Hello,

Thanks for tuning in.
I’ve completed this off-grid conversion just today and it is brand spanking new and never been used.

It’s a hand-crafted, rustic in places/Scandinavian-cabin type camper built by myself. It’s minimalistic and purposely neutral, both emphasising an uplifting yet light and relaxing feel. Overall a clean, refreshing space to spend time in with the considered colour pallet and amount of light combining coming in from the back windows. It’s also highly functional/practical with off-grid power and considered layout to maximise available space and light.
I am colour blind so consulted a pro fashion designer for the paint/floor/wood matching; although she didn’t give me the green light for the tea towels/throws in the pics so excuse me (and imagine the right colour) if they’re clashing.

Different types of wood have been used in it’s construction including reclaimed pieces to emphasise the rustic feel – think cosy cabin with snippets of design. Spruce cladding tops off the insulation process and decorates the interior shell, all of it lightly sanded, the bottoms of the benches have been painted with Farrow & Ball wood paint, complimented by a lighter colour around the kitchen. There’s plenty of overhead storage with the two lockers, the area above the cab, plus huge storage under the two benches — one is accessible from the back doors for longer items. The seat by the side door houses the 25litre water supply and the 4.5kg butane gas bottle is to the left of the kitchen unit and correctly vented with a mesh in the floor.

The kitchen area is compact and functional with sink / cold water supply, plus a 2-ring glass hob. There’s a very handy overhead shelf that is strong enough to support heavy weight or just your mugs and tins. The fridge is hidden in the kitchen unit under the drawer and is both 12v or 230v.

There’s a see-through/get-through point into the cab and this could also provide an emergency exit to the cab. I have built this to leave a walkway through if the new owner decides on two single seats in the cab instead of the current 3, which would make it easier to pass between the two spaces. The back doors have two darkened windows. There’s no curtain though, so the new owner has a chance to add their own touch with matching cushions maybe? There are plenty of places to screw in the camper if you wanted to add extra shelfs, hooks, curtain poles etc so I can show you the best places.

There’s triple insulation in most areas of the van comprising of sound insulation, 25mm boards/Kingspan and then covered with unbroken rolls of thermal insulation foil to prevent any condensation. The only area not insulated — but rather panelled and painted — is the large side sliding door to make it lighter and easier to close and also with an eye on the addition of a future side window.

More about the spec:

The Leisure battery is a Varta LFD140: vented with an escape vent in the floor (there is plenty of room to either double up batteries or upgrade to something bigger but this will serve off-grid fridge usage day and general phone / laptop stuff.
USB charge points / three individual LED lights for different areas of the camper including under the kitchen shelf.
Water cut off switch
1000W remote controlled inverter for 230v energy (ie, stuff you want to plug in).
40litre 12v/230v Fridge with lockable door
Shurflo water pump / pressure switch connected to an onboard 25litre cold water supply
2-ring Glass domino gas hob (connected to small gas bottle -which is also vented with an escape vent)

First to view, will buy this. I’m very pleased with the conversion and this is the third Transit Mk7 conversion I’ve completed and the best so far – the other two sold to the first to view each time. Generally it’s better in person than the photos project and there are no filters on the photos btw.

This is most suitable for a solo traveller or couple, either escape wagon or full-time living as it offers a good balance between size and space, comfort and privacy. It’s still a relative blank canvas in the rear, simply by adding fabrics/pics/trinkets (or even different cushions although the current ones are very comfy), the feel could be transformed to the new buyer’s taste.
Priced fairly and competitively within the current market as I’d like to sell -enquiries by email please: vanhalla@protonmail.com
