it's very easy when you first start thinking about a campervan to assume that the vw transport is the only gig in town.

i know because i've been that soldier.

we went and looked at a local dealer who had converted vw vans and realised that they were a) too expensive and b) needed the bed made every night.

as i looked into it more and more i realised that the likes of vw crafter and fiat ducato allowed a fixed bed across the back, which was an absolute red line of a requirement.

i was going to convert a van myself but ended up with someone else's build on a 2012 fiat ducato. needed some additional work, but it's now nearly how we want it.

Hi not sure what sort of year van you are looking for ? I have just returned to camper van after a break…saw my Friends older Autosleeper and loved it, so just purchased a 2001 Autosleeper on a Ford, bought from Camper Nerd on you tube (Antony Valentine) might be worth you looking at some of his videos very helpful guy.
