Average side conversion price

[Shane]

Hi guys just wondering what a rough or average  price would be for a full side conversion if I decide to go down this route for my 2010 velfire. (Without getting ripped off). Thanks

This all depends on the company, quality and finish of the materials use. On average a full side conversion with R+R bed,sink,fridge,portible loo,flooring,lights and units range anywhere between 7k-10k. Check on different companies websites they are helpful.😎

Pop out roof itself is around £4k fitted....if you think of having one.

I don't have a side conversion.

 

The quality of the conversion is key, but especially if having a pop top.

Some conversion companies are far more competent that others.

 

Do your homework.

There are plenty of conversion companies out there, Conwy campers, Calder campers and the one I am going to use is Northstar in isle of wight.😎

I  suspect not. Pop Top is extra !

Depends which convertor you use.

The Pop Top kits are not cheap, and fitting them is quite major; chassis rigidity and strength etc, in an accident / rollover !

Right OK thanks,  so probably around the 10 to 13 k Marc then ...Big money

I've just been quoted £12,200 for a side conversion with pop top, not sure it includes the bed boards etc........

 

The pop top is £3,500 on its own.

I've just paid £14k for a full side conversion with pop top and R+R bed at Funky Ram in Bristol. Freshly imported, I'm picking it up on Friday. I'll post some pictures when I have it.

I’ve been quoted £9850 for a side conversion and elevating roof by SC Conversions in Plymouth if that is any help? I have visited their workshop and all looks good with plenty of vans being worked on including a number of Alphards, I think he had 5 there when I last spoke. My conversion is due in July as he is so busy but I suppose the proof will be in the pudding. I’ll post some pictures when it is done. Conversion time is an estimated 3 weeks however and he doesn’t offer the wider bed.

Holy thread revival!

 

I can tell you the pop top conversion on ours (from Northstar) was 4300 quid back in 2021.  The rear conversion was done by New Dawn which I dont have the paperwork for, but know from their website our conversion base cost would be about 2k bur our vehicle does have some extras (decent Vitrifrigo fridge/freezer etc).

 

I guess everythings probably gone up a bit since too....reckon you probably need to budget a good 7 or 8k (or in other words nearly the cost of a half decent van) to convert one.

 

Im not sure I could bring myself to buy a van and do it out, unless it was to do it exactly as I wanted it......tends to make more sense to buy one done as they tend to always sell for less than their conversion cost - privately particularly.
