The very cheap heaters sold online work, but they are not built to the same standard of fuel metering, exhaust sealing or control, and we sell both with that stated plainly rather than pretend there is no difference. Conversions are heavy. Batteries, water, furniture and insulation can add 500 to 800 kg, and a van that starts at 3.5 tonnes gross can end up overweight before anyone has packed a bag. Every listing states its weight, and it is worth weighing the empty van at a public weighbridge before the build begins. Tell your insurer about the conversion as it progresses, not afterwards. Since 2019 the DVLA has been strict about reclassifying vans as motor caravans on the V5C, and most specialist insurers will cover a converted van as a camper whatever the V5C says, provided they know what is in it. We supply and fit camper conversion parts for panel vans, and we build and live in our own. We are not Ford, Mercedes-Benz or Volkswagen and are not appointed by them; the van names describe fitment. Everything here is chosen for vans that get used all year, including the British winter, and we say plainly where a cheaper part would do the job.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich version to buy\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eParts Only is the parts delivered with our wiring diagram or fitting notes, for a self build or your own installer.
