VW Transporter Van Conversion Designs

Introducing our latest VW Transporter van conversion designs… The Avalon and the MandalayMAX.

We’ve been working on a few VW Transporters recently for customers and are proud to say that we really feel we’ve perfected our latest design, which we’re naming the Avalon. The Avalon fits perfectly into a short wheel base Transporter, but if you like this design we could work with you to fit in into any other small to medium sized base vehicle.

We also recently fitted out our classic Mandalay design (our most popular layout) into a long wheel base VW Transporter. We’re pleased to say that we really maxed out on the functionality, storage and extra features with this build, and so we felt this design also needed a name upgrade: the MandalayMAX.

Whether you’re escaping the city for short weekend breaks or taking longer trips off the beaten track, these designs are practical and comfortable for solo adventurers, couples or small families.

Customisable interiors

With a Love Campers van you’ll get a tried and tested core layout in one of our official designs, which we can then tailor to your own personal taste. We know how important it is to have a customisable design so you can give your campervan interior a ‘personal touch’.

We love seeing the finishes our customers choose as it really makes each van we build look totally individual. The atmosphere inside a van can be completely transformed with a dark or light wood, or a brightly coloured upholstery fabric. Even the choice of flooring can make a huge difference to the overall feel of the van.

In the designs below, remember that you’ll be able to choose the colour scheme, fabrics, wood finish and other interior design elements.

The Avalon

The Avalon below has been finished with the customers choice of vibrantly coloured yellow upholstery, lightly coloured wood and sleek silver popper handles. We love it!

This Avalon design layout works well as a VW Transporter van conversion in either a long or short wheel based vehicle. It comes with a poptop roof, five belted seats and up to 4 sleeping berths with the use of an optional roof bed.

This conversion offers everything you could have in a larger conversion, including an extra-long bed. We’ve come up with a new design of bed which we’re very pleased with as it packs away so speedily and smoothly. It’s a long bed as well so it’s really comfortable for taller people.

THE AVALON VW TRANSPORTER CAMPERVAN INCLUDES:

  • Elevating roof with a choice of canvas colour
  • Unique pull-out bed
  • Insulation and carpet-lining
  • Vinyl flooring (choice of style)
  • Leisure Battery and B2B system
  • 240v hook-up
  • Hand-built wooden furniture (with a choice of finish)
  • Solid wood work surface
  • Storage cupboards, shelving and drawers throughout
  • Gas hob burner / sink combination
  • Dometic fridge

The MandalayMAX

This long wheel base VW Transporter was a real joy to convert. We used the layout of our classic Mandalay design which features a pull out rocknroll bed, but we packed it full of storage solutions such as pull-out and sliding cupboards, as well as shelving.
