What makes/ model make the best conversions for a 3.5ton horseboxes?

If anyone has photo's of their conversions, I'd love to see them

Started with this (Vauhall Movano chassis)

Cut it about a a bit

Fitted a bit of stuff

Slapped a bit of paint on it

And now it looks like this

That looks lovely! Really good job!

In the back, is that that a little bit of living area you have?

Paddy-Monty - did you do that yourself or did you get a company to do it.

Am looking for a company to convert a Master or Movano van-type. Am looking at GC Horseboxes in Leics but can't find any reviews.

Yes, just somewhere to sit with extra storage. Tack lockers are behind the two doors.

Did it myself over 3 month period when not doing full time job.

I like the idea of having some seating area, I've not seen many van conversions with a living area.

How much would you say the conversion cost (not including the cost of the van)?

 

[PaddyMonty]

Cost of materials was approx £3500 although that does include a lot of high quality expensive paint (acid etch, two pack primer, base coat, two pack lacquer).
Lorry has been independantly valued at £18,500.
