After 15 happy years we’ve reluctantly decided it’s time to part company with our lovely van. Originally a fairly basic panel van DIY conversion, in 2018 we had it professionally converted. The addition of a fixed high top roof was a revelation, allowing comfortable use of the interior at all times as well as loads of extra storage. The interior conversion was done to a very high standard, using a one-off bespoke design to maximize storage space for all the gear you could possibly need for a multi-activity trip, while still allowing for those creature comforts at the end of an active day. It now has everything you need for either on-site or several days off-grid living, giving you the flexibility to go when and where you want.
Vans like this don’t come up for sale very often so grab your chance now.
Fixed color-matched high roof with skylight & 2 opening sliding windows fitted by Drivelodge, Keighley.

– 1m long fixed section with comfortable flat foam mattress
– slides out to 1.95m length (with the addition of the cushions from the bench seat).
Note this is a one-off bespoke design and is not a standard ‘rock and roll’ – it has a minimalist frame and the sliding section has no support (yet is rated to 200+kg), allowing for a huge amount of storage underneath (see pictures)
Please note: Quirky Campers do not inspect the listings for accuracy or check campervans in person. We have asked sellers to provide evidence of certificates and paperwork however you MUST check yourself that the information provided is present and correct. You will need to exercise the normal due diligence when buying any vehicle.
