Transit Custom Campervan Conversion - SWB crew cab to 4-berth campervan

[@equipeoutdoors]

I just bought a 2014 eTech for £2k today. Decent service history on it and it’s a crewcab. Just going to shelve out the rear storage section for our climbing and biking gear, and then put a drop down kitchenette into it as well.

Hi what were the blue clamps on the solar panel? Is the panel bonded to the roof and the clamps removed once secure?

[@transitcustomcampers]

Hi Chris, yes, the solar panel is bonded to the roof, the blue clamps are removed once the bond has cured.

I hope you don't mind me asking, but I'm converting a SWB crew van but not fitting a pop roof. Have you ever done one, and how do you finish the interface between ply roof lining and front seats roof interior...? TIA, Martin.

[@transitcustomcampers]

Hi Martin, the easiest way is to create and carpet an infill panel from ply. That can be attached to the ply on the roof and to the trim at the B Pillar. Not sure if we have a photo I am afraid.

@@transitcustomcampers Many thanks for your advice. I was thinking something similar butchering the old rear cab roof liner and carpet that. Only issue the large depression for the coathook fixings :(. Thanks again. (Sending an order for a diesel heater your way soon)

What would be a rough cost for this conversion?

[@transitcustomcampers]

This particular van, with the diesel heater & awning was around £13500. A SWB conversion starts at around £12000
