We are reluctantly selling our much-loved and handsomely-converted Transit campervan, as we are having another baby and it only has seats 3!
After converting the van in 2020-21, it has taken us on countless amazing trips all over the UK and Europe – first as a couple and then, after the birth of our daughter, as a family of 3. We have used it all year round as a base for surf trips, climbing and exploring and it can accommodate a ton of the adventure gear (surfboards, bouldering mats, bikes etc etc). The battery/charging/LPG/water set up has worked brilliantly and meant that we have never been short on power or water, happily running our fridge and charging laptops, cameras etc even when not driving for multiple days. The LPG tank holds more than we have ever needed to use in over a month away.
We have lavished the van with care and attention inside and out, making sure it has been well-maintained and adding numerous upgrades along the way. I’ve tried to give a comprehensive spec below, but there are so many features that I’m sure I’ve left some out!
Feel free to contact me with any questions – I also have lots of photos of the conversion process if wanted.
(Note: I did have the van weighed after converting – it came in at c.2800kg – but can’t find the receipt for this, so have listed as unweighed)
