Why are camper vans so expensive? Many viewers have commented that Van Conversions (Camper Vans) can command high prices, when it appears to the untrained eye that all a converter does is take a £20k van and plonk in a couple of windows, a sink and a sofa.
Actually, when you look at what goes into one, you'll see that camper vans are not that expensive after all - for what you get.
How DO you convert a van into a camper van?
Premium Van Convertor Vantage Motorhomes invited us along to their factory in Leeds, Yorkshire, to see how a camper van is made from start to finish. Vantage vans are ideal for those wanting all the comfort of a coachbuilt motorhome, with the small size advantages of a camper van. They are the perfect van when wishing to downsize from a motorhome.
When you see what goes into one, you'll see that their vans are some of the best value camper vans on the market in the UK.
00:59 We start off with a brand new Fiat Ducato Van, fresh off the transporter.
1:11 First stage is chassis prep. It's here the floor is fitted, the windows are cut out the side and roof of the van, and the electrical wiring is installed. All the van is insulated at this stage.
3:14 Next stage is 'tanking'. The entry step, insulated water tanks, and standard fit gas tank are fitted here.
4:03 Now we go through to the wood working shop, where a CNC Router takes care of cutting out all the pieces of the furniture, which is then carefully assembled by skilled cabinet makers.
6:12 Once the furniture is made, it goes out to the main workshop where it's installed in the van.
7:48 Finally, the van goes into the PDI area for the final touches to be added, and the whole thing is then scrutinised against an exhaustive checklist.
