Luxury Camper Furniture at Busfest this Weekend

Our new range of luxury camper furniture will allow customer’s to enjoy the installation and conversion process themselves, without having to build there own furniture.

For many, converting is a hobby, but it can be a difficult, time consuming and expensive task. Leisure Hubs understand that the conversion process is as exciting as it is costly; that’s why we’re now designing furniture which you can easily install at home.

On the flip-side, paying for a full conversion complete with appliances is even more expensive, so in the interest of saving money (especially in the current financial climate) buying furniture tailored to your van and installing it by hand is not only easy but economical.

So how do you get started? All you need to begin creating the camper of your dreams is give us a call and book a consultation either face to face or over the phone, we’ll then measure up your van’s interior and discuss with you the exact specifications, finish and appliances you desire.

We will then build furniture to your exact requirements, making sure that it fits flush with your vans interior for an easy install.

We offer an unrivalled range of appliances, real wood veneer and laminate finishes, as well as stunning Corian work tops, so your camper furniture parallels the quality of a modern home kitchen.

Designed by our team of experts from high quality lightweight ply, the furniture comes ready built for a simple install, but we do have plans to design a flat pack variant which can be shipped throughout Europe.

If you would like to transform your van into a luxury camper but are worried about the money you could spend on handing over your beloved vehicle to a converter then look no further; Leisure Hubs deliver a premium design that you can install at home.

Leisure Hubs is displaying its new furniture range at Busfest this weekend (6th - 8th September). We hope to see you all there!

For more information regarding our camper furniture please visit our website or book a consultation over the phone.

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…

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.

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 23^rd and 24^th March (this weekend), and get a special opportunity to see designer campers at their best.

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!

Time to Shine

As another brief reminder and a quick update on how we’re getting on. Both our Camper Van conversions are just getting their final touches before we bury down the hatches and wait for Sunday’s show.

We’re really looking forward to Camper Mart, as it will be a relatively new experience for us having only exhibited at Busfest and the Motorhome and Caravan Show last year, it’s even more exciting this time round as we’ve had more chance to prepare and get our vans in pristine condition.

Also, our Camper Pamper pods are making an appearance, with our brand new 2013 range of colours and some new designs, for those who like their van to be more versatile.

For more information on Camper Mart and how to get tickets then visit their website. If you would like more information about our conversions or Camper Pamper pods please visit either www.leisurehubs.com or www.camperpamper.com. 

Toffee Van Tour

After giving you a guided tour of our last prototype interior we've decided to update you with our latest features for those who couldn't see it in the flesh at the NEC.

Our Toffee Brown T5 makes a serious statement in its design, with quilted leather seats that trend throughout the front and rear of the van and stunning natural wood veneer panelling throughout, the van not only offers an abundance of features but a high quality finish to boot.

As you can see in the picture to the right, there is a range of features tucked away neatly into the curvaceous panelling  As well as integrating masses of storage, the interior also houses a motorised coffee maker, perfect for those early mornings.

Moreover, your morning wouldn't be complete without your daily grooming regime, nobody wants to face the open road or the glorious British countryside with a misplaced hair or designer stubble; so to the right of our leather seating is an all inclusive vanity unit which has everything you need for the morning.

As you can see at the back of the van is the kitchen complete with storage, a Corain work surface, hob and sink combo and top loading fridge – with so much storage on offer the van is ideal for BBQing, with enough room for chairs, fold away table, plates, utensils and of course the hob to compete with the ever changing British weather!

The complete kitchen allows so much versatility when camping, enabling you to cook healthy meals, store fresh food and wash up easily, giving you some of the comforts a modern home kitchen can provide.

With the noted improvements from the previous interior let us know what you think of our current van. Does this interior suit your lifestyle? If not, which features would and what technology would you like to see in the future?

Leisure Hubs Launch!

As the countdown to the Motorhome and Caravan Show commences, we are hard at work making the finishing touches to our brand new designs, ready for our launch on October 16^th.

 Our last outing saw us preview a prototype teak interior, fitted kitchen with Corian work surfaces, stainless steel light fittings, storage including a wardrobe, a sink and hob combo, fridge and integrated shower in the tailgate.

The preview was a big hit; the shower in particular wowed the audience with its practical concept and discreet design. But this was simply the beginning, and with our launch just around the corner we have developed our most inspired design to date.

We can’t give the game away just yet, but each an every feature we display this following Tuesday is ergonomically designed to provide the best in comfort, quality and innovation, made with precision, and to the highest order.

Our new Flickr set shows just some of the craftsmanship that goes into our interiors and is just a sneak peek at what is to come on the 16^th. You can visit these images here:

Leisure Hubs at Busfest

After many long nights and hard work we finally developed two prototype vehicle to be displayed at this year's Busfest.

Dogs enjoyed our integrated shower 

Armed with two VW T5 transporters, an abundance of style and a sprinkle of innovative technology, we set up camp at the annual show in Malvern to display our brand new Leisure Hubs vans and Camper Pamper pods.

It was great to see all our hard work paying off, as both the vans and pods gained a huge reception, with our audience admiring the meticulous attention to detail and luxury contemporary living our concepts had to offer.

Our biggest hit on the day was the hot shower. A simple, stylish and practical design which we recessed into the back of the van which has a number of uses when travelling the open road or staying over at a camp site.

The hot shower is not only great for keeping yourself clean while on your travels but also the ideal solution to cleaning dirty dogs after muddy walks across the countryside; leaving your van clean with minimal fuss.

As the sun began to take its toll on the audience, the shower really came into effect as passers by were simply dying to cool down and test out or latest innovation.

Camper Pamper pods

By the night time, Busfest provided a night show, keeping the campers partying through until morning.

We had an amazing time, receiving great feedback on both of our campers; and this was just the preview!

Our official launch will be at the Motor home and Caravan Show at the NEC Birmingham on October 16th. In the mean time follow us on Twitter, like us on Facebook and check out our Flikr for sneak previews, news and updates on our designs.
