Our first full Crafter and another fully custom conversion, the brief was simple: No carpet, no door catches and not claustrophobic.. ok not so simple! Together with the customer we carefully picked the finishes and materials to create the desired finish whilst also standing the test of time. A grooved panelling was used to line the walls instead of traditional carpet and to give a Scandinavian feel to the conversion. No WC/Shower as there are no plans to use this van off-grid. Natural Nebraska oak gives a beautifully warm contrast to the white walls and really makes this van a lovely place to be. With twin sofas and a huge bed comfort was at the foremost of the design. A true one-off!

An almost full Morello conversion but without the RIB bed, this customer uses the van for a variety of things, work/cycling/holidays so we had to adjust our usual spec. We decided on removing the RIB bed as it was unlikely to used and left a huge amount of space for mountain bikes and kitchen appliances for work. Santa Fe Oak gives a lovely plank-effect finish to the units with a pure white Corian work top a striking contrast with the glimpses of blue body work, a really classy finish!
Our 2023 demo van is something special! A Blackberry SWB T5.1, lowering on So Low Coilovers with Rolls Royce Wheels, well if we were going to build something special we might as well go all out!
We built our demo van to our Morello package specification, to give a true representation of what our comprehensive package gives you on a conversion. Grey Nebraska Oak units with a Concrete effect floor really complement the right Blackberry metallic paint on the van with a stunning Nimbus Prima Corian worktop. A real step for us as a business was investing significant time and resources into building our own furniture in house and a retuning customer had faith in us to be the first conversion with our new layout! Countless hours were put into the development of this van and what a finished product we gave back. A few changes to our conversion package, with the addition of a Smart bed on rails a firm favourite, but also the omission of a hob/sink at the customers request (hey, if you’re on holiday who wants to cook or clean?!) This van is the first of many Morello conversion on the books and we’re super pleased to be offering this conversion!
A relatively simple conversion but what a transformation! Storm pop top, full interior carpet line, lighting, Vanshades and a Slidepod. This van started life as a factory kombi and didn’t take too much converting to transform into this amazing day van/camper van. The real selling point on this van is within ten minutes the Slidepod can be removed and the rear seats removed turning it into a full-payload van! Some lovely Navis wheels with All-terrain tyres were added to finish off this go anywhere, do anything conversion, we love it!
*Bias opinion, Fortana Red is one of my favourites!
This was a joint project between Cosmic Campervan in Derby and us here at Cherry, with the van coming to us having had the roof fitted and carpet lining done by Cosmic (great job done!) We then finished the conversion adding the units, blinds, final fix electrics and Smart Bed on rails. A truly stunning conversion with lovely pops of personality with the bamboo worktop and red Vanshade blinds really setting that interior off and matching the colour of the van oh so well. Full of CBE electrical install this van is ready for adventure and has been to the Alps for a maiden voyage! A green and grey day! A darker theme chosen by the customer for this conversion but a great finish really set off with the Forest Green Canvas on the Storm pop top and the vibrant, warm bamboo worktop. A custom 120cm wide Smart bed was fitted on rails with the customer choosing all the components out, with a larger CBE control unit than usual and 50L fridge with remote compressor to get the most fridge space possible with a larger bed.
A true one-off conversion here! Can we squeeze a full conversion with rear lift roof and toilet into a SWB? Just! The customer picked some stand-out colours and finishes which came together to build this eye-catching, one off custom built van. Packed with tech including Victron electrics and a Wallas XC Duo diesel heater cooker/heater this is one great conversion. A 4 berth with a double bed in the roof and two singles in the bottom (which can be pushed together to form a double). Underslung water tanks, built in shower point and 30L drawer fridge.
This customer came to us wanting an almost replica of our previous hire van ‘Ruby’ but with some subtle upgrades to make it their own! A whole host of top spec features in this van set it out from the crowd. With the UK’s first painted Vanshade blinds blending in with the lovely Cream units and real Bamboo wood worktop this was a firm favourite in the workshop! It also featured our first custom fit of Storm Pop Tops, now our preferred roof choice. A truly classy conversion, modified to work with a twin sliding door van keeping access to the door and the rear of the cupboards.
Our first 130cm wide Bed conversion and what a stunner! This factory kombi came to us for a conversion but needed to keep 5 belted seats for the family to travel. We fitted a 130cm wide RIB bed with slimline units down the drivers side, finished in Zebrano sand it keeps a lovely, light airy finish to the van with a timeless colour scheme. Despite the smaller units we still have a 50L fridge, gas hob and sink and ample storage solutions and sleeping for 4 people comfortably.
