Converting a Shuttle to Camper - advice please

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi there,

I have been the proud owner of a LWB 57 plate Shuttle for the last couple of weeks, and I purchased it as I want to convert it over the next few months, in time to use it to camp for next year.

I wondered if anyone had any conversion photos of their own Shuttles/Caravelles that they have had done which has retained the interior, rather than stripping it all out and carpetting it.  

I could like to have a 3 seater crash tested R n R bed installed, with some kind of camping unit fitted.... wondered if it was possible to have a slimline unit and still fit the 3 seats in ..

Also, as all the vents are in the roof, if I decided to go down the route of a pop top - how have people found this ? Has it made it very expensive etc?

many thanks in advance !!!

	Hi, I was getting prices of around £7/8 k to have a poptop roof in my caravelle and to retain the air con for the rear passengers, decided it was too much to spend and sold the van to my bro in law.

	Thanks - its not the end of the world if I don't do the roof to be honest... Suspected it would be silly money - wonder what it would be to have it done and just lose the vents.... Cheers
