FAQs

What is included in the Kits?

The campervan conversion kits contain ply panels, table leg and all the hardware to construct a two berth camper. For an additional cost you can also purchase floor panels, plumbing, electrical, squabs, curtains or self containment certification.

What type of board do you use?

We use 15mm high quality birch plywood which is stronger  and more durable than alternatives. For extra durability we recommend painting or staining the ply either before assembly or after installation.

What tools do I need? 

You will need a screwdriver, either hand driven or electric.

How long will it take to assemble the Base Kit?

It will take someone experienced at working with tools 3 to 4 hours. However we say take your time and complete the installation across a weekend.

How do I fix the Base Kit to the floor and walls of my van? Are the fittings provided?
