Featured Van: Sheryl’s Ford Transit Campervan Conversion
When Sheryl decided it was time to build her forever campervan, she knew exactly what she wanted. An experienced vanlifer with a clear vision and keen eye for design, Sheryl teamed up with us to bring her Ford Transit conversion to life. From a unique aesthetic to clever storage solutions and personal touches, here's how we crafted a space that perfectly matches her style and needs.
A few of our favourite things about this Ford Transit Campervan Conversion:
Sheryl’s Aesthetic
Sheryl’s campervan conversion was all about achieving a distinctive and personal look. She had a clear aesthetic in mind—think custom tiles, herringbone-style flooring, and a specific colour palette. Using Plytech’s Premium HPL, we curated a combination of colours that hit the mark and matched her vision to perfection.
Storage Solutions
For someone vanlifing full-time, space is at a premium. Sheryl’s design included a retractable L-shaped seating area that easily converts into a bed, offering both comfort and functionality. This smart layout ensures that every inch of space serves a purpose, making the most of her living area.
We also focussed on immediate storage solutions, including top cabinets and kitchen drawers that provide easy access without the need to move things around. A tall cabinet was incorporated to keep clothes on hangers—a luxury in a campervan! These thoughtful storage solutions make life on the road practical and clutter-free.
Custom Things
Custom elements were key to making Sheryl’s campervan truly hers. We designed and built open shelving tailored to her needs, allowing her to store and display her belongings in style. A custom cab divider door was installed for maximum stealth camping capabilities, giving her the flexibility to park and blend in discreetly.
Full Time Living Systems
To support full-time living, we equipped the van with an Ecoflow power kit featuring a 3600W inverter and a 5kWh battery. This powerful setup ensures Sheryl can stay off-grid for extended periods, powering her appliances and electronics easily.
Sheryl’s forever van is a beautiful blend of personal style and practical design. From the bespoke look to clever storage solutions and custom features, her new home on wheels is a perfect reflection of her vision and needs. Here’s to many adventures and cosy nights in her custom-built van.
