One of the most basic elements of a conversion is the actual trim out. This involves removing any paneling that may be in the rear of the van, installing insulation within the bodywork and doors, fitting replacement ply paneling and then applying a final surface.

On the majority of the surfaces this is a specialty flexible carpet which has excellent soundproofing and thermal insulation properties; and of course it looks good too. On the door cards we use Santos Faux Suede which is manufactured for what they class as ‘severe contract use’, incorporating a stain repel finish. It looks great, is easy to clean and it’s very hard wearing; giving a tough but extremely up-market feeling to the panels. This material is continued on the roof lining (if there is no elevating roof) and on the underside of the upper bed (if a pop top is fitted).
