I have been converting a Transit Van into a camper and unfortunately cannot afford to take the project further.
I have insulated the floor, walls and ceiling in the back, including laying the floor and panelling the sides. Installed a roof vent and bulkhead window. Had the locks changed and general maintenance including new battery, brake pads and discs and full service at Halfords in early 2021. It also includes a spare wheel.
I took the van for another service and MOT after hearing a bearing and it needed a mirror repair, the cost is sadly too much for me right now - I have the full list from the garage below, they quoted £1,200 for everything.
This van is perfect for someone looking to start a camper project - I have done all the mucky jobs and bought all the obvious replacements, such as battery and brakes. If someone is willing to change bearings themselves, play with headlights etc. then they will get a great project van for little cost.
I am looking to minimise my losses and sell the van for £3,200. I was intending to keep the van, so I have taken a lot of care with all the work on it.
