Here’s another incredible bespoke camper conversion from Vanpuravida in the UK, called “Henry.” The van uses its Himalayas layout, which includes a dinette that turns into an L-shaped couch, and a fixed queen-sized bed. There’s even a “spacious” van bathroom with a shower and composting toilet at the front of the build.
When you first walk in, you’ll find a little bench/shoe storage before running into the bathroom. The kitchen has both a two-burner cooktop and an oven upgrade, plus the most gorgeous backsplash! This conversion layout starts at £39,990 (~$49,860) sans the cost of the van base.

A nicely made and well thought van conversion but unfortunately not suitable for tall guys.
It lacks standing headroom and bed length because the uniform bodies of the nowadays vans doesn’t allow tall people to sleep across driving direction and standing headroom.
In the past there were wider and bodies and fiberglass made hi-top roofs but sadly not anymore.
You need to go for box vans which don’t handle and appear similar.
On the other hand they have straight walls, allow better insulation and are easier to furnish.
Yes, the main benefit of a van is ease of travel but it isn’t very efficient and is one of the reasons Class B’s are more expensive for their size than just about any other RV type.
Class C’s, trucks, are more efficient, allow for true 4 season insulation, more bang for your buck, easier to configure, etc. Though, there is a transition point where the 2 overlap, sometimes called Super Class B’s and brands like Winnebago have started to offer options like their Ekko series after high end custom companies started showing the benefits of just going a bit bigger than the van form factor.
While trucks have been popular conversion options since the earliest DIY RVs, going back to around the 1920’s. So there’s much more history behind them than van conversions but, for some people, freedom of movement can matter more…
