About Us

Comfy or no Camping!

The message was clear! Tracy was not stepping foot on a campsite unless she was comfy. The obvious choice was a campervan but we couldn't afford to have an expensive 3rd vehicle parked on the driveway for much of the year, it had to function as my daily driver and also I was nervous about driving a big van.  


So we opted for a VW Caddy and worked out that with the seats pushed forward there was enough length in the back for a decent sized bed. So we bought one...

Wot no windaz?

Unfortunately the VW Caddy SWB doesnt have any recesses in the van walls for the windows to sit in. So adding a window means it had to be glued to the surface of the side of the van, which we felt would look a bit strange. 


So maybe even stranger, I decided porthole windows would look absolutely fine and we fitted x2 to each side.... 

Campervan = adventures.

We experimented with lots of layouts. We knew a side-facing sofa gave the best 'feel' when sitting in the van but at the time I couldnt figure out how to make the furniture so we opted for a more traditional forward facing seat - rock n roll style with the frame made out of extruded aluminium. It worked well and we had great fun travelling the UK and France!

Bigger is better? Not sure!

We eventually sold the Caddy, I had grown more confident driving vans so we decided to convert a Transit Custom panel van, we named her Gueneviere. We learnt a lot about van conversion on this one but the niggles of front facing seats and a 'cramped' interior wouldnt go away. We really wanted to give the side-sofa layout a try!

Bluebell - just what we thought!

During COVID there was time to take on another project.This time we'd do it 'our way'. We traded for a beautiful metallic blue Transit Custom - BlueBell. We converted the van and this time, after many prototypes, fitted a full length side-sofa that folded out to make a bed and kitchen unit the opposite side. We went for a campervan fridge which we fitted at seat level so we wouldnt have to kneel on the floor to get to it. Toilet sits opposite under a lid on a gas strut. 

Having created full drawings for the furniture,  We sold Tracy's car and bought a VW T5 Caravelle to convert and to see if it would suit our furniture layout. It did!  


We then took the plunge and started Cwtchy Campers operating out of a portacabin in the garden. 

 

We've kept to the basic furniture plan but improved quite a few things over the last couple of years including a move to a drawer fridge which provides additional worktop and an even more open-plan feel to the van.   

 
We supply a standard side-sofa layout with the furniture pre-assembled, painted / stained / varnished and pretty much ready to install and use. Furniture and cushion colours chosen by you.


We want our furniture to be the easy part of converting a van and designed to be convenient to use and to create a unique spacious and open-plan interior - not crowded out with cabinets and cupboards.
