Sometimes it’s the simple things that count.
Here our customer wanted somewhere to put their head down, and a comfortable space for their dogs to put theirs down too. 💤

The sliding bed unit was supplied by the customer, which we treated in house with hard wax oil. We carpeted, ply lined and insulated the whole van - then created the bulkhead in the back for the pooches with an accessible gate. 🐶

What an upgrade for this Bay Window!
Out with the old pop top, and in with a brand new, more spacious one! 👌
Currently being restored elsewhere - this was brought to us at Volks for the installation. The new pop top keeps the classic look that is known and loved world-wide, but gives a lot more space when raised.
What an absolute pleasure to work on this van which no doubt will look superb when finished! 🤙

First big job of 2025 - completed! ✅
This Boxer came to us just before Christmas - with the holiday period came time out of the workshop, but January we got stuck in!

Our customers love camping and boating. We fitted a roof rack so that their canoes can be safely stored, a custom wardrobe for wetsuits and lots of under-bed storage. 🛶

Able to comfortably sleep 2 people, they can keep warm with the heating facilities, cook a decent bit of dinner and store a fair amount of drinks/cold essentials in the 65litre fridge. 🥤

Have a look through the pictures and tell us what you think!
Full write up of the conversion can be found in the comments 🤙

Here’s one we done before Christmas!
This short wheelbase Caddy came to us partly converted. We were given the task of fitting a pop top and some basic electrics.
An AGM battery hidden behind the passenger seat, usb and hook up! 🚐 🤙

Thinking of a pop top? Choose from a variety of colours of canvas and a black, white or colour coded roof.

We don’t just do full conversions. If there’s something you fancy added to your already converted van - send us your query!

Work van, or daily driver? Both!
This customer wanted their factory fresh T6.1 to have the convenience of a clean day van in the front and a work ready van in the back.
We boxed in the back ready to house the work gear, and carpeted the bulkhead to keep the front looking smart. We built in a hatch too for easy access and any long items that may need to be transported.
Enjoy some before and after pics! 🤙

A customer was planning on doing their own self-build campervan, but wanted us to do the initial wiring before they started.
They supplied all the parts, we worked our magic and now they have the perfect base to carry on their project. 💡

This electrical setup will allow them to add all the necessities like lighting, usb sockets, tv, fridge and more. It’s all powered by the 100amp lithium Fogstar battery which is connected to two solar panels, a dc to dc charger to charge while driving and the hook-up point. 🔋

This VW T4 came to us with a faulty solar panel. It was delaminated for a few months then stopped working altogether. The panel had been bonded on the pop top so we had to slowly prise and cut this panel off carefully not to damage the roof.
The customer opted for a rigid Victron solar panel which was connected back up to his original Victron solar controller.

A job from last week proved testing. We have a SWB VW Caddy with VW Touran rear seats.
We were set the task of making these seats fit with the quick release bases. This required dropping the fuel tank, exhaust and spare wheel. It’s a good job we had a ramp to get under the van!
