Thinking of converting a VW T5 into a campervan myself. Anyone know where I can get the base units ready made, or is self converting a non starter?

If I do convert it myself how would I fare insurance wise?

Try these people

http://www.uk-motorcaravans.co.uk/

There are a lot more convertors out there not sure if they supply DIY, but try a web search.

A very usefull book is one by Lindsay Porter 'The camper conversion manual' or 'How to convert Volkswagen BUS or VAN to camper' the web site is shown as

http://www.veloce.co.uk/shop/products/productDetail.php?prod_id=V245&p rod_group=Caravanning%20&%20Camping&

I can't see a problem with DIY conversion re, insurance, there are a lot of VW campers that have been 'DIYd'

Fitting the units yourself would give you great satisfaction, and save you a bucketfull of dosh. But be aware you will have to have a 'corgi' registered type gas fitter to connect your gas lines.
