I bought the van from network rail in January 2020 and converted it over the following months, with additions/changes being done continuously over the year. I had the intention of travelling through Europe over the summer but Covid meant I was restricted to the U.K. I’ve spent a few months living in the Van and loved every minute of it.

She’s been through numerous different designs. I have recently repainted the kitchen cabinets and the concrete counter tops have been the latest addition which is a shame because I haven’t been able to enjoy them for that long. But you can!!

The van is fully insulated with dodo thermo fleece, made from recycled plastic bottles, covered by a 7mm dodo thermo liner to add a sealed vapour barrier.
The eberspacher 12v diesel heater provides central heating to the living space. It is directly connected to the fuel tank, and is controlled by a thermostat and it is mounted under the bench.
There are two 85 amp hour batteries connected to both an alternator from the engine and a solar panel.
There are four roof bars that the 310 watt JA solar panel is attached to. I have left space on the roof rack to attach a kayak, bikes etc.
The 310 watt solar panel is very efficient. It is a mono percium panel.
The solar controller is a 40amp hour Renogy MPPT controller.
There is a 240v inverter with a UK three pronged socket, two usb charging ports, and a cigarette lighter port. The ceiling lights are 12v warm colour led. And there are a few fairy lights dotted around.
There is a 12v TV with DVD player and Ariel. This also has the capability of being attached to a satellite should you so wish.

The bespoke concrete kitchen work tops were installed by @bristolconcretestudios, and are my favourite thing in the van.
There is a voyager 4500 oven, grill and double hob.
There is a 400w microwave.
The sink is a bar sink. The tap is controlled electronically by a 12v pump, and has a hose function that stretches to 1m (perfect for washing sand off your feet). There is a 10l water tank under the sink and the water drains straight out from under the van. When I’ve been in places that don’t allow this I just throw a bucket underneath to collect the excess water.

I’ve bought a brand new Portapotti that is in the bathroom and I have a couple of litres of the chemicals. This has come to be extremely useful when I’ve been camping in cities. The room/cupboard that the toilet is in has doubled up over time as a walk in wardrobe/larder. `
Attached to the back door is a camplux lpg shower.

The bench lifts up to reveal two very large storage sections. The bench also doubles as a small spare bed.

The Bed is small, which does mean there is more living space. It measures 4ft3 by 5ft5 Diagonally it measures over 6ft, perfect for a solo camper, or a small couple! It could easily be extended should you so wish.

Under the bed is a huge garage compartment. I’ve managed to get 3 bikes in there (with the front wheels off) and still had space for camping chairs and other bits and bobs.

Up front, in the cab, there are 3 seats. There is a CD/radio with an aux cable. There are parking sensors at the rear.

I’m happy to send additional photos of the conversion process to anybody who’s interested. Open to offers.
