Hi, we are The Little Rebel Conversions and this is our latest baby – Mylkï.

Anyone who is even slightly interested in vanlife has had sparkles in their eyes as they drive past a classic VW van, wondering where it has been or what adventure its about to go on.
We know we have. 😌
Let’s just say this one is definitely a head turner. Mylkï (which used to be a ‘milky’ off white colour hence the name) has been painted in a dreamy VW classic Mango Green on the outside and has been fitted out to suit all types of travellers. Perfect for the weekend adventurers, the wave seekers or even those who want to explore a little further afield. This size vehicle also allows it to be a great daily runner as it fits in a regular parking spot and at 2.15m she fits under many height restricted car parks.

Here at the The Little Rebel Conversions great design is always at the forefront of our builds. Not only do we optimise the layout with plenty of storage, thoughtful space saving features and practical answers to every travellers’ needs, but we also aim to have unique, beautiful interiors. Kitty is a trained interior designer and this is where her creativity comes alive, aiming to create spaces that feel homely yet exciting at the same time. With Mylkï we have gone for a combination of terracotta, sage green and a crisp white with accents of black and brass along with natural textured & patterned fabrics to create this fun, fresh interior. You can be rest assured that you’ll have one of the most stylish campers on the road!
The front cab is also in great condition, with original fabric seats that have minimal wear and tear and a reupholstered headlining to better fit the overall feel of the van. We have kept the original CD player, and it even comes with a greatest hits CD from the 60s, could it get any better?!

*How does the seating/sleeping situation work? 😴

During the day the L shaped banquette is a dreamy hang out spot, all the furniture was built low throughout to create this feeling of spaciousness and gives you the perfect spot anywhere you sit in the van for gazing at the view out of the large unobstructed back window or from the sliding side door, wherever you park there’s always a view to be had!
If this isn’t enough view for you then head on up to the roof deck where there is plenty of space to spread out and take in your surroundings.

Back in the lounge now, we have installed a Laguna style removable table to allow for indoor dining on those rainy days, or more intense poker nights with your travel mates (up to 4/5 people – seriously we’ve approved and tested it!). Alternatively the 360 degree function makes for a perfect remote office desk for those who work online.

At night the sofa easily pulls out into a cosy bed (120x180cm) in about 15 seconds and creates a perfect 2 person cocoon for you to dream up all these adventures you’re about to embark on.

You’ll also find 2 Mini Heki DOMETIC skylights placed directly above both ends of the bed which is great for ventilation and airflow, but also perfect for some stargazing. These both are fitted with thermal blackout blinds and retractable mosquito nets! For extra coziness we have also installed light filtering curtains at the back of the van and also just behind the seats to the front cab which provide complete privacy from the outside as well as a more comfortable nights sleep.

*How do you power all your electrical stuff in Mylkï? 🔋

We’ve kitted this van out with an all in one Jackery 500 portable Solar Generator which provides for all your electricity needs with clean energy ⚡️.
For those unfamiliar with this technology, allow us to catch you up:

-500W Lithuim battery: much more lightweight than your average AGM or Gel batteries, has a much longer lifespan and is the most eco friendly battery type to recycle ♻️
-Pure Sinus Wave integrated 240v inverter – 500w (1000w surge): which sounds daunting we know but all it means is that you can charge most of your household appliances just like you would at home. From your laptop to your mini blender or your projector for movie nights.
-100W Monocrystalline Solar Panel: this foldable/portable piece of kit will charge your battery on the go in the less than 10hrs (from 0 to 100%) on those sunny days, which is great for these longer road trips off the grid.
-integrated MPPT charge controller: which allows you to plug in the Solar Panel worry-free. It will regulate your Solar Charge to protect your battery and your devices.
-3 different ways of recharging your generator: solar panel as discussed above, from a 240v outlet at home or while driving in the cigaret lighter outlet. Which should give you plenty of options to never run out of power!

Ultimately we chose this beauty for its durability, portability, ease of use, power and the fact that your energy source is not only confined to your vehicle. Keeping in mind the adventurers, we wanted to meet all your electrical needs wherever the journey takes you.

