Extra Information: Skylark has a huge amount of storage beneath the fixed rear bed, with space for bikes, inflatable SUPs or kayaks, wetsuits, muddy boots, rucksacks and anything else you may want to bring! Skylark's interior was lovingly crafted by Matt at Bowland Camper Conversions. She is Matt and Amy's own personal camper van and was never originally intended to be a rental or show van; she holds a very special place in their hearts and they hope you love her as much as they do! The worktops are solid English walnut, created from a single slab of timber, the drawer fronts are American black walnut and all of the cabinetry was hand built in birch ply. Copper accents, patterned fabrics and the warm colours of the Spanish style tiles make Skylark a wonderful cosy home from home. Open all the doors and let the sound of birdsong and the smell of wildflowers drift through on a summer's day, or shelter from the rain and snuggle up with a book when the British weather turns; either way you'll be guaranteed a relaxing retreat from the world.

Conversion Story: Skylark started life as a builder's van and was then used to transport motorcycles from Yorkshire to Scotland. She was bought by Matt and Amy in January 2020 and gradually converted over the following 9 months. Her maiden voyage was a 3 week road trip around Scotland's highlands and islands with Matt, Amy and their 3 dogs and Scotland remains one of their favourite places to visit. Matt and Amy poured their heart and soul into this build and are never quite done adding little tweaks and personal touches.
