Family Luxury Meets Off-Grid Freedom

For sale: A 2021 VW Crafter MWB Camper Conversion, professionally built by Base Campers with no expense spared, now available to own.

This is a full top-spec Base Campers conversion, ordered new with every box ticked and barely used since. Built by master craftsmen and van life experts, it sleeps six and seats five on the road, combining genuine family practicality with boutique-level luxury in every detail, from the motorised king size bed to the backlit timber panelling.

This van has everything:

Space for the whole family, complete off-grid independence, and the finish quality of a build where nothing was compromised. Whether you are chasing coastlines, heading to festivals, or disappearing into the wild, this Crafter makes every trip effortless. Owned from new by a Cornish campsite owner who simply never got the chance to use it, this is a rare opportunity to buy a top-spec conversion at a fraction of the cost of ordering one from scratch.

At only 31,000 miles, this 2021 VW Crafter is barely run in. It comes with full main dealer service history, was serviced just three weeks ago, and returns to Base Campers for ongoing service and maintenance checks. It carries 16 months of remaining VW extended warranty and 11 months MOT, giving you complete peace of mind. It has just been fully detailed and is ready for the next adventure.

Base Van

  • Volkswagen Crafter MWB, 140bhp, Highline: Effortless power for a fully loaded camper, in the most refined trim VW offered.
  • White bodywork: Clean, modern, and the strongest colour for long-term resale.
  • Wolfrace load-bearing alloy wheels with all-terrain tyres: Purposeful stance and striking appearance, with only 2,000 miles covered on the tyres and real capability behind them.
  • 31,000 miles with full main dealer service history, 11 months MOT and 16 months remaining VW extended warranty: Low mileage, meticulously maintained, and still under manufacturer cover.
  • Reversing camera, air conditioning and leather-stitched steering wheel: Comfort and convenience on every journey, and a genuinely easy van to place and park.
  • Seating for five on the road, three in the front with drop-down centre back plus OEM rear seats for two: Real family capacity without eating into the living space.
  • Registered as a van on the V5C: The vehicle remains classified as a panel van rather than a motor caravan, which is standard for conversions since the DVLA stopped reclassifying in 2019. Specialist campervan insurance is widely available, and we would always recommend confirming cover and applicable speed limits with your own insurer.
  • Sold without a current LPG gas safety certificate: The gas system was professionally designed and installed by Base Campers as part of the original build. Base Campers no longer offers LPG certification in-house, so any buyer wanting a current certificate for insurance, hire or peace of mind can arrange one directly with an approved gas engineer.

Sleeping & Living

  • Sleeps six: Comfortably sleep six, a rare capability at this level of finish and a genuine family van rather than a couples’ conversion.
  • Pop top roof with full panoramic canvas: Open the entire roof section and take in the whole view from your elevated bed, not just a window’s worth.
  • Project 2000 motorised king size bed with memory foam mattress: Raises and lowers at the touch of a button, freeing up full standing headroom by day.
  • RIB rear seats with isofix, folding out to a double bed: Safe, flexible seating and sleeping, designed for families travelling with children.
  • Side flares with windows: Extra width to the rear so you can sleep across the van, with the view from your pillow.

Comfort & Style

  • Factory VW upholstery with matching RIB bed: Original VW seats throughout, with the RIB rear seat and bed trimmed to match, for a consistent, factory-quality finish that wears far better than aftermarket alternatives.
  • LVT white timber-look flooring: Durable, warm underfoot, and easy to clean for all-season use.
  • Fully insulated throughout: Thermal efficiency that keeps the heat in through Cornish winters and the heat out in summer.
  • Eberspächer diesel heating: Year-round comfort with fast, efficient warmth that runs off the van’s own fuel rather than your gas.
  • Rear window blinds with opening windows and fly screens: Privacy, ventilation and blackout comfort in any setting.
  • Backlit LED panelling throughout with touch-sensitive dimmers: Every panel is illuminated and fully dimmable, and it looks extraordinary after dark.
  • Backlit timber ceiling panel: A signature Base Campers detail that lifts the whole interior.

Utility & Storage

  • Bespoke cabinetry throughout with soft-close drawers: Hand-built by Base Campers’ own cabinet makers in a contrast of natural ply and white panelling for a fresh, modern look.
  • Solid oak worktop: Warm, hard-wearing and beautifully grained, with the kind of surface that only improves with age and use.
  • Freestanding table stowed on the rear door: Moves anywhere inside the van or comes outside for alfresco dining, then stores flat against the rear door so it never eats into your living or storage space.
  • Generous storage throughout with LED lighting: Cleverly designed spaces that maximise every inch, beautifully illuminated.

Power & Technology

  • Victron split charge system with 100Ah leisure battery: Extended off-grid capability with intelligent charging on the move or parked up.
  • 250W solar panel: Sustainable off-grid power generation that keeps the fridge running with no hookup in sight.
  • 240V mains hookup with built-in smart battery charger: Full, fast charging whenever mains power is available.
  • LED task and ambient lighting with touch-sensitive dimmers: Create the perfect atmosphere day or night.
  • 12V lighting throughout: Efficient, low-draw illumination that barely touches the leisure battery.

Kitchen & Water

  • Dometic 922 combination sink and hob unit: Stylish, efficient cooking and washing up in one compact, well-engineered unit.
  • Waeco 50L compressor fridge with freezer compartment: Proper refrigeration and frozen food storage, running off solar rather than gas.
  • Underslung water tank with level gauge and electric pump: A hygienic, high-capacity water system that frees up interior space entirely.
  • Whale Expanse gas water heater: Real hot water on demand, not just cold from the tap.
  • Hot and cold shower point to the rear of the van: Rinse off anywhere, perfect after beach, bike or surf trips.
  • Underslung LPG tank with external BBQ point: Alfresco dining made easy, with refillable gas instead of swapping bottles.

Exterior Enhancements

  • Wolfrace load-bearing alloy wheels with all-terrain tyres: Only 2,000 miles covered, with a purposeful stance and genuine go-anywhere grip.
  • Rear-door mounted spare wheel: Full-size spare carried externally, leaving your interior storage untouched.

Convenience & Toileting

  • Thetford Porta Potti with dedicated storage: Discreet, hygienic and convenient for fully self-contained camping.
  • Passenger seat swivel fitted, driver’s swivel supplied: Flexible, sociable living space, with the driver’s swivel included ready to fit if you want it.

£49,995 + VAT (£59,995 including VAT)

The van is company owned, so a VAT-registered buyer will be invoiced showing 20% VAT for potential reclaim, bringing the net cost to £49,995.
