Frequently Asked Questions
Searching for a ready built campervan, or having one professionally converted can seem like a daunting task for anyone. With so many different choices, brands and layouts available we have tried to answer some of the most popular questions:
- Which is the best van to have converted?
This is a very common question and not an easy one to answer, what works best for you will depend on your requirements and budget, but here is our opinion… The VW Transporter has a huge following and it is not surprising with the many years of experience within the leisure industry. With many different parts and upgrades available, this is often the 1st choice for many people. The Ford Custom makes a great campervan, with its modern interior and spacious loading area, it is also a very popular choice for many people. The Renault Trafic and Vauxhall Vivaro both make great campervans, they can come with a great specification level and the engines are very economical, the Renault Trafic has always been one of our favourites.
- How long does it take to convert a campervan?
Normally, we allow up to 4 working weeks for your traditional campervan conversion, for a larger Crafter / Sprinter type conversion, we allow up to 8 working weeks.
- Must my campervan be registered as a campervan?
This will mostly depend on your insurance company, some companies will start that your van must be registered, although many understand that not all campervans can be registered as a campervan by DVLA. We recommend Howdens (previously A Plan), they work with companies like ourselves and provide very competitive insurance.
- Should I invest in a solar panel?
This all depends on how you intend to use your campervan. If you plan on staying on campsite with electric hook up, then it may not be on any benefit to you, if you plan on going off grid for 2 days plus, then a solar panel would certainly be beneficial.
- Is it safe to use a night heater?
Yes, providing that the heater installed is fully tested and installed by a competent person they can be a great edition to any campervan. We enjoy many winter nights away in our campervan and stay lovely and warm.
- Can I choose the interior colours?
Yes, for your own conversion there are many different colour options to choose from, this includes the floor, trimming and main units.
