Camper conversion companies, south coast

[roland-online]

Hi all

Am new to the forum here, but lurking a while over on some of the "other" forums

I've looking to fit solar charging to my Caravelle which has an existing split charge leisure system, running fridge and lights.

Have read the What Solar Panel & Controller? thread which is a great read, and really informative.

Can anyone recommend someone located in Sussex (or south east) who could supply and fit a decent quality system?

I've done all the Googling but recommendations (or places to avoid) would be really helpful.

Many thanks

No-one?

Ok then, how about Sussex, Kent, Surrey and Hampshire - must be someone about

Cheers

A little bit further afield is Roger Donoghue Solar Camper Solutions - Solar for Campers he does a lot on California forum and has a very good reputation.

Not used any of them, but did get a quote from Sun Store (£500 ish for a 120w panel and a Victron). Try these:

AMC @ Golden Cross nr Halisham on the A22 Solar Panels (Single/Dual), Eastbourne East Sussex | AMC MotorCaravans
Sun Store @ Goring-on-Sea Caravan and Motorhome Accessories - Sunstore Solar
VW-T @ Henfield https://www.vw-t.co.uk/camper-vans/cost/electrical/

There are a few more and a google will reveal them I'm sure.

Thanks for the responses.

@Loz had a reasonable quote from Roger, but unfortunately no longer fits, he's supply only - looks like good gear though.

@widu13 thanks, know of AMC already, not seen their solar work, will check out the others.

Happy to use google, but was hoping for some first-hand experiences, might just have to go on quoted price and vibe

Cheers

You'll have to go up and see Martyn @travelvolts then...

 

[roland-online]

@Loz yeah, might be what's needed

Just checked and Sunstore quoted £431 for a 150W panel with Victron and £360 (day rate) for fitting. If less than a day, labour would be less (£60 ph). The external work looks tidy enough but I thought it was a touch expensive?

 

[roland-online]

@widu13 thanks, actually doesn't seem so bad AMC quoted £747 for a 120W panel fitted, PLUS £55 for an MTTP controller, that's much higher than I'd be wiling to pay.

Hi
I'm fairly new to the camper world, but have a 2016 T28 S Line and need a few things doing, that I can't do myself. Can anyone recommend a 'go to' company/person for the following:
Supply and fit a diesel heater
Remap engine to 140 ish
Retro fit cruise control
I live in Hampshire
Thank you
Si

Hello and welcome to the forum.

When you say conversion, do you mean to a camper? This thread aims to list all current conversion companies so you can research, email them, and narrow down who you want to visit etc:

Finding a campervan conversion company

@Loz has has kindly agreed to me highlighting a new website that is designed to advise people interested in buying or converting a campervan called comparethecampervan.com. It is based on a database of over 800 UK campervan conversion companies and enables a user to enter their postcode and find...

www.t6forum.com

If it’s just carpet-lining and basic electrics for a dayvan then the same applies, but also means there are a lot more companies to choose from - your nearest possibly being @BognorMotors

Just had mine done by Flexivan Conversations in Salisbury, family run out fit 25 years experience, speak to Nathan. I had an extensive with some fairly unique mods, nothing was to much trouble, really know their stuff and the finish is excellent high recommend them - to add you get what you pay for

Would say, if it’s about cost, avoid Visiontech in Colchester, I queried a replacement table that clips onto the rail…….. £600 plus vat!!! That’s £720 for a table, oh and 6 months waiting time

I've bought CAK tanks;
Waste: 21L step tank CAK T5 T6 205 SKIRT TANK WASTE KIT
Fresh: 38L (by spare wheel) VW T5 T6 203 FRESH TANK + FITTING KIT BLACK FILLER MOTORHOME CONVERSION

I have also bought defrost element for the fresh water AUTOMATIC DE-FROST ELEMENT + STATS
And CBE dual level gauge for fresh and waste.
Will insulate the tanks before fitting...

BUT...I'm going to really struggle to fit them; access not easy on my drive, and I'm OK on this project to involve people for the bits that I need help on.
Anyone here got a recommendation for someone to help fit?
I'm based near Goodwood, but happy to travel.
