Fully Insulated With Kingspan, Celotex, Customised Woodwork In The Entire Space Ford Transit.

ADVERTISEMENT

Fully insulated throughout with kingspan/celotex, including a vapour barrier on the floor, ceiling and walls, covered in pine cladding and birch plywood.

Full sized, very comfortable double bed, which slides in to form a three seat sofa with a massive under bed storage space, which also can be accessed via a cupboard door at the end. Can be divided to create two small single beds.

Twin burner hob with a 6kg direct-fill Gaslow Bottle, this lasted us over a month using it everyday, with plenty left in the tank, and it only costs about £6 to fill up from empty. You can get exterior filling points fitted pretty easily, but we found filling it up inside worked just fine. Includes some European adaptors which just screw on, really simple system and you can get them for pretty much every country. Gaslow have a great online map which shows you all filling stations in UK and a lot of Europe.

Carbon Monoxide detector sealed unit with 7 year lifespan, fire-blanket and fire extinguisher.

Small stainless steel kitchen sink and tap fitted with a Whale foot pump drawing from a 70L Fiamma fixed fresh water tank, with a small easily removable 10L grey water tank for emptying. This carries enough fresh water for a week easily for two people. It’s filled via a sealed and lockable inlet in the kitchen, via funnel or hose pipe. All of the fittings are food grade plastic.

Fiamma crystal roof vent, for air circulation and keeping it cool in the summer.

110ah AGM battery, fitted to a 120w solar panel all running a 12v system with one 12v outlet and 5&1 low power LED lights. There is a separate 240v hook-up installed via back door. We kept this a 12v system so far as it was more than enough for charging our phones and cameras ect. The charge controller was bought with the idea to add more panels and batteries, so the whole electric system can be easily expanded or changed.

Professionally fitted side window (with receipt)

The Van was converted over 6 months by us, all of the worktops are solid Beech, the kitchen counter is waney edge spalted Birch treated with Hardwax Oil, the chest at the rear of the van is chestnut and ash topped, and all the fretwork was designed and cut ourselves in maple and birch ply. Everything else is pine framed and cladded from our furniture building with a fair amount of Yew trim and detailing throughout, to which I am still adding when I have time. We focused on reusing good wood throughout, and anything we had to buy was always responsibly sourced.
