VAN TOUR - VW Crafter Campervan - ULTRA:TWO 

Thank you for the positive comment! Really appreciate the sentiment, and glad it provided some use for you. Best wishes!

I fully agree with that…. So many walkthrough videos are either done by people who seem to have all of the facts but zero charisma or smarmy, polished presenters who are essentially RU-vid’s equivalent of a pushy car salesman. Your presenting style was absolutely spot on! I love the van, good use of space and lovely touches throughout. Great use of materials as well. Top job that!!

Thank you Pam! Glad you like it.. let us know if we can help with anything more. Take care.

Very kind, thank you. Appreciate the comment, we have more videos planned. 👍

Thank you sir! Very kind of you to say! 😊

Thank you sir. Very kind!

That’s very kind of you. Thank you 🙏

Thank you!

Thank you so much, very kind.

Very kind, thank you. We love what we do and are glad you’re also a fan.

So pleased you like it! Let us know if we can help further.. :)

Thank you!

Thanks! The daytime seating is the cab/bench seat.. or ideally, outside! ☀️

Thanks Janice. We were pleased with it, and we can create one just as lovely for you if you want to get in touch. 👍

Thank you sir!

Thanks for the comment! Pleased you like it.. plenty of our customers come up from Transporters, so maybe we can tempt you for a look in person?! As for the window trim, good spot! This van was 97% complete but was missing a few finishing touches, like the tambour door into the garage area, the table and that window trim which we apply a little heat to to allow the material to relax and smooth out. That said, it naturally relaxes with the heat from the vehicle over time so don’t worry, we got it (just not in time for the video!) 👍 Fancy a job in snagging? 😜

That's very kind of you to say, thank you.

You're too kind, thank you Barry. 🙂

Thanks Dan - we can work on left hand drive just the same as right, it just has to be built in the UK is all.. :)

We aim to please, thank you. 🙂

Us too! 😍

Merci pour ton commentaire gentil! Nous ne construisons que des véhicules jusqu'à 4 passagers/couchette pour le moment. Bonne chance dans votre chasse au van ! (Désolé pour la traduction, j'ai dû utiliser Google Traduction !)

Thanks Rocky. It's always trying to find the 'optimum' working with a small space. The overhead lockers need to be usable, but if they're too big they made the van feel claustrophobic and you hit your head on them as you lean over, as the Crafter tapers toward the roofline making it a little trickier! We feel this is a good middle-ground, but will keep it in mind for when we have a layout overhaul :)

.. and it would love to have you. 👌

Thanks James.. that’s very kind. We don’t do MWB at the moment, we find the LWB offers the best mix of space and practicality, so our designs all revolve around that wheelbase. Let us know if you require any further detail! 👍

@@ultravansuk random question but how much does one of your conversions weight when finished cheers

@@Jimmacdonald109 Approx 2.9t depending on layout, including half a tank of fuel. As they are 3.5t vehicles, that gives you approx 600kg of payload. 👍

Hi Linda.. sorry for the delayed reply! RU-vid isn’t showing our comments in order for some reason! We don’t fit a sink as standard, as the shower room is perfectly sized and a sink is just outside the door, but we appreciate some people may prefer a small corner sink in the room so it can be a no-cost option if required. 👍

Thanks Mark. We’d have to take a look at the measured cubic load of your three bikes, but essentially the space under the bed is about 1770mm front to back and approx 780mm high. We’re told bikes fit with the wheel removed, so depends on the size of your kit in reality. The third berth is by means of a double passenger seat up front instead of the single passenger (it swivels) for travelling, and sleeps on the bench seat which is a good size made up and uses the driver seat as a foot extension. See our website for the layout ULTRA:Three. 😊

Triple bike rack would be the simple solution. Then any 3/4 berth camper layout.

