I love travelling. I normally travel with my backpack in far-off corners of the world. But, in 2006 I bought a Mercedes Sprinter van and converted it into a camper van. I then drove my camper van (named the Pampy Camper) to Belgium, France, Spain and Portugal. I spent 9 months travelling around, free camping most of the time, and surfing waves that were normally too big for me.

I returned home in June 2007. As I was spending the next few years backpacking I sold the Pampy Camper :-(. I sold her to a friend though :-)

I created this website to share my information from making my campervan and the 9 month trip I took.

In 2010, after 2 years of backpacking in Asia I decided it was time for another campervan. Impressed with the Mercedes Sprinter I had before, I bought another. A MWB hi-top in baby blue.

Here are some pages about my trips that you might find useful.

After thinking about building another campervan for a while, I was looking online at vehicles in the Cornwall area.  I saw a few that looked good, especially a Blue Sprinter very near by.  I went and had a look.  It was in good condition, an ex Transco van that had a few bruises as all work vans do, but a full service history and brand new MOT. Read more »

Mercedes Sprinter conversion - The Pampy Camper

By

In 2006 I converted a cheap Mercedes Sprinter 208D van into a comfortable campervan.  I had no previous experience, but found enough information, and used enough imagination to make a lovely little campervan.  I packed away my possessions, and took off on a road trip, expecting to be away for 2 months.  I came back 9 months later.  I was hooked on campervan'ing.   Read more »
