2 usb sockets by the bed and desk/sink.
Sink and tap – rechargeable tap (charge lasts weeks), drains into container, sink with lid.
Bed – hexa ply storage unit specially made by Escapade Joinery and based on Plyguys ‘Torridon’. 1700mm long, (with 400mm space to extend length if required to 2100mm) width between 650-1000mm. Big pull-out rear draw takes 40kg and can also be used as pull out cook/work station. The front part is storage ( at the mo, Jackery is in there with space for food, clothes etc)
The van layout is adaptable and modular, not full of tiny awkward laminated cupboards. I wanted space so it can be a van that’s useful for moving lots of stuff but can also be a comfortable day van and camper. Everything can be unscrewed, it’s not full of glue like some vans ! (If and when repairs to the van are needed, a mechanic won’t need to rip the conversion apart). All the storage, the handmade hooks etc are plywood treated with Osmo or painted. The white storage walls are Ikea Skaddis with a range of movable hooks, clips, containers etc, that all come with the sale.
When away I use the ply hooks with bags for clothes and food etc, with webbing to hold them back. This means the van isn’t full of ‘stuff’ when I’m using it day to day and there’s room for my work equipment, laptop etc.
The bulkhead and it’s steel bar have been left in, with a hole for access and security (with a neoprene blind that lifts up and down). For safety (risk of being rear ended and all the furniture and contents shoot forward) and the extra wall space it provides plus it’s ‘stealth van’ look through the front windows. The bulkhead is easily removed (bolts) if required.
A Fiamma roofvent is ready to fit if the buyer wants it. I open the window a bit for ventilation, trims are on the front windows so noone can see that the window is open. I’ve not been able to decide whether to fit it.
I thought I’d also fit rear windows to make driving easier but there’s no need, the mirrors and sensors are enough. The lack of windows makes it v stealthy and also easier to keep cool in the summer. I also don’t like loads of curtains, they get in the way, blow around, take up space and look like a campervan.
A Portapotti comes with, if you want it. With a fabric bag to cover it and carry it. It’ll be thoroughly cleaned and bleached, it’s hardly been used.
I’ll supply photos and info to show how the van was converted, so you’ll know exactly what’s behind everything, what’s attached to what, where battens and wires are, what materials and components were used. All receipts for everything in it will be supplied. It’s been a labour of love. I’ve had help from pro convertors, electricians and joiners. I’ve owned 3 vw campervans before this one, so have some experience and knowledge.
Why am I selling ? Because my children have flown the nest and I thought it was time to own a camper van then my Dad lost his driving license and is disabled and I quickly need a different kind of vehicle. It’s why I’m selling at this price (van value is £22,500 with £5,000 worth of stuff inside)
Photos of the conversion will also be provided. Plus all relevant receipts.
