Cosy camper conversions is a family run operation. My name is Malcolm. I have a PhD in mechanical engineering and I love making beautiful and functional things, especially out of wood. I live in Midlothian with my wife, Clare, our two young children and our cat. I’ve spent a lot of time living in small vans so I have an appreciation of all of the little details which can make living in a van such a joy.
I’m a big fan of traditional cabinet making techniques and combine these with my engineering background to make wooden furniture that is lightweight and robust enough to withstand the rigours of van life.
My Signature conversion is based on a Fort Transit L3h3 or similar, with two double beds, six belted seats and everything you need to keep you comfortable off grid. One of the beds can easily partitioned into two child beds to make an ideal family van.
I’m also happy to build fully bespoke conversions. As a customer you can have as much input as you like into every aspect of the design. You will receive weekly photo updates allowing you to adapt any decisions as the build progresses.
