Vans For Sale!

After a little tweaking and a couple more shows under our belt, both our Toffee Brown T5 and Black T5 are for sale once again.

With the recent good weather and the beautiful days we spent at this year’s Camper Jam, we’re certainly in the mood for campvanning, as we’re sure you are, and what better way to do it then in one of our Leisure Hubs campers.

With our recent developments purely in the furniture department of the business, it’s finally time to let our beloved campervans go to make way for our latest venture, as we already have a portfolio packed with exclusive furniture designs.

It’s no secret that purchasing a ready converted campervan can be expensive, but in the interest of moving forward with our furniture designs, we’re offering our two show vans each at a knockdown price.

Both being fresh from Camper Jam means that they’re in great shape as we’ve made every effort to make sure they’re in top condition for the public as well as for resale.

Our Toffee Brown LWB T30 140 is the ultimate in comfort and style, combining an exclusive interior set up which differs greatly from the standard “out of the box” furniture arrangements you get with most converters.

Cleverly designed to make full use of the living space, our Toffee Brown van is complete with a side facing electric bed with the kitchen unit and storage located at the rear, providing a look which is not only exclusive but also practical and functional.

With the kitchen unit and storage all located at the rear, the camper’s appliances are confined to one area, giving you more space to relax and segregate yourself from the kitchen area; perfect when camping with friends and family as to not get under each others feet.

As well as being aesthetically pleasing with its two tone quilted leather interior and stunning Tigerwood veneer, the van is complete with a 39litre fridge, a full length wardrobe, storage in the rear with tambour doors, a side facing electric bed, vanity unit, pop up plugs and USB ports and a concealed coffee maker which drops down mechanically by the flick of a switch.

Providing a stunning combination of functional features and truly unique styling, the Toffee Brown T5 is in a league of its own and is guaranteed to provide any campervan enthusiast years of enjoyment.

Priced at £38k and with just 1300 miles on the clock, the van has only been used to drive to and from shows; so the lucky buyer will be getting a virtually brand new van, full converted with some of the best features on the market at a bargain price.

Moreover, we’re selling our Deep Pearl Black T5 Transporter with our exclusive heated rainforest shower built into the tailgate, an innovation in itself and a steal for 35k with just 3800 miles on the clock.

First let’s concentrate on the vans most popular feature, the heated shower. Our black van has seen several shows throughout the UK and our heated rainforest shower always steals the show; people just cannot believe how we managed to pack a full functioning heated shower into the tailgate.

With its stylish fixed head and easy to use design, the shower supplies a multitude of practicality, whether staying fresh while taking a long trip in the UK or Europe, using it to clean mucky dogs after a walk across the countryside or to clean surfboards or sports equipment, the shower is a simple, compact solution.

Of course, this van isn’t just about the shower, it also has a living area which is packed with features including a pop up TV which is recessed into the Corian work surface and is revealed via an electric mechanism and can then be swivelled to face the seating area (which is also a comfy rock and roll bed).

As well as being able to relax in front of the TV, the interior also offers a fully functioning kitchen including a hob and sink combi, 39litre drawer fridge and generous storage for all your essentials; making the campervan as convenient and comfortable as possible with enough features to mirror the functionality of a modern home kitchen.

Both our campervans are the highest quality designs, and these two show vans have lead us to several conversion opportunities for various clients thanks to their show stealing presence at campervan shows within the UK.

Having served us proud its now time to let another keen camper to enjoy each and every benefit of not just these great vans but also the campervan lifestyle which goes with them.

For more information and the chance to buy either of these vans you can visit our listings on the Motorhome and Caravan Trader, Piston Heads and Ebay…

Classic VW Camper Conversion

A new van has arrived in our workshop and it’s a fan favourite! This old VW camper is the vehicle which originated the concept of modern campervanning to this day, with its innovative design pioneered by hippies during the sixties.

