I was on ebay a while back and I saw a T25 that said it was an enterprise conversion? iv only heard of them mentioned this one time my queston is do they exist or did the seller get the info wrong? and where could i get the info?

this particular camper was in white with a raised high top (solid) roof in white in the price bracket of £4500-£5000 if that help jog memories if anyone else saw it that is!

The enterprise was a T25 conversion by a company called Beckenham motor caravans there location was not far from croydon Surrey.In the 1980s- 90s i was working in Banstead Surrey and in my lunch hour i used to call in on the occasion for interior fittings and carpet linings for a T2 bay window i was converting to a camper.Whilst at there workshops there was a couple of T25s being fitted out with a body kit&interior.The owner and mechanics where friendly&chatty i asked them questions about the materials being used for this T25 conversion called the enterprise.They also did work fitting high tops so had them fit a low line sheldon high top to the T2 bay i converted.Sadly like a lot of small outfits in the late 1990s the company dissapeared.Regarding the enterprise i thought it was a heavy conversion and used extra mouldings on the bodywork.

we purchased a an f reg t25 high top last year from hull area....and were unsure of our model conversion....it has moulded body skirts on grey plush velour upholstery...white and grey trim conversion...the chap we bought it from had it 11 years and said it had been done at a local caravan/motorhome place in hull area because he remembered seeing them been done when he worked local years back...we saw one same on ebay last year beckenham enterprise it was called...just wondered if anyone could enlighten us to the model...tryed uploading a pic but was saying file too big....many thanks

Thanks for this. I bought an enterprise van last year. Couldn't find any info on them. Armed with this knowledge, I wonder if I can convince my insurance company that it wasn't a DIY home conversion.

As i said the enterprise was a conversion by this company called Beckenham motor caravans.There workshop was between Croydon & Sydanham South London.It was based around a factory made moulded body kit & interior seating /beds fridge and cooker.When i talked to the owner and fitters at the Beckenham workshop in the 80s Sheldon that make high tops had some think to do supplying the moulded body parts for the enterprise model.It is not a conversion for a DIY at home as i recall the owner said it came as a complete package with Zig unit electrics installed and gas pipes for the oven.Also there was reinforced anguler frame welded in where the roof was cut for the high top .

Re lighting and old thread I know, but Ive got an Enterprise and every thing seems to be very good quality. Any idea when they stopped converting? Im wondering how old my interior is?
