Questions we hear a lot
Not answered here? Call Marc on 07496 009971.
Which vans do you convert?
Volkswagen, Ford, Mercedes, Renault, Vauxhall, Peugeot, Citroen and Fiat vans of every size, from a Caddy or Berlingo up to a long wheelbase high roof Sprinter or Transit. If you have something else, ask us.
Can you do just one job, like a roof or the upholstery?
Yes. We take on anything from a ply lining fit to a full camper conversion, including roofs, windows, lining, upholstery and electrics on their own.
What warranty comes with an elevating roof?
Every elevating roof system we fit comes with a 5 year warranty.
Can I choose my own colours and materials?
That is the whole idea. You choose the furniture board, worktop, fabric and stitching, and our embroidery machine can personalise your seats.
How do I get a price?
The best way is a visit to the factory. We go through every option with you and give you a concise investment plan for exactly what you want.