Of course the old type 2 was available in several other practical options, as a panel van, flatbed pick-up truck and mini bus, all of which are a rare find in today’s vintage car scene.

This old so and so sitting in our workshop is set for a full interior conversion, with our trademark luxury furniture and state of the art features, as well as full carpeting and flooring; breathing new life into this classic design.

Once we begin work, we’ll keep you updated with our progress, as it sure is an interesting project worth talking about. Why not drop a comment below and tell us what you think should go in this van? Or maybe you've converted your own camper and would like to share your favourite pictures?

As passionate camper converters, we're very excited about finally getting our hands on a classic camper to convert with the Leisure Hubs palette of ideas. 


If you would like more information about our premium van conversion service, please visit our website, give us a call or even visit our workshop in Tyseley, Birmingham to check out our show vans. 

The van patiently waiting for its overhaul

Floor Rail Systems

If you follow our blog, Facebook or Twitter, it’s pretty obvious that we’re all about campers, camping and conversions.

By having a real passion for campers we strive to stay in line and ahead of current design trends, whether it’s with unique furniture concepts, materials or technology.

Two of our latest conversions have followed a similar trend, utilising an Unwin floor rail system.

Floor rail systems are traditionally used to house wheelchairs in your vehicle, providing a secure system to hold a chair in place.

Recently, we’ve used Unwin floor rail systems in our conversions for customers who are looking for the ultimate versatile solution.

The beauty of floor rail systems is the many options they provide, from allowing you to add seats, to creating further boot space for you to carry bikes and extra luggage.

Fitting the rail system in our latest conversion
By simply adding seats to a slide rail system you can transform your van from a crew cab with generous boot space in the rear, to a camper with a huge living space as soon as the seats are slid back into position.

Of course, this also leaves plenty of space for a rock and roll bed, converting your van into the ultimate living area, ideal for camping.

Moreover, adding rails also allows you to add and remove seats/beds, giving you the option to use your camper as a van during the week –may it be for work or general transportation- and as a traditional campervan at the weekend.

With so much versatility to be gained from adding a floor rail system to your van you can be safe in the knowledge that your camper can be chopped and changed with minimal effort to suit your situation, a much needed feature in the ever-changing modern world.

If you would like more information on our Floor Rail Systems then please visit our website.

Van Insulation

We know that our furniture designs are unrivalled in the contemporary market, thanks to our extensive history in furniture manufacture, it is a major selling point for our vans and conversions to provide the same luxury a modern home can.

After stripping the interior of a van the first hurdle is to fit a lining. The van lining may look like the most basic of steps, but it is in fact one of the most important.

A van lining not only provides a stylish surface to cover the metal cocoon, it can also provide insulation and sound deadening, giving you premium comfort.

When discussing the conversion process with our clients, we offer a range of different lining options, from sheep or rock wool insulation to PUNF foam and WB barrier matting.

Sheep’s wool insulation is a great way to create a cosy camper: why? Sheep’s wool is made up of thousands fibers packed closely together, with enough tiny gaps to trap air, heat up and in turn keep your van insulted.

Of course, sheep’s wool is natural, provides great and most importantly in a vehicle, sheep’s wool extinguishes itself when set a light.

Rockwool insulation is another natural solution to insulation, combining natural rocks and minerals, which are then heated to form a tightly interlaced roll of fibers. The benefits of Rockwool insulation are similar to sheep’s wool, providing 4 major advantages:

  • Fire resistance
  • Noise reduction
  • Long lasting durability
  • Sustainable


With each of these benefits in mind, Rockwool insulation is not only hard wearing and economical but it is also 97% recyclable, leaving you safe in the knowledge that your insulation is as ethical as it is practical.

In addition to both our sheep’s wool and Rockwool linings, we also use PUNF foam for even more acoustic advantages. PUNF foam is a flexible acoustic barrier concept which provides exceptional performance, especially when used in a van conversion.

