I recently received an email from a guy
who was telling me about his Citroen Berlingo camper van conversion.
Well it just so happens that Jo who is camping here also has a
Berlingo that she's converted into a mini camper van, and is
travelling around Scotland in it.
Jo originally showed me around her van set
up at Applecross, so this time I made some pictures to share with you
so you can see just what can be done with a smaller, but very
spacious vehicle.
Here you can see in through the side
door, and just to Maisey's left you can see the kitchen unti with gas
burners that Jo has installed. There's plenty of storage space under
there too as you can see. There are also some very useful lights
beside the speaker above the cooker (and on the opposite side) and
she has put up some additional LED lights on the head cloth. You can
see a mug hanging from some coated wire installed along the ceiling
too – storage space used creatively. A great thing about the
Berlingo is that it has a sliding door on both sides, so as you can
see here, its possible to lay on the bed and have the door open next
to you.
The photo above shows the view in
through the back lift-up door. This type of door is great for keeping
the rain off and you can sit out under it even if the weather isn't
dry. You can see the bed well here, which has been attached to the
side of the van with some hooks to keep it from moving out of place.
Theres also storage space under the bed (side door access too) so all
manner of useful things can be stored here. In Jo's van she has a
dutch oven and a barbecue here. You can see the curtain hanging
behind the bed in front of the cab in this shot, but the curtains
have been made so they can also be hung right around below the main
front windscreen – they're all on velcro strips for easy fitting
and removal.
In her van, Jo has a 25 litre water
carrier and a portaloo, both of which fit neatly behind the driver
and passenger seats, not taking up much valuable space in the living
area. She also takes full advantage of the storage shelf above the
front windscreen and has everything needed within arms reach there.
There is also room in the back for her folding camping chair, LPG gas
bottle, and artists materials, as Jo likes to paint the beautiful
scenery she sees on her travels. All in all a great little camper van
conversion, and I must say that I was really impressed by the
spacious feeling in the van even with all these things installed.
Very comfortable travelling!
