- You WON'T BELIEVE these Prices - VW Transporter Campervan Conversions - Brand NEW Campers For Sale - Better Spec & Safer - DVLA Motor Caravan
Are these the best VW campervan conversion? Take a look and find out! These vans have all the features you could want (Expensive quality components, not cheap options) and more, making them the perfect choice for anyone looking for a high safety and high spec motor caravan.
With a DVLA registered motor caravan, amazing value and high safety ratings, these vans are the perfect choice for anyone looking for one of the highest safety and highest spec campervan conversion on the market. Take a look at these amazing vans and see for yourself why they're the best! I will explain in more detail in future videos, exactly why this matters, why its important and the rigorous testing process, these vans go through.
The van conversions are more comparable to the VW California Ocean as they are Whole Vehicle Type Approved.
NCC Approved
These are Brand New vans. The buyers will be the first name on the logbook, which is registered with DVLA as an M1 Motor Caravan. No grey areas with speed limits, no insuring your camper as a panel van and having trouble with a valuation. These are type approved.
The prices are crazy. Many vans being sold as "Ultimate van", "High spec" "top of the range" "Best camper van" "The best camper you can buy", however alot are just all show, with money spent on the exterior and a basic interior conversion. These vans use good quality components with RIB Bed, TUV Approved pop top with a Sprung Froli bedboard and quality mattress on top. Comfort and functionality on the inside. Exterior modifications can be done after purchase if you wish.
These campervan conversions are cheaper than a VW California Ocean, but they have the sliding door on the correct side 😉
I will be doing more videos on these conversions, detailing the safety aspects, how they have been strengthened (This part shocked me), why your crashed tested be MAY not be as safe as you think and also going through the options available during build and also after registration (as a camper on V5 logbook, how amazing)
Looking for a Brand New campervan, this may be the bet value for money and safest you will see.

It's a good package, but I'd encourage everyone to try out the new Ford Custom Nugget layout first. With the kitchen in the back of the Nugget, you can stand to cook whilst the pop-top bed is in the down position, and you can prepare food whilst 4+ people are seated around the table, because the're separate areas, it is really a very good layout. The kitchen work top is higher than the VW's so you're not bent over cooking.
I am glad that gou mentioned thus as I only learned about the nugget this week. I love the layout - especially with double sliding doors and a small loo at the back. I wish there was more stock and I need more insight into resale value.
Quality! Good to see honest, safe builds like this. Really wanted a Cali and nothing was getting in the way of that dream but I had to be honest - it felt like a car, was overpriced, and a bit soulless which is ironic considering the history. We thought the Birchovers were very good; safe and sturdy lay outs at a great price very much like these. I share your view - Couldn't believe the flashy 6.1 conversions at the show, some for over 90k! Yes there are lots of high end finishes and a market for it but generally, the conversion side will perform no better (which is the key factor). Lay out that works for you and safety is everything to start - you can pimp it up later ...
There is one particular van at the moment that keeps popping up on social media. Looks amazing from the outside, but the inside consists of cheap bed and cheap furniture. Why? They are selling campers, their showpiece should include everything of the best quality. Also seeing some of their vans up close, they are poor quality and they sell with big price tags. This isn’t a unique example though, I could name several companies doing the same.
Vans are so personal though, different buyers look for different things. There are equally many companies creating amazing vans with quality components, great craftsmanship and I would happily recommend, albeit none as well priced as these.
@@StaycationLifestyle I remember talking to a rep about travelling with a baby asking about isofix etc - he said that 'some compromises have to be made'. I thought yeah by my kids safety isn't one of them! We ensured our camper was NCC / Full Euro type and travel sets fully crash tested in a van.
Great presentation as always, I liked the leccy VW one also, keep 'em coming SL👍
Thank you. Plenty more coming 😃
I was gobsmacked at that price. I’ve been looking at at vans that were 20k more than that. That’s certainly food for thought. Plus it’s a motor caravan so you can drive at car speeds, unlike van conversions that have to drive at light goods speeds.
It’s actually much more than speed limits. Got a few videos explaining this soon. Safety is a huge aspect, which a lot of other vans just don’t have
WOW! THATS BLOWN MY MIND?
As a direct comparison to the more expensive, lower spec Campervans, which are panel van registered, not strengthened, not crash tested, not all meet gas regulation, it does seem incredible.
Yet people aren’t aware
@@StaycationLifestyleso if I’m interested, who do I contact please?
So after all the waffle it was more expensive than my brand new Transit custom capervan. You didn't mention the heated seats and quick clear windscreen like my custom, oh and it's smaller and has a smaller pay load. Will stick with Ford.
Do apologise for waffling. This will hold its value better though. Quite rare though to have a properly safety tested custom, there aren’t many 👍 Sound like you have a good van.
Doesn’t really matter what you drive, it’s all about the experience.
