Lexie is back!

The new owner, Leah, wanted a few modifications to the interior layout to suit her needs, so Lexie is now back in the workshop.

We’ve added a roof deck and made a few tweaks to the layout and storage - we all know you can never have too much storage!

We’ll show you the final changes soon. Watch this space.

We’ve got some exciting plans ahead of us, not just with campervan conversions, but also with our workshop too.

With more and more commissions on the horizon, we need more space. So, I am currently designing an additional outside workspace with a covering to get our campers out of the rain.

Here is a little sneak peek at the design!

Progress will be starting soon…

This may look like our Sonja, but it’s not…

Oli and Amy need our help with bringing Roger back to life, ready to sell. We are tidying up a few bits and pieces in the garage and giving him a bit of Chew Valley Campers TLC.

This old van is going to be in tip top shape by the time we’re done with it 👍

I’ve been busy designing the interior layout of a new commission…

A Mercedes Sprinter LWB! (Name yet to be decided)

To be ready to transport 2 adults, 1 toddler, a baby on the way and 1 dog (!) the design for Nia and Theo from South Wales had some specific requirements. We have been able to neatly nestle everything the family needs to allow them to enjoy a luxurious life on the road.

With the interior plans signed off, this is a project we just cannot wait to get stuck into!

Wilma is getting a makeover!

We’re really keen to take her out on the road as soon as possible, so this is a quick conversion with a low budget.

The space will need to be flexible because it’ll be our work van and campervan for overnight stays, so a multi-purpose layout is important.

So far Wilma has been insulated, had new lighting installed and has a custom bed frame. Plus, she looks amazing with custom artwork on the walls!

We can’t wait to show you more updates 😃

Today, on International Women’s Day, I want to say thank you to my right-hand lady, Had.

Thank you for supporting me with my businesses, Chew Valley Campers and Tom Moy Furniture.

Thank you for spurring me on to keep doing what I do best.

Thank you for living these adventures with me.

Thank you for being you.

Here’s a picture of Had doing what she does best -- exploring the Mendips.

It’s a very special place local to us, so it only felt right to advertise our campervan conversions in the Mendip Times this month 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️🥾

Don’t mind me on this Sunday afternoon…

Just ironing out the details! 😃

In all seriousness, this is a tried and tested way of adding the edging to these birch plywood units. I knew there was a reason why I owned an iron….😂

Here is a throwback to last summer when I was in the workshop making the fitted units for Lexie.

Swipe across 👉 for the final construction before we got into the spray room.

We wanted to build in lots of additional storage under the bed, but this meant the new owners needed a little step up. So, we took the opportunity to also incorporate the Propex Heatsource gas heater into the unit, meaning your toes stay nice and toasty when cooking the kitchen!

Renovating a van into a camper takes meticulous planning.

Making the most of the space available, configuring elements of the interior as efficiently as possible, using sustainable materials…

It’s an art.

And this is where my background in design really helps to bring these ideas to life ✨

We have been busy working on the design stages for a new client this week and we can’t wait to share these plans with you very soon. Keep an eye out…

Who says campervans are just for humans?!

Our furry friends can have an absolute blast on a van trip too.

Meet Buddy!

He definitely approves of the camper lifestyle.
