My Work

Jobs that have been through the workshop. I add to this as I go.

The finished van through the open rear doors: bed across the back, galley down one side, timber-lined ceiling.

Fiat Ducato, full off grid conversion

An empty Ducato turned into a van you can live in off grid. Shower, toilet, hot water, gas hob. Sleeps three.

See the job →Cable runs taped across the bare metal roof of the van before any lining goes on.

Ford Transit mk8, wiring in before the lining

Every cable in a campervan has to go in before the walls do. A Transit at that stage, with the solar already on the roof.

See the job →Looking into the Vivaro through the open rear doors, with the ply bed slats and units in place.

Vauxhall Vivaro, full conversion

A Vivaro converted from empty in birch ply. Galley, sink and water down one side. Off grid, sleeps two.

See the job →Looking into the van through the side door: grey stretch carpet on the ceiling and walls, with the painted floor still bare.

Vauxhall Vivaro, walls, floor and carpet lining

Stretch carpet on the ceiling and the walls, and the floor laid. Part of a conversion that is still going.

See the job →The bed folded flat across the back of the van, made up with a mattress.

Vauxhall Vivaro, rock and roll bed

An M1 crash tested bed fitted on its own. Plates made up in the workshop and bolted through to the vehicle underneath.

See the job →The finished van through the open side door: oak galley along one side, patterned blue and white tiled splashback.

Renault Master mk3, off grid conversion

A Master mk3 built to the same spec as the Ducato, with an oak galley and a tiled splashback. Off grid, sleeps two.

See the job →The finished blue VW Transporter outside the workshop with the side door open, showing the galley.

VW Transporter T6, off grid ski van

Built round one person and a pair of skis. Water, gas cooking, heating and a toilet, with the electrics to run it off grid.

See the job →Before: loose cabling running across the top of the battery with no fixing or routing, under the bed.

Electrical clean-up and rewire

A badly designed, dangerous system, stripped back and rewired with a lithium battery and the charging to match.
