Conversion Story: Morris was converted by the amazing Joe Clarke (Campervan Craftsman). It used to be a white delivery van, and is a stealth campervan as it is inconspicuous on the outside so it can be parked up overnight without drawing attention. Inside, it is beautifully fitted out with a wood interior and lovely features. Morris is a family and friends van project that took around 4 months in 2017. The ash and oak are both sourced from a local timber mill near Shepton Mallet, both are sustainably grown in the UK. The insulation is a mix of 75% sheep’s wool and 25% natural recycled fibres. It is a compressed form for travel, and reduces transport impact by more than 50% compared to other natural insulation and makes. The curtain fabric needed to be a high polyester content to avoid mildew spotting so we chose a heavyweight eco-canvas made with 45% recycled content. We used to hire vans for festivals, and realised we always ended up leaving the bed down, so a comfortable bed and a removable adjustable table with stools were a good solution.
