Dirty-Weekender Van Conversions

The master at work…

Full Reimo canvas and headlining replacement done today by Johnny - just look at the pace this man works 😉

We converted this van over 10 years ago so it was due a refresh on the Reimo Classic roof - time to get rid of those pesky holes! 👀

Meet me at the Diner….

The super stylish, oh-so cosy, beautifully curated diner that also just happens to be your vessel for adventures and your very own Campervan - otherwise know as Molly.

This project for our two interior loving customers was something for us to really get our creative teeth in to- we just loved the whole process.
Donna & Brian came to us with a great sense of fun, an unmistakable sense of style and most importantly they were happy to take a risk.

After visiting they fell head over heels with the design, colours and interior style of their Diners - I mean who wouldn’t?! Always helps when your nickname is Molly too….
Together we spent a fair few very happy hours choosing materials and details to affectionately inspire the space for their very own camper.

It was fantastic to take Molly back to to get some shots with her inspiration. The food was pretty ace as well 😉
The result speaks for itself ❤️

Out with the Old
In with the New…..

REFRESHED✨
We have just had the artwork redone for our branded embossing on all or leather upholstery and we are absolutely chuffed to bits with it! ✨✨

Thinking about your very own Paddleboard?
NOW is the time!
We have some SENSATIONAL SEASONAL SAVINGS on our paddle boards here at HQ.
There are some huge savings to made on all the packages we have in stock..

Yes, you did hear that right - and yes, Johnny does know 😉

Head to our online store to see how much you could save to get yourself on the water!!

Not 1 but 2 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ reviews landed in our inbox this morning from and we built 10 years apart!
A great to start to another busy week 😊
We built Jayne & Geoffs Transporter nearly 10 years ago and we saw them last week when they paid us a visit for some maintenance work and a service. It’s always good to catch up on everyone’s travels!
The second one came from our latest MAN TGE build to leave HQ. Ian snd Charlie were absolutely brilliant to work with on their special project and the outcome speaks for itself- pics soon!
We hugely appreciate these reviews and hearing what a great experience you have all had with us here - it works both ways and we feel very lucky!

This week we have fitted a Evasion roof tent in medium to this stunning new Defender.
Plenty of adventures ahead for these guys and always in comfort!
They also picked up a the tunnel for the access and the anti-condensation mat for added plushness!

Another Toffee Brown T5 making it to the grid this week - this time for a new roof canvas, struts and hinge revamp.
This Reimo classic roof needed some TLC to be back to tip condition.
We have done lots of canvas replacements this year at HQ - has your canvas seen better days? Maybe it’s time to think about a new one!

We love this Toffee Brown colour on the Transporter 👌
Last week this van was in for stage 1 of the conversion process for this couple.
Reimo Easy Fit roof was the first job up along side cutting out the windows for the genuine VW glass to be fitted.
We lined, sound deadened and insulated inside and finished it off with the beautiful French Oak flooring.

Graham & Sarah have made the move up to a bigger van with this MAN TGE 3.180.
All they needed was an upgraded security package and some passenger seating in the rear.
We installed an Alarm and Tracker alongside the 86cm RIB bed with seating for 2.
then installed their Bear Lock for extra peace of mind.
Off to the Alps they go!

Alongside our full conversions we also continue to do a lot of upgrades and updates.
We supplied and converted Andy & Helen’s van 11 years ago - it’s immaculate!
They have continued to use who have done a great job in maintaining and servicing their van and have just been back in to the DW workshops for a full lithium electrical upgrade to enable them to spend more time off grid 🙌 and ready for their up and coming trips this summer!

And a little more of the last month….

Jumping on the ‘Life Lately’ trend - if there even is one?!
June & July here at HQ have been nothing short of crazy busy.
We have been beavering away in the background with a workshop consistently full of Transporters and lots of smaller jobs getting you lot ready, fully charged and safely in to your summer of travels 👌

☀️ SUNNYSIDE UP ☀️
Much sunnier than the UK at present!

Another stunner to leave us this week is this sunny yellow new T6.1.
We fitted full kit to begin with along with some new tyres and powder coated the original wheels white.
The conversion workshop set about fitting the lifting roof, Thule awning and fitting the sound deadening.
With all its white details and retro white wheels we love the individuality of this van 👌

It’s been Transporter time this week at HQ and what a week it’s been!
We are not just all about the big conversion builds at Dirty Weekender and this week has been full with all sorts of stage and partial builds.
Some of our work has been..
⭐️ Sound deadening, carpet lining and insulation
⭐️Reimo lifting roofs and roof beds
⭐️Genuine VW glazing
⭐️Webasto diesel heater fitting
⭐️Front speaker upgrades
⭐️ Reimo Multirail and Thule awning fits

Beautiful Blues, Beautiful View…
(Swipe to read the stunning review 😉)

A classic and clean conversion of this lovely customers T6.1 transports us straight over to Lake Bled, Slovenia. The supplied photograph of this iconic castle was perfect to frame the window and continue across the one level conversion.
This space feels calm and functional - with a huge top loading fridge, sink and still a double burner we have certainly made great use of the single level they were after and created as much storage as we possibly could.
Wishing Toni & Christine the very happiest of adventures!

More from the weekend 🤍
Cream teas, shorts for the first time, Birthday cake for the lovely Sarah, the coast path, a cider or two, fire pits, sunsets and BBQs - Perfect!

DW CUSTOMER CAMP #17

What a weekend! ☀️

We have just returned from the very best weekend, at the best campsite, with the best people and certainly the very best vans 😉
Can we also just take a moment for the most outstanding weather and the most incredible sunsets we have ever seen!?!

After 5 years MIA due to many things, including the world going slightly nuts - this seemed like the right time for us to reinstate our customer camping weekends and my word, we have missed them!
Filling a campsite with not only the vans we have created over the years but with the people and families we have got to know so well through our unique process is just magical to be honest.

A huge thank you to everyone who came to this one and made it the extra special corker that it was, and to everyone who has been along before to support what we do and take a weekend out to spend it with us!

In uncharacteristic turn of events - we have also booked the dates for next year!
16-18th May
SAVE THAT DATE!! xx

Monday morning after the best weekend 🤍
