Looking to convert a panel van to a private crew cab...

Hi,

I am planning to convert a panel van to crew cab and use it for commuting to office and use for private and social commuting with family. Can you please suggest the process involved?

Thanks

Hi Mathew,

I'd highly recommend you employ a professional conversion company to do all the work and certification documentation for you, as it can be quite an involved process. Certain standards in terms of safety and structure will be necessary and the vehicle is most likely subject to inspection after conversion. The registration details will then have to be altered and of course there will be tax and insurance implications. 

In short, we're not experts in carrying out such a conversion, and we'd advocate for using one to save yourself hassle in the long run.
