The outside is just as important. We take vehicle styling seriously. From awning rails to wind-out awnings. To ladders, spare wheel carriers and bike racks. We've got you covered.
We build into both the VW Crafter MWB Camper layout and the LWB VW Crafter.
The VW Crafter is an excellent option for people seeking a more extensive campervan conversion. The crafter is available in various engine sizes and roof heights, making it a good choice for different campervan layouts. Available in both long wheelbase and short wheelbase.
The Volkswagen Crafter Campervan base vehicle is available in three different roof heights - low, medium, and high.
Low-roof crafters are best suited for city streets. They have a maximum capacity of around ten cubic metres. However, you must ensure you can stand up inside the vehicle.
Medium roof crafters are more versatile and can be used for city driving and longer trips on the open road. They have a maximum capacity of around 12 cubic metres.
High-roof crafters are the largest option, ideal for long-distance trips, and give you the most internal space. They have a maximum capacity of around 15 cubic metres. Remember you won’t be able to park in some places with a high roof.
Regarding engine size, the crafter is available with a 2.0-litre engine, offered in both petrol and diesel versions. You can choose between 108 bhp, 134 bhp, 141 bhp and 161 bhp. We recommend going with at least the 134bhp engine for a campervan conversion. The Crafter is available with either manual or automatic transmissions.
Because they’re under 3.5 tonnes, they can be driven on a standard UK driving licence - you don’t need to take an additional test.
Like all Volkswagen van models, the Crafter comes in 3 trim options; Startline, Trendline and Highline.
Designing your van layout can seem overwhelming. There are loads of things to take into account. There are a few tools online that can help you with this. However, we recommend heading to one of the many campervan shows throughout the year.
If you’re a total noob, consider hiring a van for an evening. You can’t beat using a camper (even for one night) to clarify what you want. Some key elements to consider are:
If you plan on doing a lot of camping, consider a layout that includes a permanent bed, which means a bed that doesn't need making up each night. This way, you won't have to set up and take down your bed whenever you’re ready to sleep. Permanent beds also tend to be more comfortable than temporary beds. The RIB bed, made specifically for campervan conversions, is an option to consider.
Ask yourself what kind of meals you want to cook. Are you just going to be making breakfast and then eating out? Or do you want to eat most of your meals in the campervan?
Don’t just think about how many beds you’ll need. You might be planning on using your van for an extra vehicle. VW Crafter Camper 4 berth is probably the most common layout. It’s not unusual to have a four-berth camper with five seat belts for when you need the option to carry additional passengers.
It's best to answer these questions before you start looking for VW Crafter conversion companies. That way, you don't get swayed!
This may seem trivial. However, some blind systems can be expensive. If you want cab blinds permanently installed in the cab, these can cost around £1,000. These are much cheaper if you're happy to go with external or internal thermal blinds.
There are loads of decisions to make when converting your VW Crafter. Standing in the back of the empty van shows you just how much space you have to play with! Whether you're looking for a Swamper, Overlander or a VW Crafter luxury campervan. The main decisions you need to make are:
If you're considering converting your VW Crafter into a camper, you must invest in the right parts to make your dream a reality. Fortunately, many conversion parts are available on the market specifically designed for the VW Crafter.
There's a wide range of options, from essential items like insulation and side flares to luxury features like solar panels and pop-top roofs. As well as a wide variety of VW Crafter off-road accessories for people looking for a 4x4 look.
Some popular VW Crafter custom campervan accessories include swivel seats, VW Crafter camper conversion kits, or convertible beds. Whether you're a seasoned camper or a first-time vanlifer, investing in the right parts is vital to creating a comfortable and functional space that meets your needs on the road.
Pay attention to the importance of VW Crafter alloy wheels and tyres when upgrading your van. They may seem like an afterthought, but choosing the suitable alloys can make all the difference in achieving your desired aesthetic.
Think about suspension upgrades. Do you want to consider Air Suspension, Coilovers or Lowering Springs? This can be a considerable extra cost on a build.
Consider this crucial aspect of your vehicle before the last minute. Take the time to select the perfect set of alloys that complement your van's style and enhance its performance on the road—one of the essential parts of Volkswagen Crafter styling.
If you’re in the market for a campervan, it might be tempting to convert it yourself. The VW Crafter is a large van that lends itself naturally to conversion. Best of all, it can be done relatively quickly and affordably if you're willing to do it yourself.
If you plan on doing the conversion yourself, there are a few things to remember. Make sure you have some internal space that can fit the van. It’s hard to convert when you’re battling the elements. Especially during the aspects of the build where you alter the van's exterior. For example, windows, skylights and vents.
Don’t forget to shop around for your conversion parts. You’ll often find good deals on second-hand items. This includes everything from carpet lining and flooring to cabinets and appliances.
If you think it will take you six weeks…double it! If you convert the van on weekends and evenings, this build could take a long ol’ time. We suggest starting at the beginning of Autumn, meaning you might have it finished by Spring. Even more, reason to have some inside space!
If you're the proud owner of a VW Crafter Camper, you'll know that it's not just a van; it's a home away from home. You’ll need to ensure you’re looking after it in the best way possible.
If you’re looking for an adventure-filled life on the open road, a VW Crafter campervan could be your perfect vehicle. With all the comforts of home and plenty of space to stretch out, you’ll never want to return to life before your camper.
