Product Description

Review
VW Owners Club GB, Spring 2008
UK club website
Circulation: 16000hits/month
This book is a very comprehensive step-by-step guide to starting with a T5 van and finishing up with a Camper. It contains some 272 pages that are profusely illustrated in full color together with captions relevant to the task being worked on. The book starts with a 'Safety First' chapter and there follows another 6 chapters that are all subdivided into sections with each covering, very thoroughly, certain aspects of the conversion. It covers just about everything in fine detail and should give the persons carrying out the conversion all the confidence needed to finish the task and be proud of what they have achieved. One chapter with many sections that caught my eye especially was the one-headed 'Extras and accessories', and within this a lot of very sound advice regarding wheels and tires is given. If I was thinking of doing a conversion - which I am not - I think this is the book I would rely on to lead me gently through the not inconsiderable task taken on.

Product Description
Convert your own VW Panel Van to a Camper, and you've got the best of both worlds, as Lindsay Porter's manual shows. The T5 Transporter, the world's best selling van, is great to own and you'll save a fortune compared to the cost of buying a ready-converted Camper. Follow the detailed, highly illustrated instructions in this manual and you can't go wrong. This book will show you how to chose the right Panel Van for your needs, how to fit the roof, windows and furniture, plus step-by-step guides to fitting cookers, a water supply, wash-stands, heaters and more. A detailed guide with 500 illustrations, covering every aspect of the conversion. You'll save money and learn a lot.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected, 28 Feb 2008
By Mrs. E. Henderson - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've just received my copy of the book today from Amazon. I'm very disappointed, it should be titled "How Leisure Drive convert a T5 van to camper". I'm thinking of doing a partial conversion of a T5, hence my purchase. I was expecting details of how to go about doing this myself. For example, furniture plans/templates with instructions for furniture construction etc. This book is just an advert for the Leisure Drive conversion company, it shows them converting a van, albeit with lots of photos. Don't waste your money on this book if you're planning a Self Build and need some how to do it instructions.

1.0 out of 5 stars Cheated by woman with no interest in engineering or DIY, 18 Mar 2008
By Mr. S. Salih - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book sadly does not do what it says in the title. It is an inconsistent collection of photos that the author has collected during the conversion of her own vw T5 carried out by professionals. It gives a vague description of how certain things were done but nowhere near the level required for a DIY conversion. Even worse at times it includes the manufactures instructions for certain products. The book is neither original nor interesting, it is hard to make a positive comment. In summary I feel cheated paying for this information which could easily be found from google, or instructions from camper-van products!

1.0 out of 5 stars More a review of how his was done than a manual on how, 22 Jun 2009
By A. P. Eaves "uclick2shop" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Described as a 'camper conversion manual' - but that is misleading, the author didn't convert the van himself and the book mostly shows a photographic record of what the professional converters did, some 'how to' tips but NOT a comprehensive guide- overall I was fairly disappointed.
