Conversion Description

Looking for the perfect off-grid camper van? Look no further!

This ex-removals VW Crafter Luton box van was converted into a camper van in 2022, designed with practicality, comfort, and self-sufficiency in mind. It’s a fantastic setup for weekend adventures, full-time van life, or even as a mobile base for work or festivals.

We’ve used the van for all of the above and have really enjoyed the space. It is self converted so decoration may not be to your taste, but this can easily be changed.
