Mercedes Sprinter Motorhome - Camper Conversion - Sussex - London & The South East,

This is a conversion that I (Jeff Scott, Director of Sussex Installation Team) did in 2010 - 2011 as a demonstrator with the view to offer the services to others. I did however choose to take another direction with my business and not offer conversion services.

I do still offer top quality installations of the smaller jobs, like those that are priced on this website, but sorry no conversions! I have chosen to continue to pay the extra monthly cost for web hosting of these pictures on my website as I have had great feedback from others who are going through the conversion process. They have thanked me for sharing the pictures which has led to them getting some ideas that have helped make their conversions better. All I ask is "If you have found this page useful, then please click the Facebook Share, The Google +1 and Tweet about it using the buttons at the bottom of the page."

If you are thinking about converting a van yourself or paying for a conversion then you might find the video and images helpful? My vans purpose is to carry windsurf and surf equipment and sleep 2 for either short half day trips to the beach, weekend to 1 week holidays and windsurf competitions or even to be lived in for up to 6 months of the year. The first choice was which chassis to use? There are many different vans out there and the Mercedes was decided on for it's head room, length, reliability, fuel economy and resale value when the vehicle is 10-15 years old. There was of course a budget although the target was to find a newer shape Sprinter below 40,000 miles, and in September 2009 this late 2006 van with 33,000 miles is ideal. The van was a crew cab and already had a window in the side load door and it had 6 extra seats in the back and a portaloo in a rear sectioned off area. These things probably made the van harder to sell as most trademen would have been looking for a straight forward panel van, but for me it was no problem.
