Caravelle business conversion

[Mr James Hunt]

Hello and thank you for the invite. I have recently sold my T5.1 Transporter campervan and I now own a T5.1 Caravelle Business with a view to converting it to Cali spec if poss. The Business has most of the luxury's I wanted in the camper so it seems an opportunity to convert not to be missed! However I am going to enjoy the Caravelle as is, at least until next summer. Looking forward to being a long time member on here as I am a big fan of the Cali.

Would like to think so, but sadly not. I did however meet him a couple of times, what a nice guy (at least he was to his fans)

Hmmm I haven't been thrown out of any yet, been asked to leave a couple of times in my youth though!

Caravelle Business ~ wow, that’s an expensive donor vehicle for a conversion! Welcome.

We had a 2005 Caravelle. Started with some conversion, swivel seats and a leisure battery, but we were put off at cost of a pop-top when we were already having turbo issues.
Problem with Caravelle is the rear heating set up is across the main roof, so pop-top means lossing all that, or expensive redirecting of ducts and outlets. There were one or two firms firms that offered it, but it added a premium.
The bench seat in the Caravelle is the same as the 3-seater bench in the Beach, you just need the multiflex brackets and board.

The Business has twin singles, not a bench.

Welcome.

As Stoneybroke said above having a pop up roof is very complicated and expensive because of the climate control vents. I had a Caravelle Exec that I wanted to convert but could not justify the cost. Kernow Transporters in Cornwall have done in the past, maybe worth contacting them.
