Crafted by Upon-a-Van Conversions with the upmost care and consideration. She is a little different to your typical VW Transporter conversion and features a spec that would rival any camper. She is a fully unique conversion designed especially to maximise comfort and space without compromising on storage. Her panoramic poptop and awning give you the feeling of a much bigger van, whilst still being able to fit in a standard parking space. Juliet really is your ideal van for an adventure, wherever you're planning on visiting! <b>About the Owner:</b> Hi, my name is Will and I am the Director and founder of Upon-a-Van Conversions. My wife Sophie and I love van-life and I first got the conversion bug when converting a VW Crafter, which we named Upon-a-Van, after our local town, Stratford-upon-Avon. As the son of a builder, who also happens to run his own business in that trade, I was introduced to the idea of high-quality craftsmanship from a young age and picked up the basis for the skills required to create beautiful handcrafted campervans. <br/><br/>I previously worked for Quirky Campers, spreading the word and finding owners who could share their beautiful campervans and have also rented out another van through Quirky.<br/><br/>I'd be absolutely delighted for you to hire Juliet and will ensure I go above and beyond to maximise your enjoyment and convenience from booking to pick up, throughout your holiday all the way to drop off.