If you’re interested in a more detailed description or the appliances run time, please check out the company’s website: jackery.co.uk under “Solar Generator 500”.

We also opted for magnetic detachable , rechargeable lighting in this build. We have 2 overhead Led lights with 3 different light ‘temperature’ settings which can be controlled via remote or just by tapping the side. There are also 2 beautiful beech wood ambient lights which have a motion sensor setting or can be switched on manually from the top which creates the perfect evening glow.
Both types of lights can be recharged using a USB as and when needed!

*How do you cook your favorite meals or make your morning coffee? ☕️

Mylkï is lucky enough to have a tailgate boot which makes for the perfect cover for a predominantly outdoor kitchen. This spacious kitchen has plenty of storage for dry foodstuffs, tableware, foldable camping chairs, outdoor rugs etc etc… it also has a double ring gas hob (with removable gas cartridges for ease of use throughout Europe), a 22 litre fridge that has the ability to even make ice cubes! We also added a little extra something with the ‘wine cellar’, this fully insulated cupboard has space for 4 bottles of wine at a time, pretty essential if you ask us! 🍷

There is also a 12 litre water tank that can be easily removed and refilled, a pop out washing up bowl with drying rack to keep on top of those dirty dishes, a cutlery drawer and a one off, custom painted pull out table so that you can eat your meals alfresco under the cover of your tailgate boot. This was our set up of choice as it allows to maximise the living space in the van without compromising on the cooking experience. 👨‍🍳👩‍🍳

*So what’s the deal with the roofdeck? 🌅

We built Mylkï with adventurers in mind, and felt like there often is untapped potential at the top of these vans, this is why we absolutely had to have this feature on this build. There is plenty of space to set up a cute little rooftop picnic, or to lay and watch the stars go by. The deck itself bypasses the skylights so it can still be used for transporting surfboards, paddle boards or anything else you want! To get access to the roof deck we have a neat little telescopic ladder that lives behind the driver’s seat that can be easily whipped out and used.

*Where do you put all of your stuff?

There is literally tonnes of storage in Mylkï! At the entrance there is a shoe cupboard, with more or less enough space for 4 pairs of shoes (depends how big your feet are 😉) 2 huge drawers and an extra cupboard for your sheets/clothes/larger items under the sofa, large hidden storage behind the cab, a smaller cupboard next to the wheel arch for your longer items, an alcove with shelving and at the back, excluding the kitchen storage there are 2 large wells at either side which a perfect for storing camping chairs/towels/outdoor rug etc.

*Extras

Mylkï has been insulated with 19mm Armaflex for thermal insulation throughout as well as soundproofed with Dodomat. We would argue that it is the best stuff on the market.
As an added safety feature, the van comes with a built-in alarm system and a wheel lock. We also provide the European Driving Kit & Good vibes. ✌️

How does she run?

Now that all the design dreaminess out there, we thought a little background on Mylkï would be in order. We bought Mylkï as a plain white panel van, from someone who had kept it really neat – we could hardly believe our luck when we first found her – and maybe more importantly in dry storage her whole life. This meant very minimal rust and absolutely no body work needed. The van is mint. And don’t worry, the very few little bits of rust found has been fully treated before the coach enamel paint job we carried out.
We didn’t want to just make a pretty van, so we have had it checked out by professional mechanics to make sure she is all sound and that she can keep up with all the adventures to come. All have said how beautiful she has been kept. We made amendements on the bits that had gotten old, such as the cooling system including the radiator, the accessory belt, a few sensors, and other minor bits… we have driven her from the UK to France and back without a hitch. All the paperwork for the works done is provided for your piece of mind. We’re told these vans tend to return what you give them… if you look after them, they will in turn look after you, and you can tell this T4 is one of the few lucky ones.

All in all, we hope you find this van as dreamy as we do. Please do not hesitate to contact us on WhatsApp +44 7493 210423, we can forward you a whole van tour video and we look forward to having a chat with you!
