PVC VAN CONVERSION

[Sugar street]

Hi motorhome people. Question? Does anybody know a good quality van converter please. I have a friend who has bought a van and wants to convert it to motorhome standard.He can't do it himself. Distance not a problem. He has rung about but most are extremely unhelpful when he mentioned he is suppling the van. Thanks Steve

Platinum conversions in Gorseinon (South Wales) did mine over 4 years ago and I am still very pleased with it

Like many converters, their mainstays are VW T5/6's but mine is a Peugeot Boxer - I know they have done many other non VW's as well

Also, they were the only converter, locally to me, who were happy to install a Wallas XC Duo (combined diesel hob & heater) which was critical to my design

And yes, I supplied the van

There’s a company in Radstock, Somerset. Before ordering a PVC ‘off the shelf’, I spoke to them. Very helpful, happy for me to supply the van, but when I did my maths it worked out too expensive.

It was going to be £25k+ for the conversion, with the cost of the van onto. Waiting time for a building slot was 12 months.

I rang around 6 converters, giving my list of requirements, with a a rough plan of lay out. All went over our budget......by a lot.

We used S&L Motorhomes near Selby. We supplied the van and they built to our design. They are a family company who build to a very high standard and would definitely to use them again.

Ok... I would dearly luv to recommend the people who converted my van..
They only dealt in full size vans..Ducatos.. Boxers...Sprinters...Movano..etc but did IMHO a fantastic job.
They happily took your van and did what you wanted to it (within reason )
They did wot I wanted and I don't think they overcharged for the craftsmanship they achieved.

The only thing is that they seemed to have followen (sorry can't spell followen) off the radar and there is no sign of them on internet and their phone seems to be dead

Great shame because it was no scam.... I got my van at price I was prepared to pay and craftsmanship is faultless..

We used Young Conversions for mods to our Bailey when we needed them and the stuff they were doing was amazing....

Did not know Bailey did PCV's
So why would you need Youngs to convert your Bailey van ..
Got impression OP wanted someone to convert a van from scratch ... not modify a van to your standards because your van ain't to your liking

Hi Thanks for all your recommendations I have passed them on to my friend. He has bought a Mann TGE High roof LWB van.

Too long a story - Baily don't do PCVs' but the vans that were being converted in Youngs workshop were absolutely brilliant.
Just because I wanted the layout of my van changed to my liking and because of my medical issue doesn't preclude me from admiring good workmanship. The OP was looking for possible converters, I've recommended one, leave it at that.
