Converting a lorry into a motorhome is no easy feat, but I was up for the challenge. I started by adding a pod to the top of the cab to create an extra sleeping space for 2 so I now have room for a minimum of six people if needed. The pod also provided additional storage space for bedding and other items.
To ensure that everything was up to code for the DVLA, I painted various parts and added new campervan-style stickers. This would ensure that my lorry was properly registered as a motorhome and that I wouldn’t run into any legal issues down the line.
In addition to these modifications, I added water tanks, a generator, and an LPG gas tank to make the motorhome more self-sufficient. I also replaced the back up and over doors with double patio doors for better access and ventilation. And, to make things more comfortable, I added hot and cold running water, which required an LPG domestic combi boiler and a 24V water pump.
To make things safer and more convenient, I also installed 8 24V LED lights for dark nights and security. This would make it easier to see outside the motorhome at night, and would also serve as a deterrent for anyone looking to break in.
Adding a pod to the motorhome was a challenging process, but it was worth it in the end. It allowed me to make the most of the available space and create more sleeping and storage space. Now, with all of these modifications in place, my motorhome is fully-functional and able to provide all the comforts of home, even when I’m on the road.
Overall, the conversion process was time-consuming and required a lot of effort, but it was worth it. It’s allowed me to see more of the world in a unique and comfortable way, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