Hi there! We convert on the FWD chassis only at the moment, as the 4motion and RWD variants add 100mm to the internal floor height for the extra running gear. Our conversions offer a generous space even for taller people, hence we don’t want to lose this. The super high roof is a fibreglass roof and not metal skinned, so it brings its own challenges for the items mounted up there. As a result we stick to the FWD and ‘standard’ issue high roof only for now.. let us know if you need any further info! :)

Thank you! We build and sell in the UK, so are not able to retail elsewhere, but we can convert a LHD vehicle brought to us. 👍

Hi there - thanks for the comment. I'm not sure I'm following, but we only build vehicles on a VW Crafter chassis, so regrettably not best placed to answer. Our customers like the additional space and practicality afforded by a slightly larger vehicle, which is why we specialise in this sized vehicle. 👍

@@ultravansuk Thanks for the reply. I didn't know that. I'd still be interested in your opinion though. Just regard it as a thought experiment :) If you had to, could you?

@@apaul9776 Anything is possible with the time, design process and desire! Toilet space is a simple one and others already do.. shower would need something with a fixed lower half/tray but a flexible/adjustable top half to accommodate a lower ceiling/pop-top. Yes, it's doable with compromises.

Thanks Alf! The cost varies, depending on the base vehicle selected and any options you choose. That said, our standard conversion includes everything that most people need. Give us a quick call on 01256 520 200 and we’ll do some quick sums for you! 👍

I’m sure your T5 does the job beautifully Bob, but we’ll happily show you a different take on things if you’re interested. Solar is an option, as it doesn’t suit/isn’t necessary for everybody. It’s a relatively inexpensive bolt on to our generous standard kit. 👍

Sorry for the delayed reply! I’m afraid not, we only produce in the UK. Sorry.. 😞

I’m sorry I’m afraid we specialise in Crafters only. Are you sure we can’t tempt you to the VW side!? 😇

@@ultravansuk im not sure about the ground clearance and the few features i like in the sprinter if they can be available in the crafter/MAN-TGE, are you okay if we can do email on this then we see if it can work and if its possible.....?

@@BornventureGamba yes please drop us an email and we’ll get back to you (if we haven’t already!)

This is a LWB. 👍

Hi Daniel! Thanks so much for the compliment, we appreciate it - happy to discuss how we can build to suit you (and your budget!) give us a call and we can walk you through the pricing, as it can vary based upon your needs. 👍

Hi there! Thanks for the comment. Unfortunately that would stretch the configuration too much for our layouts. It looks like you're in the market for a 'race van' whereas these vehicles are primarily designed for two people (and maybe a couple of little ones) in ultimate comfort and luxury, hence this isn't a layout that we can accommodate. Apologies if that's not the answer you were hoping for.. 😊

Sorry Beatrice, we don't retail in any country other than the UK at the moment, I am sorry.... who knows, in a few years though, maybe.. :)

Hi there! It's the LWB (so the middle one, as the MWB, LWB and XLWB make up the range).

I’m afraid we’re UK only. 😢 (for now!)

I guess you’d have to test it out to be sure! 👍

Hi Paul! The price varies, depending on base vehicle spec and age, and customisation. It’s probably less than you think if you’ve benchmarked similar work from other conversion companies 😊.. happy to work it through with you if you have time to give us a call?

Around 60k$

HI Trevor - it's never good practice to put pricing into static comments on social media, not because of anything to hide, just because pricing changes periodically and it leads to wrong impressions for future readers. Give us a call or drop us an email and we can walk through our (very simple) pricing with you. Cheers!

Hi Richard. This particular vehicle was for sale for £80k inc VAT, however this was a cancelled order and sold very quickly. Give us a call and we can quickly work out an indicative price for you if you’d like to know more 👍

Thanks for your comment. Yes you can, it's a 3.5t vehicle - about 2.9t completed weight, with the remainder of the payload for you and your possessions. Hope that helps!

