Conversion Details:
The equipement selection was made irrespective of price as the time and effort required to do the conversion was considered too high to compromise on this. During research it became clear that many converters use inferior equipment, especially on the electrical parts. The detailed equipment fitted is as follows:
- Skyline pop top roof with lift up Bifold, (so that it moves completley out of the way), full adult twin bed, high quality material, zip windows with two vents
- Evo motion design furniture in lovely blue denim finish (HPL) with top quality fittings, drawers, cupboards and sliding Tambour door
- Sliding 112cm Rib Altair bed system Crash Tested Bed & Fitting (this is a clear market leader used by all top converters and it has an aditional strengthening beam underneath)
- The Rib bed moves 220mm giving more room in the seating position. During travelling the bed can be forwards or backwards giving more options for storage
- Kiravans double front seat swivel (the best)
- Silver Vitrifrigo Fridge C51i…..the most efficient and quietest fridge with small freezer compartment, left opening for easy access
- Dometic 9722 combination sink and twin gas hob with electric water pump and tap switch

This camper project had these design aims:
Safety & reliability
Driveability and efficiency
Ease of use and convenience
Ease of maintenance & repair
Attractive and tasteful interior
These criteria are also ranked in the above order. This means that safety and maintenance overrides the final attractiveness.
In extensively researching this project, this is the opposite of most camper vans that are offered for sale by professional builders.
The manual explains the use and maintenance and in doing so provides an insight into the design issues and design faults of standard equipment that all VW camper vans use. Please note that it is copywrite and cannot be used except by the purchaser of the campervan.
