*DEPOSIT TAKEN* NEW Transit Conversion, extra long double bed, ready to rent

A versatile campervan with rental potential

Background:
As a couple, this van has served us wonderfully for various adventures and road trips around the country. However, we now find ourselves with 2 small children and it’s time to say goodbye to our first baby! Over the last few months it’s had a re-design with all new fittings, built to a professional standard through my 14 years experience as a carpenter/joiner.

Design:
Aesthetically, A ‘Hague blue’ and dark shades lower level makes way for an upper level of lighter tones with timber features. When the rear doors are open, the horizontal birch ply slats with contrasting shadow gap leads your eye out to whatever glorious viewpoint you are parked up at.
The main drive/brief for the design of this van conversion was to try and get away from the rustic style and tongue-and-groove board ceilings that seem to be ubiquitous with many camper conversions and explore a slightly more modern/minimalist yet still appealing style.

General:
– Insulation:
I carried out extensive research before I commenced this step of the build and eventually arrived at the following combination. Both of the insulation types I used appealed because they were both impervious to any sort of condensation. The entirety of the rear section (and above the cab) is insulated with Actis Hybris 40mm insulation in any available cavity and then an uninterrupted layer (including the floor) of SuperQuilt Multifoil insulation which doubles as a vapour control layer. This is not far off a combination equivalent to that used in houses.
– 70% tinted windows fitted to the side sliding door (with opener) and rear barn doors
– Carpet lining to all exposed metal surfaces in living section (Including doors)
– Roof access ladder fitted to rear door
– Roof bars fitted, very handy for surfboards, kayaks or other larger items
– As you can see, this vehicle has been weighed since completion (and with both water tanks full) at 2640kg. This means there is a whopping 860kg you could add before it reaches its max payload.
