The budle - starting £21k + VAT

Compatible base Vehicle

  • VW Transporter (T5 / T6 / T6.1 / T7)
  • Ford Transit custom


Note. you supply the base vehicle, although we can help you pick the right one

The Build

The Budle has been designed for people who love the VW brand and exterior styling but would like something more refined than the usual carpeted walls and flat packed cabinets that you'll see in the majority of VW transporter campervans. We understand that you might be looking to use this as your daily driver as well as you're camper, so added the option of belting up to 4 adults by using a fold out belted seat. The Budle boasts an extendable kitchen unit which allows cooking outside, this doubles up as a comfortable bench seat inside the camper.  The Budle is suited to a a solo, couple or small family, You'll find a large sleeping area, tons of storage and a real eye catching conversion unlike anything else you've seen.


With every conversion, you receive a 12 month habitation warranty for peace of mind. If anything did require attention, repairs can be carried out throughout the UK by any AWS registered workshop.

Features

Seating

The Budle uses the original 3 belted seats with the ability to upgrate to an additional 4th using a fold out Aguti belted seat in the rear, meaning you can safely carry up to 4 people. The large L shaped seating area runs behind the cab seats and along the drivers side of the camper, with another smaller seat on the passenger side this gives you able to enjoy social games or a meal together in a comfortable space.


The upholstered seating can be be customised to suit your style

Beds

Designed to sleep 2 as standard, this can be upgraded to 3 with a cab mattress or 4 / 5 with a pop top roof & cab mattress combo


The main bed is via the pull out bench seat in the rear of the camper. There's an upgrade option of a compact folding bed which unfolds across the cab seats to make a comfortable bed for children or small adults


If you do decide to upgrade to having a pop top, you'll receive an amazing amount of headroom within the camper and also a HUGE bed in the pop top where an additional 2 adults can sleep, this bifolds & elevates out of the way when not in use.

Water & Loo

The Budle uses a sink with modern style tap, this is fed via a Shurflo or Whale diaghrapm pump via a water container mounted within the kitchen unit. There's also a waste container in the same unit which can easily be accessed & removed


There's a discreet Thetford porta potti hidden beneath the bench seat

Kitchen

The main kitchen sits at the rear of the camper, in an LWB this will be U shaped, smaller vans may have one row of cabinets across the rear. It's made from scratch by our skilled campervan craftsmen using lightweight materials. The oak worktop houses the sink and space for the Thetford gas hob (upgrade to a removable induction hob which can then be used with the sliding exterior kitchen).  We fit a cutlery drawer, pull out twin bin, 50L compressor fridge, lighting in the kickstands, full height cabinet to one side and of course you'll find plenty of storage.


The exterior sliding kitchen pulls out from the bench to give a dining area outside (if you've upgraded to the Gas free system you can place the induction hob on the pull out)


You're able to pick the colour of the cabinetry, cabinet handles and change the worktop material if you wish

Storage

We know storage is important in any small space, so we've made sure to include as much as possible in this design. There's a sizeable amount of storage within the kitchen unit, along with plenty of storage space within the bench seats.

Electrical

We know that a reliable and safe electrical system is important in a campervan which is why from standard we only use the best equipment available, the base model is powered by a 175w solar panel and 100ah Roamer lithium battery. The budle comes with a Victron hookup battery charger which allows you to charge your battery from home or campsite, Victron BMV battery monitor so you can see your battery level at a glance, then a Victron Smartsolar MPPT, Victon Orion DC-DC (split charger which charges the battery whilst driving) and Victron LYNX power in to control your power in & out

Gas & Heating

Our base model comes with a rear mounted refillable gas tank (housed within a metal locker). These include a bottle mounted gas level indicator so you can see you're remaining gas at a glance. Heating is via an underslung Autoterm 2kw diesel heater which uses a "comfort controller" that gives the ability to set timers and control the heating like a thermostat.
