Are Folding Campervans kits the same as other folding camper kits?

Folding Campervans is an independent UK company, and our kits are designed and built in-house. We are not affiliated with other folding camper kit companies. While some kits may look similar at first glance, ours are engineered with furniture-grade materials and carefully designed support systems — making them more comfortable, durable, and premium than typical folding kits.

Do we do custom or bespoke conversions for vehicles not listed on our website? 

We don’t make fully custom conversions, but some of our existing kits may fit other vehicles. Contact us with your vehicle details, and we’ll check if it’s compatible.

Do you need to remove the rear seats to fit a camping conversion kit? 

No. Our conversion kits are designed to be used with the rear seats fitted, you’ll need to fold the seats down when you want to use the kit. 

For vehicles with a 3rd row of seats, these will need to be removed. 

Do our conversion kits fit panel vans or crew vans?

Yes - in some cases our conversion kits can be used in commercial panel or crew vans. See our guide here.

Is the plywood treated or coated? 

Our kits are untreated. You may choose to finish the surface with Osmo oil, wood paint, or varnish if desired.

What’s the best van to buy for a camper conversion?

For a great balance between every day use and camping, we recommend the Volkswagen Caddy Life. Other similar models include the Ford Tourneo Connect, Citroen Berlingo, Peugeot Partner/Rifter. These vehicles allow a 5-seater car with a large boot for family life during the week and a micro camper at the weekend.

Are there any essentials or accessories that I need for car camping? 

Once you have a conversion kit, you may want a cushion set and some window blinds (more details below). We always like to take some folding chairs and table, so that you can sit outside in the sun (hopefully). If you’re planning on cooking a meal then take a stove and any pans you’ll need, plus crockery. Fairy lights are a nice touch to make your camper feel a bit more homely. An awning is also a great addition.

Do I need window blinds for car camping? 

Window blinds are a great addition to your conversion kit. They provide privacy, help keep the vehicle cooler in summer and warmer in winter, and prevent early mornings from being too bright.

Can I sleep comfortably in a micro camper conversion kit?

Yes - the folding design converts into a flat bed surface, providing a comfortable sleeping area for weekend trips, outdoor adventures, or spontaneous getaways.

Do I need special tools to install or remove the conversion kit?

No - our kits are completely tool-free and removable, making it easy to switch between camper setup and everyday vehicle use in just a few minutes.