@@ultravansuk thank you! Yes does help as one day I’d love to own a motor home like this but will be restricted by the weight. I’m pretty sure to get a C1 license you glasses can’t be more that +8 diopters, so unless I got laser eye surgery one day I probably couldn’t get a C1 license

We're building on CR35 models, which is a maximum of 3.5 tonnes. Any full UK driving licence is okay to drive these, even the newer ones. 🙂

Hi there! Thanks for your comment. Assume you mean ‘hanging’ space? We choose to maximise living space, but it’s all about compromise. The joy of a conversion is that if this is important to you, then of course we could look to build something in to suit your requirement. Hopefully you found something else in the video that you liked. 👍

@@ultravansuk Thank you for replying; I appreciate that. I understand about compromise; I have owned four motorhomes over 36 years. I suppose that the kind of clothes young people wear these days, especially when on leisure trips, means that hanging space is not considered so important. Yet few, if any, "off-the-peg" motorhomes don't offer a place to hand shirts, jackets etc. This would be essential for me. I did like a great deal about this van - a very great deal actually. It looks splendid. I recently sold my coach-built Swift, thinking I would not have another van - I am now 70 and my Swift required medicals to renew my licence. However, I miss it and was thinking of a compact van conversion, but I think the compromises are too much for me so if I did buy again it would have to be a coach-built albeit a little smaller than my Swift. I see no advantage in buying a panel van which is almost 7 metres long. I might just as well buy a coach-built. Ideally I would get someone to build a van designed solely for one person, with a fixed single bed, decent shower room and a dinette type table I could also use for working - oh, and a wardrobe of some sort. But the snag is it would have no resale value!! Anyway, sorry to write so much. My first comment was brusque, borne out of frustration at the absence of a wardrobe, but, that aside, it looks a great van. Thank you.

We’ll have a better stab at getting the mix right next time Unplugged. If we can share any further media to help you see past my mug, only too happy to help.. 😊

We'll try harder next time. Hopefully you found some bits of the video useful. Thanks!

Hi there - pricing varies, based on a customer's appetite for options, new or used base vehicle, etc. That said, if you're in the market for a campervan and look around you'll see that we're actually on the lower end of the scale compared to most others with comparable spec and quality 👍

I don’t disagree with that Fergus! I’m no match for the beauty of the van. Get in touch and let us know which bits got cut in the edit that you’d like to see more of, and we’ll send something over for you that includes less of me.. 👍

🙃🙂🙃 ⬆️

@@ultravansuk hummer, how much then?

We can fit a larger fridge if required - this one is medium sized!

We’ll try harder next time.

@@ultravansuk Thank you so much for responding. Other than that your video was great. Keep it up guys. 🙏

Thanks for the feedback, we’ll try harder next time. Was there anything you liked?

You’re too kind.. although I’m not sure VW would agree. 😇

Cheers Maddog. We did show it on camera, just later on in the video. Agree it didn’t line up with original voice over and should’ve done. It’s all in the edit and we’ll work harder on that next time! 👍

Thanks for the feedback! Always nice to meet a fan.. be boring if we all liked the same things though, yes?

We'll try and do better on the next video.

Hi TJ - Thanks for taking the time to share your insight. I don't think you've contacted us for a price though? None the less, give us a call and we'll break down the costs transparently for you, so that you can see how much goes on the cost of the base van from VW, and the cost of raw materials in 2022 - I'd love your thoughts on how we can build them for less! Cheers!

As a cabinet maker who regularly works on van conversions for companies near me I can tell you that this van is not overpriced. This van represents excellent value for money with a quality finish and the guys at Ultravan are putting out a great van using top materials working with a premium base vehicle. Good luck to them I say and keep up the good work.

@@rabmcleod3508 Thanks for the really helpful comment Rab - anybody reading this cold would think you were affiliated with us in some way! (he isn't folks!) Really pleased that our difference comes across in the video, and that as an expert in your field you clearly know your stuff! If you're in the market yourself, get in touch and I'm sure we can help you out! Cheers! ~UV Team.

@@ultravansuk Do you have any vans for sale at moment?

@@rabmcleod3508 hi there! I think we’ve been in touch via email since you posted this, but to confirm, we’re building to order on a build allocation/slot basis, and don’t have any available stock. Apologies! Let us know if we can help further!

Thanks! First video.. I’m sure we’ll get better with the next one.

Hmmm must be a trick of the light Paul, we avoid bad finishes! :) I’ll take a look, however this van was 95% ready when the video was taken so could’ve been rectified if so. The table was also added after the video, but we’ll be sure to show it in the next one! Cheers for the feedback!
