Conversion Story: ‘In 2018, a significant moment came when we decided to upgrade to a larger vehicle. Our motivation? Welcoming our first child into the world. It dawned on us that we required a more spacious vehicle to comfortably accommodate all the baby essentials during our travels.

At first, we thought of an SUV or something similar but fate took an unexpected turn when we visited the dealership one morning and laid eyes on what later would be known as Lil' Sebaya. Following a brief test drive, it became clear how effortlessly manageable she was and how perfectly she aligned with our needs. And so, we made the decision that Lil’ Sebaya was going to be a part of our family!

As the years passed, and our second child arrived, our dream for a lil’ house on wheels grew stronger. When the COVID-19 pandemic swept through, we saw an opportunity to optimise our time at home. And so, our journey into the world of conversions commenced and we embarked on the transformation of Lil' Sebaya into a fully loaded small house on wheels. From the moment we acquired her, we immersed ourselves in learning everything there was to know about executing a successful conversion. With my hubby’s background in electrical engineering and a keen interest in carpentry, he combined his skills to craft a high-standard result. The process wasn't just about converting a vehicle; it was a labour of love, a blend of expertise, and an exploration of creativity that brought our vision to life. Lil’ Sebaya is a delightful companion for your adventures! This cosy haven on wheels is your ticket to endless moments of joy and exploration. With its compact yet inviting interior, it's a warm embrace after a day of exploring new adventures.'
