sprinter conversion company
Updated: Sep 11
Lara had owned her adorable T5, affectionately called Pam,for a couple of years with the intention of converting it herself into thecamper she had envisaged as a kid. However little progress was made until shebrought it all the way down from Manchester for a Super Cool makeover.
Lara had a small budget and the design brief was that theinternal styling should be rustic. I found reclaimed pallet wood online for theceiling and the fronts of the cupboards. From Bristol Wood Recycling Centre Ibought planed, scaffold boards which would form the kitchen worktop. I came up with simple sliding door mechanism tosave space. The flooring is vinyl, which is good in so many ways. The scene wasset for the van makeover.
The van is fully lined with van carpet and vapour barrierwith as much insulation as possible. A 110AH leisure battery cleverly installedunder the passenger seat to save room. A diesel heater is installed under thedriver's seat again to maximise space.
The kitchen area consists of a small bowl sink and a doublehob burner with a small area for food preparation. The SMAD absorption fridgehas a generous 45L capacity, suitable for a weekend away, keeping your foodessentials cold. The cupboard under the sink/hob contains the 10L fresh and 10Lgrey water and gas cylinder enclosurehouses a Campingaz 907 bottle, satisfying the BS regulations for campervan gasinstallations.
The van has 2 USB ports and 2, 240V sockets which arepowered from mains hook up if she is on a campsite with electrics or if Lara isoff-grid then there is a 500W inverter which is big enough for her needs.
The van also has a Volt Sensing Relay to charge the leisurebattery when the engine is running and a mains battery charger. The RCD and MCBconsumer unit protects all the circuitry.