Married with one of our state of the art sound system installations courtesy of Rockford Fosgate, is a match made in heaven, for unrivalled acoustics ideal for trips away.

After developing the perfect combination of insulation and acoustics for your van, it is simply a matter of choosing lining boards and carpet, available in a range of colours including: Silver, Smoke, Heather, Graphite, Anthracite, Ocean Blue, Navy Blue, Prussian Blue, Sand, Wheat, Stone and Burgundy.

With an abundance of different linings on offer, Leisure Hubs can provide the ultimate insulation and acoustic preference; paralleling the premium furniture designs and entertainment systems built into your camper, for a complete home away from home.

For more information about van linings or other features of Leisure Hubs conversions, please visit our website.

What is a Rock and Roll Bed?


At Leisure Hubs, we’re all about comfort, whether we’re developing cleverly designed interiors to maximise your space, inserting additional padding into (often hard) roof beds, or adding an integral rain forest shower to a conversion to keep you and your family and friends fresh.

One of the key features of any van conversion, is the rock and roll bed installation.

A good rock and roll bed is the only way to stay comfortable and relaxed when out camping, especially when away for several days at a time; nobody wants to struggle sleeping or experience back pain over a good week.

In the interest of keeping Mum and Dad from moaning all the way through a holiday, we supply only the best bed systems on the market, offering top manufacturers such as Touch of Class, Bebb and Ribb and Cannon Forge.

A Rock and Roll bed allows the back seat of your camper to be converted into a bed with a ‘rock and roll’ action, providing a functional mechanism which transforms in seconds.

Another term you will come across when searching for a rock and roll bed is ‘crash tested’. A crash tested bed does exactly what it says on the tin, it has been tested to remain safe during an accident, leaving your passengers as safe as possible.

Purchasing a bed which is not crash tested is still legal to use but you are running the risk of the seat/bed being unsafe during an accident. Non crash tested beds still have their place in the market though, as they are a much cheaper option and ideal for those who are only using their camper as a 2 berth; allowing both people to sit in the front when traveling and only using the bed at the back when stationary.

Each bed system we supply promises premium comfort and a functional design, with the choice of both crash tested and none crash tested concepts to choose from, depending on your budget and preference.

When considering a Leisure Hubs conversion we offer a range of different options, including rock and roll beds combined with slide rail systems for the ultimate in convenience.

For more information about the features in our conversions please visit our website.

Wild Camping


We’ve covered quite a few of the UK’s camping hotspots so far in our ‘Where to Camp?’ series of blogs. But sometimes, to really experience the great outdoors in its most natural and primitive state, wild camping is the solution.

Wild Camping is simply camping without boundaries, not being confined to the walls, rules and regulations of a campsite.

If you’ve got all or most of the facilities in your campervan then why pay for a campsite?

Granted there are many advantages to using a campsite which exclude the range of facilities, such as the atmosphere and new people you meet on site, but to really get to grips with nature, wild camping is the ultimate freedom. 

Of course, there are some legalities to get around when wild camping. In England, you must ask the permission of the land owner to wild camp, but there are many exceptions, especially if you are situated far away from a local campsite.

Most land owners simply require you to leave the site as you found it, clearing all litter, burying toilet waste, taking into consideration local wildlife, not making too much noise and keeping your stay to one or two nights.

On the other hand, in Scotland, the rich countryside is your oyster, with wild camping being completely legal, although some landowners may enforce certain rules upon their land or remain except from the law.

It’s up to you to respect landowner’s wishes in both England and Scotland as it’s more than likely you’re the one going to the toilet on their property, so maintaining a high level of etiquette and understanding is essential and you should always be prepared to leave on short notice.

Legalities aside, the benefits of wild camping are in abundance, allowing you the unrivalled freedom of pulling up your handbrake near enough anywhere and enjoy the scenery. It also allows you to make the most of your campervan, utilising each of its features rather then opting for the easy option of going to an on site restaurant or communal showers.

