Selection of Equipment & Base Van
The equipment was selected after (intensive) research. There are many options available
for some items, and just a few sensible options for others. In each case, the criteria was
for selection of the best unit for safety, design, compatibility and finally looks.
The reason there are 'only' two side windows is that for functionality, this was deemed the
best option. If windows at the rear are fitted, one is completely blanked anyway and there
is a significant reduction in the insulation and sound deadening properties., especially if the
camper is used in colder weather when with the Pop Top down.
This selection was irrespective of price as the time and effort required to do the conversion
was considered too high to compromise on this selection. During research it became clear
that many converters use inferior equipment, especially on the electrical parts. The
detailed equipment is as follows:
Evo motion design furniture in lovely blue denim finish (HPL) with top quality fittings,
drawers, cupboards and sliding Tambour door
Skyline pop top roof with lift up Bifold full adult twin bed, high quality material, zip
windows with two vents
Sliding 112cm Rib Altair bed system (this is a clear market leader used by all top
converters)
The Rib bed moves 220mm giving more room in the seating position. During travelling
the bed can be forwards or backwards giving more options for storage
Kiravans double front seat swivel (the best)
Silver Vitrifrigo Fridge C51iH..the most efficient and quietest fridge with small freezer
compartment, left opening for easy access
Dometic 9722 combination sink and twin gas hob with electric water pump and tap
switch
Top quality insulated 15mm marine ply floor covered by Altro cloud blue top quality
vinyl flooring
12V LED lighting with 95AH Leisure battery
Sterling B to B for start/stop/regeneration charging system
240V electronically controlled charging system (30 amp)
Full main control panel with both Leisure battery indicator + Vehicle battery indicator,
