Each element is carefully designed to enhance comfort, functionality, and style, ensuring your van is fully prepared for any adventure. Below is a breakdown of the standout features in our Ford Transit Custom camper conversions:
Custom Pop-Top Roofing
Our Ford Transit Custom campers come fitted with high-grade Westdubs pop-top roofs, providing extra headroom and an additional sleeping area. These roofs are M1 crash tested and ISO certified for safety and peace of mind. You can choose from standard black or white finishes, or opt for colour-coded options to match your van.

Our rock and roll beds come in standard or M1 crash tested versions, ensuring maximum comfort and safety. For a more versatile option, the Forty Winks bed system transforms the rear seats of your Transit Custom Kombi into a full-width double bed, which can be easily folded away when not in use, keeping your interior space flexible.

Whether you prefer a traditional camper setup or a bespoke layout, we offer a wide range of high-pressure laminate boards (HPL) for a premium finish. With over 200 colours to choose from, or fully customised furniture kits, our options range from U-shaped layouts to slimline units, ensuring your Ford Transit Custom feels like a home on wheels.

Ford Transit Custom Highlights
The Ford Transit Custom is an ideal choice for campervan conversions. Not only is the classic Transit engine renowned for reliability and access to parts throughout Europe, it also offers a balance of space, practicality, and performance. With both short wheelbase (SWB) and long wheelbase (LWB) options, you can take advantage of flexible layouts. This means whether you’re after a compact design or need extra room for features like rock and roll beds or a pop top, the Transit Custom can accomodate. Its spacious interior and high roof options provide the freedom to create a camper that’s both functional and comfortable.
In addition to its flexible design, the Transit Custom is known for its fuel efficiency and performance, making it perfect for long trips or off-grid adventures. It handles like a car, with features like adaptive cruise control making driving a breeze.
What features are common in a Ford Transit camper?
A Ford Transit Custom can be equipped with a range of features depending on your needs. Popular additions include pop tops for extra sleeping space, rock and roll beds, full kitchen setups, and diesel heaters for colder climates. Custom window fitting, security upgrades, and advanced electrical systems can also be integrated to enhance comfort and convenience during your travels.
How much does a Ford Transit Custom camper conversion cost?
The cost of a Ford Transit Custom conversion varies depending on the level of customisation and the features you choose. A basic 2 berth conversion can start around £12,000-£13,000. While more luxurious conversions with features like high-end kitchen units, poptop fittings, and advanced electrical setups can exceed £20,000. The size of the van (SWB vs. LWB) and the materials used will also affect the final cost.
What is the difference between a short wheelbase and long wheelbase?
The key difference between the SWB (short wheelbase) and LWB (long wheelbase) Ford Transit Custom is the amount of interior space. The LWB model provides more room, allowing for larger kitchen setups, more storage, and extra seating or sleeping space, making it ideal for those who want more comfort and flexibility in their campervan layout. The SWB is more compact and easier to manoeuvre, which is beneficial for city driving or navigating tight spaces.
What Ford models do you convert?
Templer Way Campers specialises in Ford Transit Custom and Volkswagen models. However, we can work on a variety of vans for custom projects. Give us a call to discuss.
Do I need to notify the DVLA when converting van
It depends, you do not always have to notify the DVLA when converting a van into a campervan. If the conversion focuses solely on internal modifications—like adding a bed or storage—without altering the external appearance, you are not required to inform the DVLA. However, if you intend to use the van primarily as a camper and it meets the DVLA’s criteria for a “motor caravan,” it’s advisable to update the vehicle record to ensure compliance.
