Steve’s VW Caddy SWB Micro-Camper

Steve brought his VW Caddy to us for a conversion from a Panel Van to Micro-Camper. This was our first ever Micro-Camper conversion and we really enjoyed working on it. To start with we fully sound deadened and insulated it and used new Plywood Panels which we carpet lined in Graphite with Black on the roof. This was finished off with 4 touch sensitive dimmable LEDs. The floor was insulated, plywood lined and finished with off with Altro floor covering. Steve chose a Rusty Lee RnR bed trimmed with Black Leather feel and Red Gti trim, he also had the front seats retrimmed to match. We fitted a 2kw Autoterm diesel heater for camping in the colder weather, then added a Leisure battery with DC to DC split charger. The EHU was fitted under bonnet with mains a charger.

Chris brought his brand new T6.1 Kombi to us for some Exterior Styling and some inside work. We fitted the Leighton Vans LV-R Styling Kit with side bars and 20″ gloss black Alloy Wheels. The van was the lowered using Bilstein B14 coilovers. We think you will agree the exterior looks amazing. Inside we fully carpet lined in Anthracite, and installed a Kombi bulkhead. The existing seats were then retrimmed in Black Leather feel and Red Gti trim. These were finished off with new seat belts re-webbed in Black with Red Gti strip. We were really impressed with the quality of the LV-R kit and think this van is a real head turner now.

Peter and Sarah-Jane brought their new VW T6.1 SWB to us for a full Sunset Campers Conversion. They wanted a Skyline Aurora roof, colour coded in Ravenna Blue, with Maritime Smoke Grey Scenic Canvas. Inside we fully sound deadened and insulated throughout and finished with ply line and smoke grey carpet. The customers chose Vanshade panels with Midnight blinds and Camper Glass windows all round. We used DoDo Mat Duo sound deadener and insulation on the floor and finished with new plywood and Altro flooring in Blizzard colour. For the furniture we used Evo Design 1200 with 2 burner hob, sink and 50L fridge. This matched well with the 120cm RIB bed and matching re-trimmed front seats in Black Leather feel with Blue Diamond Stitch. To save space inside the van, the customer opted for an underslung gas cylinder with BBQ outlet. A Loc8 door table was fitted into the sliding door, perfect for outdoor [...]

Tim brought his T6 to us for a front end facelift. We added Transporter HQ V3 headlights with DRLs, gloss black grills and lower splitter. As you can see from the pictures, the side bars had seen better days, so we replaced those with Trapezoid side bars. This certainly made a difference.

Kathleen & Peter came to us with their VW T6 Startline panel van through a recommendation from a previous customer. They wanted a full Sunset Campers Conversion carrying out.  Peter is over 6ft tall so we had to find a bed suitable for a comfortable nights sleep.  They came across the Cambee 118 Comfort bed, which is slightly longer than normal beds but still allowed access to the fridge. I think you will agree their van left us looking quite different.

Andy & Sally came to us with their T5 Kombi AKA “Betty” wanting a full Sunset Campers Conversion carrying out. After having the Betty reprayed it was our turn the make the inside look just as good as the outside. They went all out with the spec and I think it’s safe to say they have a very nice looking Campervan.

Rob & Becky came to us wanting some help in fitting two side opening windows and a mechanical health check. Well we are very surprised it managed to drive in to the workshop. The clutch was making a horrible noise and once dismantled we found it needed a new clutch and clutch release arm kit as it was completely worn out. After making a mechanical health check video and sending it to Rob & Becky, their T4 AKA “Susan the t4 van” needed new rear brakes, new rear springs, new front wheel bearing, new CV boots, new timing belt, new water pump and new auxiliary belts. They also wanted help with ply lining, carpeting, floor and a split charge system.

Elliot want his panel van to be converted in to a Kombi so he could use it as a family vehicle and still get his work tools in the rear. We fit 2 opening windows, sound deadening and carpeting throughout, Kombi seat and flooring and a rear bulkhead. We also fitted some Kiravans door stores in the rear doors and side door to give him more storage space.

Vince and Chris didn’t hold back on the spec or materials with their van conversion. This camper has pretty much everything you need to go camping on or off grid. What a stunning camper they have. It’s safe to say they were over the moon with the final result. Although, we were a little worried when we handed it over and they didn’t say anything for a while. I think the words are speechless.

Frank drove his brand new T6.1 in lovely Ascot Grey pretty much straight our workshop. He wanted the stunning Leighton Vans front chin & splitter with gloss black upper and lower grills, and a Leighton Vans rear spoiler fitted. He also wanted it lowering on Bilstein Komfort Coilovers, perfect with the 20″ Riviera Alloys which were already fitted. Inside the walls were carpeted in Anthracite with dark grey suede on the roof finished with Black flush fitting LED lights. To take away from the panel van look we fit 2 non opening windows and 2 fake rear quarters.
