GRP High Top

Although we wanted a small Camper Van, we wanted it to be full height inside.

We took our SWB Transit to Leisuredrive http://www.leisuredrive.co.uk/ on the outskirts of Bolton and they fitted one of their GRP Hightops.

So we now have an SWB Hightop Transit.

You might also have noticed that those big butch wheels now have Camper van style wheel trims.

16 inch wheels were a priority

Very early on we realised that our van had very tiny wheels.

So one of the things we did was get a set of 16" wheels (from ebay) put big tyres on, and fitted them to our van.

I'm sure you will agree it makes it look rather mean!

Day One

Hi, welcome to my blog.
I hope to tell the story of the building of a campervan from a SWB Ford Transit.

Here is the Van on the day we bought it
