Conversion Description

A unique layout for a self build to provide 4 fixed berths. 6′ full standing height inside!!
The main bed is slightly narrower than a double to allow the 2 bunks to be fitted to the side. The fixed beds leave room underneath for a large garage storage area accessible by the rear door.

The dining area is created by swivelling both front seats around to face the matching belted rear travelling seats, an adjustable folding table gives flexibility.

The 3 cupboard kitchen unit has a sink, with a rechargeable cold water tap and a twin burner gas hob, which is powered by the camping gaz 907 cylinder fitted in the cupboard below. The cylinder is fitted in a gas box and to appropriate safety standards. Gas safety check certificate included.
Next to the gas cupboard is the 19l freshwater and waste containers. A third cupboard provides loads of space for stocking with snacks.
A skylight/ extractor is fitted for ventilation.

We fitted a large Alpicool 65l fridge freezer which provides space for a week of adventures. The fridge can be controlled by bluetooth and has ample freezer space in the top.

The unique layout allows space for a separate toilet cubicle, which contains a portable chemical toilet and drawers for storage, which we used for clothes.

The camper is powered by a 150ah AGM leisure battery, charged by a split charger and 250w of solar on the roof. On a sunny day the MPPT charger replenishes the battery completely during the day. A battery monitor is fitted under the bunk beds for real time updates.
The system powers LED lights, USB sockets, the fridge, extractor and the diesel heater.
During one trip our park up was under cover and we were able to go for 3 days to 50% before moving into the sun to recharge.

As Mo was previously a minibus there are lots of windows, which are tinted for Privacy. Black out blinds are fitted throughout for night time.

Beds Description

4 fixed berths.
1 x small double sized, main bed 115x190cm
2 x child bunks 60x190cm
