Vauxhall Vivaro 1.9 CTDI LWB 2006 - £11,995 (ONO)

For sale is my Vivaro camper. This van was converted by me over the course of the previous year. I worked on the principle of converting, road testing and improving. The current offering is the final iteration of this process.

The Vivaro is a nonstandard conversion offering a truly unique climber van. I have travelled the crags of Europe in this van and it didn’t let me down once, moreover, I regularly received positive comments on the conversion from strangers and climbers alike.

The conversion is subtle from the outside for remaining covert, but inside it is unrecognisable form the builders van it once was. The layout is focused around a large corner sofa / bed that can seat 5 comfortably and provides ample storage beneath. There is also a fully functioning kitchen, and large half-height cabinet.

Below is a list of the vehicle and conversion attributes, I’m sure to have forgotten some things, so I have compiled a document detailing the conversion with loads of pictures and text: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1XIZtA8yzBiSW9xd0pESVp2RU0 .

Wow! Beautiful van!

In reply to chris_woodsy:

I can vouch for the comfort and cosiness of an L-shaped layout. We did ours the same way.

When I first looked at your van I was surprised you fitted the kitchen unit in lengthways; I was thinking "these guys must be 5' tall! The I spotted it's a long wheel base!

Nice van.

That is one beautiful conversion - I wish I was in a position to consider it!

In reply to chris_woodsy:

That is a nice job.
Thought of going into business, expand into the T5 market and make a hole into all those boring rock n roll conversions?

Very nice looking van!
