Tim's camper conversions:
| Bolt the Sprinter My current whip and converted over 2 years on the drive at home. A former mess van it had a semi-interior to strip out, reu-use various parts (electric components mainly) and refit as a 3 or 4 berth camper. |
 |
 |
Walt (from VOLT) Restored from a fairly rusty trades van, sourced in Lithuania, 3 years were spent crafting this beauty, mostly in a shared, rented barn space. A rare 4×4 (one of 1,250) Walt really was a labour of love. |
| Awe (he was awesome) The first family camper was a former glaziers van. He was built out on the road outside our terraced house much to the neighbours interest! Nicknamed the Archiemobile as Archie arrived in the scene shortly after the conversion and just in time for travels. |
 |
 |
The Landcruiser (never christened) Used for a 5 week honeymoon road trip the interior was simple but effective and facilitated a very special stage in our lives. Such a fun vehicle to drive. Double bed in the back over storage. |
| JJ (the Hanomag Henschel) 1994 and a 5 month road trip round Europe followed the (re)conversion of this former motocross van. Converted on my parents drive I learned how everything worked by taking everything apart and then extending it into a rear bed and shower room. This sparked my lifetime of roaming. |
