Conversion Description

METHOD VANS – Handcrafted Campers

PLEASE NOTE – Price is £74,600 + VAT

I’m Joe, a cabinetmaker turned converter, and this is the latest of my METHOD VANS handcrafted campers. It is a brand new and beautiful one-of-a-kind conversion executed with huge attention to detail. Utilising a mixture of lightweight poplar plywood, oak veneers and laminates has resulted in a high-end finish whilst keeping weight to a minimum.

This is a van that is more than capable of sustaining you off-grid with its 380W PV, 200AH lithium ROAMER battery bank, solar rig, water and LPG tanks but would sit equally as comfortably on a campsite with its extremely tidy exterior and power hook-up. A full spec is bullet-pointed towards the bottom.

The van is complete with Fiamma f80s awning in black, Maxxfan, stargazing skylight above the bed, spare wheel carrier and brand-new black steel wheels and all-terrain tyres for those tougher routes.

The silver paintwork of the van has been broken up with a subtle and tasteful vinyl design featuring a grey wrap below the plastic trim and a 3 stripe colour combo in-keeping with the interior theme, running from front to back and across the back doors. These stripes are broken occasionally with the round ‘Method Vans’ logo.

The cabinets have poplar plywood interiors with hand painted fronts and eye-catching yellow handle detail. The kitchen and seating area are finished in a dark grey and the walls and bathroom in an ‘Indian White’. All cabinet doors are hung on superior Tiomos hinges and have strong magnetic catches. The drawers are mounted on Dynapro soft-close runners.

The kitchen includes the following: eye-level wall cabinets with shelving; slim, solid oak worktop with extra fold-up work surface; Thetford hob/oven/grill; sink and tap; end unit with shelving; under oven storage for oven trays; integrated Alpicool Adventurer 50 12v compressor fridge; control panel cupboard which houses control panels for air heater, hot water heater, gas tank read-out, water level read-out, Victron battery monitor and Victron CCGX.

The sleeping area includes a small step up to a full double width bed with memory foam mattress, and a storage ‘trough’ both sides for clothes, a book, phone, drink etc and a charging point and reading light. There is also a ‘media’ shelf with Bluetooth amp for music, a 240v supply for a laptop and a 12v USB socket for charging.

Towards the front of the van is the seating/dining area. This comprises 1 seat facing forwards and the driver’s seat which swivels 180 degrees with the dining table in between. The table is mounted on folding brackets which allows it to be easily folded away.

Above the front seats is the over-cab shelf with flap-up door; perfect for storing bedding. This has been carpeted inside and out to match the cab lining.

The bonded side windows are tinted for privacy and are neatly framed with painted reveals.

The nearside of the garage space is where the 200AH ROAMER lithium battery, Victron Orion Smart DC-DC charger, 12v isolator, 240v breakers, fuse/switch board with switches and fuses for the lights and all 12v accessories, and Victron Energy EasySolar 12/1600/70 which is your all-in-one MPPT solar charge controller, inverter/charger and AC distribution.

The offside of the garage space houses the iMass instantaneous hot water heater, Propex Heatsource air heater, gas manifold and water shut off valves. Both sides of the garage and accessories are concealed behind 2 black roller shutters.

The toilet/shower room is a wet room with black Tambour door, hot shower and drainage straight through the floor where the sink waste meets it. The room is ventilated through the roof with a 12v mushroom vent extractor.

The floor in the living space is an engineered oak finished with a hardwearing matt lacquer.

Finally, the garage area floor at the rear of the vehicle is constructed using a tough, grey phenolic plywood. The garage includes a pull-out bike drawer on 125kg drawer runners, with fork mounts for two bikes. The awning pole and strengthening bar are also stored here. The garage is lit with 12v LED strip lights making it easy to load/unload and make adjustments in the dark.

This van weighs 3230kg unladen. It has been fitted with additional airbag suspension which makes it handle extremely well.
