It’s easy to be confused or get carried away when you have just got your new vehicle and want to get it converted into a campervan for the summer. First thing, don’t rush! It’s always worth taking your unconverted vehicle away for a weekend camping to get an idea of how you will use the vehicle in the future. Remember, chances are you will use your vehicle on a day to day basis as well as camping, don’t get carried away by the fun weekend use and over look the more mundane shopping trip or school run.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)
How much is a conversion likely to cost?
If you are trying to buy a vehicle and factor in the conversion into your budget, you really need to have an idea of the type of conversion you will be having fitted.

How long will a conversion take?
We try to keep the most popular of our modular campervan pod units in stock, this allows us to install basic facilities such as a seat and pod unit in a day or while you wait.