VW, Ford, Fiat, Mercedes each have there pros and cons
@Paul davies your right.... the exact same van as a vw from the same company was was £8000 more so that money saved and invested ( which it is ) makes the transit a cheaper option 😅
went to look at this camper this week its a bit basic surprised there is no BBQ point on the gas tank. all the spot lights work off one switch nr the sliding door could not find a way to turn off the lights individually especially the one above the bed..opening 2 doors to get stuff from the fridge would be a pain
the double sink cooker is very cheaply made the glass tops rub together so they catch and don't sit flush when open.
its best point is the pop top bed fantastic for a comfortable nights sleep.
the worse thing no handle to pull down the roof you have to pull the rope ties . good value if you buy the 90ps model at 50k but 63k for the 150ps DSG model is to much for a camper with such a basic interior. not that keen on gas heating either..
i have asked the question regarding the BBQ point, as that is something I thought would be beneficial. The double sink is the expensive SMEV, so surprised about that.
What you say is the worse thing, is actually one of the best things. Handles are fine if you are tall, (or stand on front seats) and are strong, but if you are not, handles are not good. The pulling of straps makes the pop top much easier to close than those with handles. It's actually well thought out. When you say basic camper, the components in this are all highend. I'm going to look into the lights you mentioned (however i know that the new model is different)
@@StaycationLifestyle when i say basic i don't mean cheaply built. just bland .
the dealer didn't know how to turn off the light above the bed without using the main switch near the sliding door.
i thought it was a Dometic hob and sink both the glass lids rubbed together so when lifted up they are not flush as one lid lips over the other.. basically the lids need a bigger gap between them..
the straps were quite hard to pull i think a handle is easier .they could fit one then if your short you could use either..
as i said great value for a budget camper
@@vanagon1966 yes Dometic is Smev, I will look at that and the current lights. It’s because the straps hold it in place for each tug rather than a handle which is either up or down (personally I prefer the strapless 😀) I get what you mean bland, but it’s certainly not a “cheap” camper. There are a lot of California parts within it, Victron electrics, Froli upper bed, RIB seat/bed, these are not what are in standard campers. I’m not 100% on the LPG heater either. I have some other questions on the conversion to which I am collating of “why did you do this etc”
Just subscribed to your channel. Great information it provides 👍 looking at getting a camper in the future. Can you recommend somewhere in Scotland that does this type of package? Keep up the good work 👍
You clearly know your stuff but you clearly arent a natural presenter so just get the info out & cut the waffle
I would defo want the led lights tho. It only do they look better they work better
That is a very good point, however many people opt for the Transporter HQ lights
A great clip! Any recommendations for garages that would, in fact, build the type approved VW camper? 50k is a bargain!
Where are you?
@@StaycationLifestyle Located in Finland. We don't get a service like this locally and so I thought to make a custom order to a garage in the UK.
Jesus christ that's expensive. Blown away price would be £39999 😅
Expensive? Have you seen the prices of other brand new vans?
I appreciate its a lot of money, but for a brand new conversion, this is very well priced.
I’ve just bought a 2019 T6 low mileage Transporter with DSG. I just installed a bed on slats with a memory foam mattress all,gear under the bed with a pull out case on ball bearing slides for cooking items..these are really nice but I,prefer roughing it a bit more just with basics..I like the huge bed as I’m 6ft 2” Also Ive taken all.ply off and insulated and sound deadened the whole van..very warm in Winter..I,prefer much more room than a camper van affords ….thanks for great video
That’s the beauty of Transporters, they are all individual and what suit one person doesn’t suit another. I really like this camper, however I like having a twin sliding so much, it might not suit me. Whatever I get next it will be DSG 😁
How do they tick all of the boxes to be classed as a camper van with the DVLA?
They are registered from day 1 as a camper. They are a type approved vehicle having gone through testing and meeting all the requirements for approval.
I guessed £50K 🙌
😀 Kinda made it easy to guess it was cheap 🤣
Been considering a VW camper van. I would prefer the Diesel heater and the Gas bottle in the vehicle itself. Standard Leisure battery a waste of time, may as well get a Jackery 3000. The fridge better if not front opening, so as to conserve energy. Is this auto as I must have missed that. Loose table, no thanks. I still think the stock VW Ocean at £70k is a better buy.
Why would you want a diesel heater and gas bottle inside?
Leisure battery being a permanent fit is good for running leisure circuits, lights, usb’s, heater etc. A portable power station is good for 240v.
I like the Cali also, but it’s personal preference/choice, although they start at nearly £75k now
@@StaycationLifestyle I just feel more comfy buying stock. They are built that way for a reason and they look smarter. I know they are more expensive, but if I was to do it, I would do it properly and buy a second hand one at £50k from a VW dealer.
@@whereveraway Yes can’t argue with that. Have you seen the Cali prices? They hold really well.
@@StaycationLifestyle They are £68k for new at Swansway motors liverpool. Take a look at their stock.
Great video your review was on the black one £64995 did the red one for £49995 have the same inside?
