STERLING Automotive can offer the full range of modification and fitting out services to turn your T5 or any other van into either an economy surf bus or a fully appointed camper.
We can offer the full range of services and have the facilities and expertise to produce the finest craftmanship at highly competitive prices. Why not choose from one of our 'exterior and interior' standard designs. We have the 'Newbury' conversion for those that desire the full turnkey camper. We have the 'Hungerford' conversion for a fully appointed surf bus. Finally, we have the 'Kintbury' conversion for a bus on a budget. Alternatively, go ahead and specify your own conversion, picking from the options list below. If the exterior is already sorted, we can carry out a full 'interior only' conversion to turn your van into the camper of your desire. Our standard 'Oxford' interior conversion costs £5995 including all the appliances and a 3/4 rock and roll bed. Or you can amend this to suit your budget and needs. Furthermore, we would be more than happy to create a bespoke custom made interior for you and would be delighted to expand on your own creative ideas.
Our rates are very competitive indeed and we are always careful to keep customers involved at all stages of work. We never carry out unecessary work and maintain a full photographic history where appropriate. A collection and delivery service is available. If you would like to discuss your requirements, please phone 01635 569444 |
