What are some things to consider when converting a van into a camper?

There are a number of things to consider when considering camper van conversions, and as camper van specialists, we’d love to assist you in these various different areas:

• The Size of the Van - The first decision when approaching camper van styling or camper van customisation. This is because the size of the van will determine how much space you have to work with, and how you should approach the task. If you have a small van, you will need to be more creative with your space planning.


• The Features You Want -There are a variety of features that you can add in during camper van conversions, a camper van restoration, or during general camper van customisation. For obvious reasons, kitchens, bathrooms and sleeping spaces are high on our clients’ wish lists. Consider what features are important to you and what your budget is, as many a Worthing resident has gone overboard, and end up bloated or just uncomfortable to get around.


• Your Budget - Converting a van into a camper can be a costly project, as can some of the more extreme camper van conversion projects we take on. Set a budget before you start planning so that you don't overspend; expressing budget concerns to your camper van specialists of choice can help you make discerning omissions, which can always be overturned later down the line via our camper van customisation services.


• Your Skills - If you are not handy, you may want to hire professionals to handle camper van conversions or a camper van restoration - like Camperworx near Worthing. However, we’d be lying if we didn’t say there were fantastic, DIY jobs we’ve seen people complete. Though it is much harder than it often looks, and bona fide camper van specialists are likely to knock it out the park, with everything from under the bonnet work to camper van styling (interiors, paintwork, etc.)

Some of the most common Volkswagen T5 Transporter repairs and T6 Transporter repairs we undertake for Worthing clients, include:

• Electrical Repairs - The electrical system in these vehicles can be complex, and problems can arise from a variety of causes. Common electrical T6 Transporter repairs include repairs to the alternator, starter, and wiring harness.


• Suspension Repairs - The suspension in the T5/T6 Transporter is designed to be comfortable, but you’ll soon notice it begins to show its age; you’ll be in for a bumpy ride!. Common suspension orientated work - covering both T5 Transporter repairs and T6 Transporter repairs - include an attentive look at struts, shocks, and control arms.