I sat in the black one (not £64,995, that’s another one) The one I was sat in was £62,995 (I think) and the only difference is the base van. Due to the type approval the internals are all the same other than the floor and unit colours. I will do another showing this is more detail, possibly this week. I actually missed out quite a bit of good info like the California vents for heater, a blackout blind dividing cab and rear, the toilet included. Looking forward to having the opportunity to “test” one 😄
How is it possible for it to be registered as motor caravan if it has a pop top. I've checked for mine. And it says pop tops are not accepted for that. Only permanent high roofs
It’s a type approved vehicle. It’s never been registered as a panel van. Not many converters can provide this, as a lot wouldn’t pass safety tests to do the higher speed limit
So, why not tell us who the conversion company actually is? Apart from one dealer in Devon - hundreds of miles from me and probably many others watching this, and which doesn't have ANY such "bargains" on their website currently - where do we get our hands on one of these?
When this video was made there was only really Tamar who were a confirmed dealer.
Also since the video was made, prices of base vehicles increased and the 90hp engine was dropped. I think the cheapest is now £53,995 (I think)
The converter is Bespoke Ni
Good price. Like the table idea. Very boring interior colour scheme. Still think it's best to buy a panel van and have it converted to your own spec.
Interior can be ordered with various colour options, units, flooring, seats, pop top canvas etc.
Yes you can just convert a panel van yourself, but if buying new, a type approved van really is a no brainer
where to buy this from?
Do you know the width of the lower bed please and the height of the van with pop top down?
What’s the price of the DSG Highline?
£62,995 for the DSG Highline with all the standard spec. They have a few others in stock which are a little more that have options fitted such as pull out awning etc. Until the recent VW price hikes they were much less.
Where can you go and see these campervan?
Tamar Caravan Centre in Plymouth. Where are you based?
It is a standard price. Don’t understand why it would blow anyones mind.
It’s not a standard price. The components in here are more expensive than others you are comparing them too. There are also very few other companies that can offer the same standards and a type approved vehicle
Do you have a link too this companies website. Thank you.
A UK retailer www.tamarcaravancentre.co.uk
The manufacturer is www.bespokeni.com however their website is very outdated as they don’t sell to the public. I understand a new web system is being created, but not released just yet
@@StaycationLifestyle Thanks very much
So where is this place?
These vans are at Tamar Caravan Centre in Plymouth
Do you happen the know the width of the bed in these please?
I believe it’s 112cm. I can check tomorrow, I may or may not be visiting to discuss me buying one 🙈
Thank you yes if you could find out that would be great 🙂 they're lovely
@@tracielawrence9310 They certainly are 😁
I guessing they have split charging too?
@@tracielawrence9310 yes they do. They have 12v and 240v power systems too, with solar preparation and a solar panel can be added if required
So what’s the company called
Bespoke in Northern Ireland. Don’t sell direct to public though. Available through Tamar Caravan Centre in UK
I am In tears after just spending £45k on a 2020 Kombi, albeit higher spec base van!
Sorry 🤦🏼♂️ To be fair, there is a big price difference in base vehicles, about £6k for Highline or £12k for DSG. Still, these vehicles won’t become the norm, as they aren’t mass produced like all the other converters charging big money, so your van will still be worth decent money.
You mention no units above the hob for good reason but didn’t tell us any more… Are there regulations about this? Or is this just caution for the obvious?
I have seen other vw approved conversions that do have these and they’re something we’ve been considering as we are currently looking to replace our T4 with a T6 which is why I ask?
It is due to the gas regulations, there is a minimum height between stove and units. Which approved van have you seen with units above?
I think the minimum height can be achieved using slim cupboards, we spoke with four of the five companies listed on VW’s website and two of them have a slim cupboard above the hob. There are also companies out advertising themselves as VW approved who are not part of the scheme.
@@user-gq9us6po1r The approved list on VW’s site is outdated. There are genuinely approved companies not listed on there. The accommodation approved features come via the NCC approval through compliance with HSE, Gas Safe etc.
Anyone buying from someone saying the are approved, when they aren’t will be able to see on the V5c. If it is approved their van will be a motor caravan, if not then they have been misled.
You wont believe this if you have £50.000 in the Coventry Building Society's easy access account paying 5.15%, you could earn £2,575.00 over a year that seems better.
Having £100k in there sounds even better 👍🏼 Although somehow I would still need a vehicle and a camper is a lifestyle choice, rather than an investment to earn money
Why is is still ugly and outdated. Can’t these companies try a little when designing the interior?
Everyone has different tastes. Although this looks plain, the materials are high quality, with solid work surface. However I do agree some are just awful and cheaply manufactured, yet sold as a high spec unit.
There are a few companies that have some different designs which may be more appealing to the eye, but they aren’t backed up with the safety aspects, type approval etc. Some being sold at much higher prices and have been subject to many cost savings, the average buyer doesn’t know/understand/care about
£50000
Close 🤣🤣
Can they do a LH drive version?
Good question, not sure to be honest. I will find out 🤷🏻♂️
@@StaycationLifestyle Would be greatly appreciated 🙏 we're in the market but spend most time on the continent.
Way way overpriced
Presume you mean the Transporter in general? They are more expensive to buy than other vans, however they hold value better than other vans. So over a period of ownership they can be cheaper.
They aren’t for everyone though. There are many pro’s and con’s
