Ford Transits are probably the best known of all vans and can be bought fairly easily and often to the size and engine size you want – which does make them popular conversions. At Love Campers, we specialise in converting Ford Transit Customs into luxurious and comfortable campervans tailored to your specific needs.
A Love Campers conversion will always include a fully equipped kitchen, luxury upholstery and wooden or laminate furniture hand-built by skilled carpenters. We will install full camper facilities including insulation, electrics, water tanks and everything else you will need in your van for optimal comfort and functionality.
Despite being made by different manufacturers, many vans are built on the same base. The only differences lie in the branding and trim. In the case of the Ford Transit Custom, the VW Transporter is essentially the same van.
Ford E-Transit Custom and Hybrid Ford Transit Custom
We’re excited to extend our campervan conversions to the Ford E-Transit Custom and Hybrid Ford Transit Custom. These newer models keep the same classic Transit design, but offer lower emissions travel for the eco-conscious.
The Ford E-Transit Custom has a range of 163-204 miles. This would make it eligible for the UK government’s plug-in van grant, offering a discount off the purchase price. The Hybrid Ford Transit Custom’s electric-only driving range is up to 23-35 miles
Built on virtually identical platforms, the VW e-Transporter and VW E-Hybrid Transporter offer an alternative to the Ford Transit Custom. If you’re considering purchasing any of these vans as a base for your campervan conversion we’re happy to advise on the best option to suit your lifestyle. If you’d like to learn more about your electric campervan options, please fill in our enquiry form.
Why the Ford Transit Custom?
- Ford Transit Customs are very similar to the popular VW Transporter, but are usually cheaper second hand (although they don’t hold resale value like a VW)
- They’re the UK’s favourite van and for a good reason – Ford vehicles have a reputation for being reliable
- The Transit Custom’s compact size and manoeuvrability make it suitable for both urban and rural environments, ideal for first-time campervan owners
It may be worth having an initial chat with us at Love Campers so we can help determine the optimal wheelbase option for your requirements. Longer is not always better, particularly if you are going to be having a lot of off road or mountainous adventures!
We also offer conversions on the VW Crafter and Mercedes Sprinter. If you’re after something a bit smaller you may be interested in our VW Caddy or Transporter conversion packages.
