Tyne and Wear Camper Conversions | Jarrow, Tyne and Wear

About Us

This website belonged to Tyne & Wear Camper Conversions, a camper and motorhome conversion company based in Jarrow, Tyne and Wear.

Its work covered Tyne and Wear, the whole of the North East of England and the rest of the UK. The company specialised in VW conversions but converted other makes too, with campers ranging from VWs to Ford Transits and Vauxhall vans, and the site promised 100% quality on each and every conversion.

Elevating roofs were fitted to everything from small Japanese imports such as the Nissan Elgrand, Toyota Alphard and Nissan NV200 up to the Ford Transit Custom and the VW Transporter T4, T5 and T6, with structural bonding and powder coated or galvanised strengthening frames. Diesel air heaters from Webasto, Eberspacher and Planar were offered to make a camper more usable in the colder months.
