I am Raul and my wife Kat, just joined this board. We had this dream to take the plunge into campers/ motorhomes, and got there in the end. We had a look at some dealers and seen what's on the market and decided that we will do our own conversion. So we shopped for a decent 1-2 year crafter euro6 trend line, LWB, High Roof, AC, Cruise, park assist, etc.
Then after some research, a massive 10k shopping list completed in less than tree weeks. Loaded it all up, and off to Romania, where we have a large ish garage/workshop and the conversion started. We had to finish in two months, as we had commitments to get back to. All completed within the time frame, less few cupboard doors, as we ran out of furniture board. I have under estimated by half board.
Its been a hell of a insight but fun, and I would do it again without hesitation. We wanted something that can be used all year round, low cost running, comfort and practical.
I hope we will meet with some felow like minded folk and share.

Just in case you don't know, you have five free posts in total, and then, should you wish to continue posting and viewing all the pictures and getting all the advice in the World for ANY problem or query on the best Motorhome/Camper forum, you will have to pay the annual Subs which stand at a misery £15. That's less than a bottle of Scotch (other spirits are available)

Oh! Welcome to Fun.

Welcome to the forum and 'self-build' world.

Please let's have some pictures of your creation. I'm always interested having converted five VWs in the past fifteen years.

Thank you all for the warm welcome.
I will add some of the build photos to the present state, on a separate thread.
Just as well we thought of having two windows on one side. DVLA wants this as per new regs. The graphics I will have to live with it.

Hi, and thank you for the appreciation. I'm sure there's many ways to skin a Kat, and we all have different priorities. I tried to highlight the main thing in the pics, and most of what we tried to achieve. I just wished I have done it a lot sooner. Got allot of catching up.