Not only do you get to grips with nature but you also keep costs at an all time low, not having to pay for a campsite or its facilities, leaving you extra money in your pocket to spend on important things like premium sausages and real ale.

Leisure Hubs van conversions are a great way to provide all the essentials for wild camping; our built in rain forest shower especially.

VW Transporter LWB T5 4Motion…Sold!


After converting one 4Motion with the full works, we move onto the next; our very own T5 4Motion has been sold to a lucky customer.

We’ve spent the last few weeks converting our customers van to the highest spec, and after putting images online and having it on display in our workshop for a few days as a finished article; we’ve managed to sell our own 4Motion.

Inspired by the design of our latest conversion, we must have impressed our customer, as they’re looking for a full conversion, with all our premium furniture, state of the art technology and of course, the shower!

We can’t wait to start work on the new conversion; nothing beats somebody having control over the design and helping them create their dream conversion.

As soon as we set to work, we’ll be updating our Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and our blog with new images for you all to see the conversion process and elite quality of craftsmanship in each of our conversions.

Leisure Hubs YouTube Channel

From just images alone it can be difficult to get a real understanding of the premium features and craftsmanship that goes into each of our campers.

We’ve recently made a couple of videos and uploaded them to our YouTube channel for you to get a better idea of the conversion service we offer.

Our first video looks at our latest conversion, a customer’s van tailored to his personal needs with no expense spared.


The video looks at the functional build of the T5 4 Motion, with its pop top roof, practical L-shaped work space with Corian work surface and integral appliances, bed with under bed storage, rain forest shower and sumptuous modern finish throughout. 

The second video looks at our Black T5 Transporter, which has been cleverly design to showcase some of our most prestigious features, including the rainforest shower and motorised pop up TV.

At Leisure Hubs we love a challenge, that’s why we don’t stick to the traditional template of standard van conversions. We offer a limitless range of features which you can chop and change to suit your lifestyle, and our videos give a taster of some of what we are capable of, the only limit being your imagination.

So, take a look at our first two promotional videos and tell us what you think. They may even inspire your own design!

Volksworld 2013


2012 was our debut into the vast and exciting world of campervans, conversions and kitchen pods, and after a few exhibitions we’ve fell in love with the buzzing atmosphere and appreciative audience that each show brings.

We’re becoming a regular fixture at various campervan exhibitions across the UK, and this year we intend to display even more innovative designs in both our conversions and kitchen pods.

Volksworld is one of the UK’s leading Volkswagen magazines, providing the latest in everything car and camper related, and the magazine’s annual show is a hive of information, displays, entertainment and stalls, just like the premium publication. 

This year, we’ll be making our first ever appearance at Volksworld, and we’re very proud to be part of one of the biggest and most prestigious Volkswagen exhibitions in the UK.

The show includes live music throughout the day, tech talks, a car park full of people’s prestigious vehicles, car sales and trade stands, as well as us!

We’ll be exhibiting both our show vans and a full range of Camper Pamper kitchen pod designs, including regular crowd pleasers such as the integral surf shower, drop down coffee maker and sumptuous craftsmanship in our natural wood furniture.

If you haven’t yet seen our vans in the flesh/metal, then come and pay us a visit at Volksworld, Sandown Park, Esher, Surrey on the 23rd and 24th March (this weekend), and get a special opportunity to see designer campers at their best.

Roof Bed

Sometimes the capacity of a campervan can be overlooked; when installing furniture and a bed, sometimes you can be under the misconception that your beloved camper will hold an entire family.

With two seats in the front and two in the back (with an expendable bed) the initial impression is that the van can play home to four people.

Unfortunately, that’s not the case with the majority of van conversions as the accurate berth of a campervan should be based on how many the van can sleep rather then transport. 

That’s where a sleeping roof comes in, to gain a true 4 berth campervan, a roof bed is the ideal solution for sleeping a family of 4.

