We will allow you to part exchange most vehicles with a valid MOT. This is not restricted to any specific manufacturers or vehicle types, we are happy to consider any vehicle that you own.
VW Transporters offer strong reliability, durability, and good resale value, making them a sound investment. Their versatility for commercial and camper conversion use, along with superior build quality and performance, justifies their initial price. Despite a higher upfront cost, their longevity, utility, and robust demand ensure a worthwhile ownership experience.
The T7 e-Hybrid can be charged in about three and a half hours using a 3.6 kW AC charger. This enables quick and convenient recharging for daily electric driving.
The VW T7 e-Hybrid boasts an electric range of 46 to 50 kilometres (29โ31 miles) under the WLTP cycle, and 58โ60 kilometres (36โ37 miles) according to the NEDC cycle.
We are able to convert a SWB VW Transporter van into a campervan from ยฃ14,255, and a LWB VW Transporter from ยฃ15,055.
Building exclusively on the Volkswagen platform, we are currently able to convert the following van models:
VW Transporter T5/T5.1
We are able to convert VW T5/T5.1 panel, Kombi and Shuttle vans from 03 plate (2003) to 15 plate (2015).
VW Transporter T6/T6.1
We are able to convert VW T6/T6.1 panel, Kombi and Shuttle vans from 65 plate (2015) onwards.
We advise taking away a loan vehicle and visiting Banbury or surrounding areas such as Stratford-Upon-Avon. On average, a habitation check takes around 3/4 hours to complete.
Depending on the age of your van this may be displayed on the instrument cluster or you may need to look at the service book provided with your van, typically van services are due every 18,000 miles or every 2 years.
You can fit almost any upgrades to your campervan within our workshop. This can include anything from sidebars, roof racks, bike racks, solar panels, tow bars, parking sensors, and suspension upgrades, to name a few. Contact our service department to find out more.
We recommend driving the vehicle for at least one hour every week to charge both the van battery and the leisure battery, and that you hook the vehicle up to mains electrics overnight at least once a month dependant upon usage. This will ensure the battery has a good charge and is conditioned.
We would also recommend that you make sure everything is turned off when not in use, especially the fridge, and that you have the fridge set on a medium to low setting whenever not hooked up if possible, as the fridge is the largest draw of power from the leisure battery. The fridge should also show โVENTโ on the door catch when NOT in use. When in use, that catch should be switched to a blank side to ensure the cold air is kept in the fridge.
Dependant on how the battery has been conditioned, how charged it is, the ambient outside temperature, and what you are using within the conversion, such as fridge/freezer, heater, 12v. sockets etc, we would expect anywhere from 12 hours to 48 hours usage as a general rule. However, dependant on the demand, this can increase or decrease.
Continuous use of the leisure battery without charging by mains hook up will drain the leisure battery to the point it will no longer hold a charge, and keeping the battery on mains hook up when the conversion is not in use can also cause damage to the leisure battery and in both instances would result in the battery requiring replacement.
After every use of the leisure battery we advise to hook up to mains to fully recharge and condition the batteries, this will stop the batteries from being fully discharged and causing damage to the battery cells which in turn will reduce the battery health.
