you could try these i think i read once they will do part or full conversions

http://www.rainbowconversions.co.uk/index.htm

and check out your local council or paper for storage ie.garage for rent

or if thats not an option then try a caravan storage place you may be able to store it there whilst you do work on it.

 good luck with the project

and when you start why not run a thread  with photo's and ups and downs of the build

Chippy,

If its a campervan that You are looking for that also will double as everyday transport what about a Mazda Bongo or Ford Freda.They are cracking vehicles for all info please take a look at www.bongofury.co.uk  Its probably worth taking a look at members vehicles for sale on this website as some are converted.There are also links to all the well known Bongo Converters in the country including the ones down in Your neck of the woods in Devon where We have a lot of members.At Your budget You should be able to get a really good 1997/8 model but they are all priced competitively anyway.

I have had one since July 06 and its been fantastic to own it.I am also a member of the Owners Club (The Forum is an excellent font of information).

Cheers for now MM Dave

Good Luck in Your search!!

Hi Chippy,

I think your best bet is to do the conversion yourself - that way you can get a lot for your proposed budget and you will get something YOU want.  Have you looked at The Self Build Motor Caravan Club? (www.sbmcc.co.uk) This is an excellent Club giving tons of advice to converters.  Plenty of members have carried out conversions on the house drive!  For information, at the York MH event in September one of the Nu-venture companies (can't remember which) was quoting £17k to convert your own supplied panelvan.  I reckon to do a full spec. panelvan (long wheelbase) with all the bits new will cost around £8k for the gear.  Lot less if you go down the secondhand route and not such a full spec.