An extension to the traditional pop top roof, a sleeping roof houses a further two people, using an easy to use mechanism which allows for additional space for both people and camping equipment, leaving your camper clutter free.

We’re frequently asked by customers to develop a pop top roof for their conversions. A pop top creates the perfect living space, allowing for additional head room, ideal for cooking and general use.

By adding a roof bed, you are increasing the capacity of the camper two fold, a worthwhile purchase to make when space is already at a premium.

When planning your conversion consider how much your camper can truly hold and think about the benefits an additional roof bed can have on your camper. It is the equivalent of buying a two bedroom house when a four bedroom is just a little bit more!

LeisureNet: Mobile WiFi


At Leisure Hubs we try our best to convert campers in a way which mirrors all the creature comforts you are used to in your home, providing features such as coffee makers, TVs and showers.

Mobile internet has rapidly become an integral part of modern living; life simply wouldn't be the same without access to emails, social networks and video streaming in the palm of your hand.

We understand that for many, internet access is an essential part of people’s lifestyle, even when taking a breaking in the countryside or by the beach, more often then not, life can’t completely be put on hold.

The Leisure Hubs mobile WiFi ‘LeisureNet’ is our solution to maintaining your connection when away, supplying a 3G-based internet system which works similarly to a mobile dongle you’d use with a laptop; allowing you to choose a network (whether it be pay as you go or contract) insert it in your router and begin surfing the web. 

Nothing can parallel the convenience of being able to access the internet from the comfort of a campsite, and you can decide to lock your network or make it open to the public, just like your home router. You can choose to share your network with others and even get people to contribute to your bill; A great way to enjoy social networking, games and videos while on the move.

For more information on our Mobile WiFi service, please visit our website.

Happy Customer


Nothing beats the feeling of supplying one of our customers with a top of the range conversion, and our latest customer is over the moon with his.

A few weeks ago we began plans to convert Mr Fisher’s 4Motion DSG; already a great standard van, we jumped at the chance to provide our customer with a premium conversion with all the luxury features a Leisure Hubs conversion is famed for.

The completed van includes: a pop up 17” swivel mounted TV set into a stylish iced blue Corian work surface, plenty of storage with cabinets with a curved tambour door and soft closing drawers, a 39 litre slide out fridge freezer, Our rainforest shower built into the tailgate with 18 minutes worth of hot running water, TUV rated swivel seats, Reimo pop top roof and roof bed, and a top of the range Webasto diesel heater with automatic timers, to name a few.

The completed conversion cost just £17,000 and provided the van with a complete luxury conversion that sleeps 4 people, the perfect design for family camping holidays and road trips.

We’re very proud of our latest design and we think the pictures speak for themselves. You can also check out our ever growing portfolio of designs on our website.

Nespresso Pixie

The drop down coffee maker appears from furniture with the flick of a switch

It doesn’t take a genius to work out that at Leisure Hubs we love coffee. With conversion deadlines to meet, we’re no stranger to working well into the night, and the perky brown bean manages to maintain our sanity, as well as our decomposing tolerance of each other.

We love each other really! A deep brown puddle of steamy hot coffee can be the perfect morning pick me up when a day filled with adventure is ahead; that’s why we like to install coffee makers in just about everything!

The motorised drop down Nespresso Pixie coffee maker in our Brown T5 Transporter is cleverly placed just inches from the bed, allowing you to wipe the sleep from your eyes, take a shot of espresso and begin heating the frying pan for several rounds of bacon followed by a day in picturesque scenery. 

The Nespresso Pixie is a luxury addition to any conversion, whether it’s recessed into furniture with a motorised mechanism or sitting with the rest of your kitchen utensils.

The Colina Kitchen Pod
Providing fresh coffee with just 25 seconds heating time, the coffee maker is fast and efficient as well as stylish, with a steel handle, aluminium side panels and a choice of six colours and two finishes.

