Every day use being the priority, camping the fun part now and again

Van Conversions for VW Transporter, Ford Custom, Vauxhall Vivaro, Renault Trafic and More

This type of campervan was the inception of Mark1 Conversions and they continue to hold a special place in our hearts. Over time, our passion for these vans has only grown, and we’ve diligently honed our designs to provide exceptional campervan experiences.

The process of choosing the perfect panel van is a uniquely satisfying one. It’s the first step toward realising your dream campervan, and once you’ve found that ideal canvas, we take on the task of meticulously crafting a customised, functional, and cosy home on wheels.

If you’re having trouble finding your canvas (in this case, the empty panel van) we can help with this, just get in touch with your requirements.

But why opt for one of these vans for your everyday journeys?

It’s their versatility that sets them apart. They combine the agility of a car with the capacity of a larger vehicle. Some models even offer seating for up to six passengers, outclassing your typical car’s utility. Furthermore, their cargo space surpasses even the most spacious estate cars, making them ideal for daily commutes and weekend getaways alike. In essence, they are the embodiment of both practicality and adventure in a single vehicle.

It all starts with a chat, come in and see our workshop or arrange a phone consultation - we're here to help!

At Mark1 Conversions, we revel in the realm of creativity

While we’ve tackled numerous highly personalised projects, we’ve also learned which layouts work exceptionally well in vans of this size.

Your campervan is your canvas for self-expression. It’s your unique vision that shapes its transformation, and we are here to provide guidance and share our extensive experience.

If you’re contemplating converting your VW Transporter (T5 / T5.1 / T6 / T6.1 / T7), Ford Custom, Vauxhall Vivaro, or Renault Trafic into the campervan of your dreams, you’ve come to the right place. Mark1 Conversions boasts the expertise and passion to bring your vision to life.

Your campervan isn’t just a vehicle; it’s a reflection of your lifestyle, your adventures, and your aspirations. Choose us to embark on this journey, and experience the freedom and comfort that a Mark1 Conversion campervan can offer.

Lining Carpet: Colour Options

The beauty of having your van converted lies in the freedom to handpick every colour option. Whether you prefer a more conservative palette or want to unleash your wildest creativity, the choice is entirely yours.

Furniture: Laminate Colours & Finishes

When we quote for a project (unless otherwise stated) we use the SuperVA range of lightweight ply. As well as our standard range of wood finishes, we can use a special press to achieve virtually any finish you desire for your van.

Altro Flooring: Colours & Ranges

We use Genuine Altro Flooring. Our standard quotes use the Contrax range: We find that Earth is an amazing colour for a van conversion. It blends with many other colours, but more importantly, it is perfect for an outdoor life, it hides the dirt, grime, sand or whatever you throw at it, always looking good.
