Conversion Story: Toots began life as a police incident response vehicle complete with blue flashing lights and a CB radio. This is the 3rd van Tom has converted, but the first to be hired out. Tom and Sally are a jack of all trades couple, both qualified teachers but also veteran hospitality workers, travellers, van-lifers and musicians amongst other things, as well as being professional van converters and full time parents. As a keen DIYer Tom converted their first van before they moved to Spain in 2015, developing a love for van life and van conversions. Developing his skills for the second van, he converted a Mercedes Sprinter to a much more professional standard in 2019 with the intention of renting out, before being sold when baby Molly arrived. Toots marks their 3rd van, and although a recent conversion has already had many family adventures.
