Conversion Story: Suki began life as a blank canvas white delivery van purchased with sole intention of conversion. The complete conversion was carried out over a 4 month period with every element designed and built by the owner, The van was completed in July 2024 and has been used on a few trips over the summer by family. About the Owner: My name is Tim, I'm a handyman builder with a love of working out how to do things. I converted my first van "Chouette" in 2023/24, which is also available here on Quirky campers and was hired out over the summer of 2024. I had so much fun converting Chouette both as a work van and camper that I decided to do another. Suki has been built purely for roadtrips. Suki is also named after my dog who goes everywhere with me.