We love the Nespresso Pixie so much that we’ve even added it to our Colina kitchen pod as an option. 

The Colina provides a simple slide out cupboard which plays home to the compact proportions of the coffee maker, allowing the handy utensil to be neatly tucked away after use.

We may have a harmless obsession with the Nespresso Pixie but so far it’s paid off. The more late nights we have working on the vans though, the more we may begin cramming a coffee maker into every nook and cranny!

Campervan Hire



Hiring a campervan leads to a world of exploration, nothing beats the convenience and excitement of being able to pull up the handbrake, spend a day at the beach or stunning British countryside, sleep all night in the safety and comfort of a luxury camper and do the say the next day in another great location.

This kind of freedom cannot be achieved through any other method of travel or accommodation, nothing else allows you to travel and live in comfort using the same vehicle.

Of course not everyone has the space or funds to make a lifetime purchase like a brand new camper, but still love the idea of taking a van away for weeks or even months at a time.

Campervan hire is a popular market, deterring from the social norms of purchasing hotels and transport, it rolls both into one and creates a totally new experience; adventure.

At Leisure Hubs we have some of the most luxurious campervans on the market sitting outside our workshop in Birmingham, so why not let people enjoy them?

We’re offering a brand new campervan hire service which promises a premium travelling experience and a unique service for customers flying in from aboard.

For UK customers hiring a campervan is simple, after a few easy steps you can be on your travels, enjoying our stunning conversion with friends and family.

For customers overseas, hiring a camper in the UK can be a daunting process but after the legalities of international driving licenses and insurance are resolved, we offer a service which allows you to relax as soon as you land.

Situated just a short drive from Birmingham International airport, if you choose Leisure Hubs Campervan Hire, we can pick you up from the airport, hand over the keys to your new home for the next few weeks and point you in the right direction of hundreds of the UK’s best locations.

The beauty of this service really lies in the location; based in Birmingham we are equidistant from the UK’s tourist hot spots. Travelling to London then Cornwall, then Norfolk and back to Birmingham poses no problem when your starting point is central.

With all this in mind, it’s up to you get your UK tour on the way! Maybe you just want luxury accommodation at a festival with friends, take a road trip across the whole of the UK or Europe or maybe fly in from abroad and experience Britain in all its glory; whatever you decide, contact us and take the first step on the road to adventure.

The latest addition: the VW Transporter T5 4Motion


As you may already know, we are selling our first 2 show vans, both of which are brand new, full converted and with barely any miles on the clock, ready for someone to make a special purchase.

As we will soon be waving goodbye to our trusty Campers, we’re saying hello to our latest purchase which is set for a full conversion; a VW Transporter T5 4Motion.

At Leisure Hubs, the focus is on adventure, providing conversions which aid exploration and new experiences with comforting features which provide a home away from home.

The 4Motion adds even more to this experience, providing a 4 wheel drive equivalent to our other vans; allowing you to tackle harsher weather conditions, which the UK has recently become so accustomed to (unfortunately).

The standard van is of course a luxury vehicle in itself with air conditioning, front and rear parking sensors, cruise control, cab comfort pack and Xenon headlights, but as always, we've got to go one step better and give it a full conversion.

As with all our conversions we are aiming yet again to reach new levels of comfort and convenience, combining some of the best aspects of our first two vans to create a complete Leisure Hubs experience.

The van can be expected to feature (but not limited to): appearance pack, tinted side windows, Kenwood VW double din stereo with rear camera, Rockford Fosgate sound system, PUNF insulation, Sound deadening, Altro floor, TV, hob and sink combo, fridge, surf shower, bed and much more.

We are currently advertising this van in the Motorhome and Caravan Trader, on Ebay and on our website, as we are looking to sell earlier than we begin the conversion, giving the customer the freedom to choose a range of features which suit their lifestyle.

If you would like to see more of this van then please visit our website.
