VW Crafter – Campervan Conversion
Bespoke Design
It was an absolute pleasure to work with such a lovely couple to Design their very own adventure Campervan.
The couple who are amazing outdoor enthusiasts gave us their wish list & must haves in their Campervan which included the importance of being able to carry 2 x 10 ft longboards, 2 x Mid length surfboards, 2 x Mountain bikes & various outdoor equipment.
They also wanted their Conversion to have an open plan spacious feel & most vital, a comfortable bed. With all this taken onboard we set to work to make dreams come true.

As we had to accommodate the size of the longboards, we built an opening from the garage area, which went under the bench seat in the living area.
The huge garage had enough space to house all of their requests, with lighting & a 12-volt socket so they can charge any equipment as required. Over the garage is the ultimate Kingsize bed with 8-inch Comficel memory foam mattress, providing the most amazing night’s sleep.
In the bedroom area we installed 2 x touch dimmable reading lights (with USB charging points) creating a lovely ambience at night. The 2 x lockers also have a vast amount of space for all their clothes.
The Kitchen boasts a beautiful Oak worktop, with a round sink & cold water tap with removable worktop cut out & also a section of lift up worktop so it can extend the space, making food preparation easy.
The Thetford double hob burner with electric ignition just sets this kitchen off beautifully & stands out against the white tile effect splashback. The kitchen itself has a soft close draw system, 4 x storage cupboards & an overhead shelf which is perfect for all those kitchen accessories that you want easy to hand & a touch dimmable light that can be used when cooking or for ambience lighting in the evening.
The 50 litre Dometic fridge is just perfect & really compliments the look of the kitchen. This fridge has a handy removable freezer section so you can get more in your fridge & a clever quite mode setting so that you won’t be disturbed at night. Within the kitchen area are 12 Volt, C chargers & a 240 volt socket for charging equipment.
Opposite the kitchen is the amazingly spacious & comfortable bench seat, which can also be used as a bed. Beneath the seat is access for a pull-out toilet & lots of storage. Above the seating area are two large storage lockers, with 12 volt & C chargers within the locker for charging equipment out of sight.
There are also C chargers & 240-volt sockets in the side of the seating for further charging of equipment. For dining & working from a laptop we installed an easily removable swing arm table system, which is fantastic to manoeuvre around the seating area. In the living & kitchen area we installed 6 x dimmable spot lights to provide adequate & suitable lighting as desired.
This Campervan has 3 charging systems. Solar panel, Victron dc-dc charger & 240-volt charging system, with a lithium battery at the brains of the operation.
As this couple plan to travel all year round & for warmth on those colder days or nights we installed a 5Kw Autoterm heater keep their Campervan to the desired temperature. For the warm days and nights, the Maxxair fan & rear vent work perfectly together again to facilitate the desired temperature & provide excellent ventilation when needed.
For this adventure couple who love to travel with their dog the Fiamma F80s awning is a must & provides amazing shade & also gives the opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors in the rain.
For cosy nights & a fantastic night’s sleep the Van-x blackout & thermal curtains are just perfect.
We are proud to say we ticked all the boxes & more, the lovely couple are over the moon with the transformation! Adventure ready & living the dream!
