DIRTY WEEKENDER

If you’ve looked at all the off-the-peg campers and decided you want a truly bespoke build, we’d probably point you towards Worcesterbased Dirty Weekender.

This converter likes to do things differently, while still retaining the practicality of the proven side kitchen layout and using triedand-trusted components such as a Webasto fridge, RIB seat and Reimo roof in its Adventure Vans. Many campervan firms cut costs by using cheaper fittings but there’s nothing like that here.

Instead, you might see Bilstein lowered suspension, metal-coated cabinets (with zinc and copper powder applied in layers and then sanded back for a stunning finish), tweed and leather upholstery, a personalised wrap on the underside of the roof bed or, our favourite feature, a coffee machine that disappears under the counter at just the flick of a switch.

An extra-long (1.95m) bed is another plus of these VW campers that can be as individual as you.
