend van since then, and recently spent 10 days touring Wales. We are now sadly moving on but would love to pass the torch and let this beautiful van continue his adventures!
Vehicle improvements:
– Reversing camera
– Tinted side and rear windows
– Roof vent / skylight in kitchen / living area
Conversion:
– Full width sofa which converts to a king size bed and can be tilted to make it more snuggly. We don’t like the usual tiny, rigid campervan seating, so we made ourselves a full size comfy sofa!
– Day bed which becomes part of the king size bed at night
– Flip up desk / extra worktop area
– Large removable dining table with moveable boat arm
– Dog bed area / compost toilet storage area (we stored the toilet there when driving then used it as a dog bed area when parked up). Under the sofa.
– Diesel heater with timer and thermostat. Heats up the van so quickly!
