FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
We know how much care and attention goes into building your dream camper van, and that customers have lots of questions about the process and options. Below are some of the most frequently asked questions about vehicles and the vans which we convert into camper vans.
Do you only convert VW Transporters?
As well as converting VW Transporters, we also convert Ford V710 Transits (2024 onwards) and VW Crafters.
What weight VW Transporter is best to convert i.e. T28 T30?
For an standard camper van conversion anything above a T28 is the best option.
Can your convert a VW Kombi van into a camper?
Yes, no problem.
Can you convert my double door VW Transporter van in to a camper?
Yes, we can convert your double door VW Transporter van in to a camper van.
Can you convert my VW Caravelle in to a camper?
Yes, no problem. However, there is an extra charge of £1000 due to significantly more stripping of the vehicle being required.
How much weight can I carry in my van after conversion?
On a VW Transporter T28 with a standard 8ball 2 swb conversion you have about a 400kg payload; more on higher rated vehicles.
Can I register my VW Transporter as a motorcaravan?
No, the DVLA will not allow this. All you need to do is change the registration details with the DVLA to a van with windows and change the number of seats.
What are the speed limits of a converted van?
The same as it was when it was a van. 70mph motorway, 60 mph on a dual carriageway with the national speed limit and 50mph on an A road with the national speed limit.
How much does it cost to service a VW Transporter?
About the same as a normal sized family car.
Should I put bigger wheels on my van?
For the best ride quality we only recommend up to size 18”
Do you do vehicle repairs?
We have a VW repair specialist, Station Garage opposite to the 8 ball HQ.
Do you fit body styling parts?
No you need a car repair body shop for this.
Does it matter if the van has barn doors or a tailgate at the rear?
No that is personal preference and makes no difference to the camper van conversion.
Do you sell wheels?
No, but if you supply them we will fit them FOC when we convert your van.
How do I lock my camper from the inside without the alarm going off?
Use the button on the driver’s door to lock and unlock the van.
