What Conversion is this?

Post by fatwomble »

Apologies if you have already seen this in General Chat, should obviously have been posted here.

The previous owner of my camper couldn't shed much light on who did the conversion.

Anyone know?

A 2 berth tin top,,,,,Hmmmm could just be a bespoke jobbie as the fixture and fittings are quite common to a few models.

Regards

PS, I like the idea of having a sliding door behind the sink and fridge, very handy, :shock:

It is slightly unusual, may mean that it wasn't converted from new. It has no handle on the outside, not sure if it is openable i haven't had a chance to check yet.

It's having an oil leak fixed at the moment so I can't get any better pictures.

Defo a Holdsworth. I've got all the same cupboards but in different places.
In fact, does anyone else have the same conversion as me i.e. the Holdsworth Vision?

It looks like late Holdsworth cupboards fitted to an early van. Early Holdsworth cupboards were made of varnished plywood not the vinyl covered ones used in later vans.

Keith (Baywest) has an air cooled tin top camper with the early type cupboards. My previous camper, a 1980 A/C had the same interior as Keith's. :)
