I opted for an Autohomes mainly because of the High Top design and its dimensions. The quality of the interior construction is 'workmanlike' which is a polite way of saying 'pretty poor'. Go for a 'westy' if you want a quality build (and you get the double glazed windows too!) or a Brit conversion that allows you to chop and change the bits you don't like as they have probably worn out or fell to bits.......

Anyone done a conversion from LHD to RHD? Is it on WIKIE? Is it worth the effort? Are there any insurance or ministry problems?
Is it worth the effort with an LT? :run

The LHD is no biggie, to be honest - I've never found ours trickier to drive than any other vehicle.

We have an autosleeper - I wish I had invested 6-7k in a genuine hi top westy a couple of years ago.

I have been keeping an eye out at all the competition for the last two years and:

I love the updstairs bed arrangement in the westy HI top - bigger, more solid and slides down sooooo nicely.
The lining and seats are better quality than the grannies carpet and curtains british manufacturers choices.
Generally orig german - generally much less rusty (generally - but I think proven - not seen 25 years of British salt)
LHD - so no biggy - I don't get to overtake much but cyclists...and I can see round them.
Top spec ATLANTICS can offer PAS and even cruise - double glazed windows etc. - stuff you almost NEVER get on british conversions.
quality
