Everyone told me I needed a bigger van, but my Berlingo is perfect for solo adventures. Fold-flat bed platform, pull-out kitchen drawer with camping stove, LED strip lighting, and enough storage for a week away. It fits in normal parking spaces, costs nothing to run, and I can stealth camp anywhere. Total conversion cost was just £1,800.
As a freelance developer, I needed a van that was genuinely a mobile office. My Transit has a dedicated desk with monitor arm, ergonomic chair, Starlink internet, and a proper coffee station. The fixed bed at the rear means I don't have to pack up my office every night. White walls and oak accents keep it feeling professional. I've been working from national parks, coastal car parks, and forest clearings for the past year.
We spent 6 months converting our 2018 Sprinter LWB into a full-time home. The build features birch ply throughout, a fixed double bed at the rear, L-shaped kitchen with gas hob and 12V compressor fridge, 200Ah lithium battery bank, and 300W solar. We've been living in it full-time for 8 months now and couldn't be happier. Total build cost came in around £12,000 including the van.
My Transit Custom is my weekend escape vehicle. Rock and roll bed converts in seconds, pull-out kitchen pod with single burner and sink, and loads of storage underneath for mountain biking gear. The grey and blue colour scheme keeps it feeling modern. Best £4,500 I ever spent on a conversion.
We designed our T6 around surfing. Pop-top for extra headroom, rock and roll bed with wetsuit storage underneath, surfboard rack on the ceiling, and a simple but beautiful kitchen with butcher block worktop. The teal and sand colour palette was inspired by the Cornish coast where we spend most weekends. Built over 4 months in our garage.
With two kids under 8, we needed a van that worked for the whole family. Our Ducato has bunk beds at the rear for the children, a full kitchen with oven and large fridge, and a fixed bathroom with shower. Light oak finish throughout keeps it bright and welcoming. The kids absolutely love it — we've done Scotland, Wales, and France so far.
I built my Crafter for serious off-grid living. 600Ah lithium battery bank, 600W solar array, Victron inverter system, Webasto diesel heater, and a 100L fresh water tank. The dark wood interior gives it a cabin-in-the-woods feel. I've spent 3 months wild camping in Scotland without needing to plug in once. The build took a year but it was worth every minute.
