Fresh, high-quality campervan conversion completed in 2026 after approximately 400 hours of work. Built with a huge focus on quality, practicality and keeping weight down ā ideal for weekends away or longer off-grid trips.
š THE VAN
One owner from new before I purchased it in April 2026, with a full history file showing comprehensive servicing and maintenance throughout its life.
After purchasing it, I took it to a VW specialist for a full inspection and spent approximately £2,500 on preventative maintenance, including:
- Timing belt & water pump
- EGR valve
- Air-conditioning work
- Full service
I wanted the base van to be mechanically sorted before investing in the conversion.

- 40L underslung waste tank
- Trail King 30 PSI pump
- Fiamma expansion tank
- 15L / 2000W Flosta hot-water heater
šæ FULL SHOWER
Unlike many camper conversions designed primarily for short trips, this van features a proper 700mm x 900mm internal shower, making extended trips and genuine off-grid travel much more practical.
* Spacious 700mm x 900mm shower area
* Full-height waterproof shower panels
* Hot & cold running water
* Dedicated shower head
* Integrated lighting
* Roof ventilation
* Proper shower tray & drainage
* Space for a portable or composting toilet if required (photograph shows our current LooSeal Elite Toilet)
Combined with the 65L fresh-water tank, 40L waste tank, 15L hot-water heater, 400Ah lithium battery bank and 400W solar, this has been designed as a genuinely self-contained campervan, rather than simply a day van with a bed and kitchen.
*Toilet not included.*
š OTHER UPGRADES
- Reversing camera
- Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
- Cab-door alarm
- Deadlocks on sliding & rear doors
- Rear blackout covers included
šļø EXTRAS INCLUDED
I also have several premium touring accessories which are included.

- MoonShade lightweight awning ā Ā£550
- Sliding & rear-door mesh fly screens ā Ā£80
- Thule levelling ramps ā Ā£40

The van cost Ā£10,000, with a further Ā£2,500 spent on mechanical preparation and approximately Ā£14,000 invested in the conversion alone ā excluding nearly 400 hours of labour.
Really pleased with how this one has turned out. It's been built carefully rather than rushed, with particular attention paid to weight, electrical safety, storage and making the space genuinely comfortable to use.
Happy to answer any questions and can send additional photos/videos to serious buyers.
Priced at Ā£29,995 based on the condition, specification and level of investment in the build, so I'm not looking for offers at this stage.š
