A Nissan Elgrand full conversion from Kinmel Campers transforms your Elgrand into a fully integrated, structurally sound campervan designed for dependable UK and European touring. Rather than offering a partial fit-out or removable furniture kit, we deliver a purpose-built conversion engineered entirely in-house by experienced campervan specialists.

Based in North Wales, Kinmel Campers brings over 30 years of hands-on experience in bespoke campervan conversions. As a result, every build combines intelligent design, premium materials, and real-world practicality. Consequently, you receive a campervan that performs reliably whether you are commuting daily or touring across Europe.

What Is Included in a Nissan Elgrand Full Conversion?

The Nissan Elgrand full conversion equips your vehicle with all the core systems required for touring, daily usability, and extended stays away from home. Importantly, we permanently install and structurally secure every component. Therefore, nothing feels temporary, loose, or improvised.

🛠️ Structural & Interior Foundation

First, we prepare the vehicle shell properly. We begin with:

• Full multi-layer thermal insulation

• Acoustic sound barrier installation

• Vehicle-specific structural ply lining

• Automotive carpet lining (your choice of colour/finish)

• Reinforced touring-grade subfloor and finish

Because insulation directly affects comfort, we treat this stage as critical rather than optional. Consequently, the interior maintains stable temperatures throughout the year. In addition, the acoustic barrier significantly reduces road noise. As a result, long-distance travel becomes quieter and more comfortable.

🍳 Fully Integrated Side Kitchen Unit

Next, we install a professionally built side kitchen unit as a central feature of the conversion.

The kitchen includes:

• Twin gas hob for reliable cooking

• Integrated sink with pumped water supply

• Fresh water tank and waste water tank

• Integrated fridge

• Fully plumbed water system ready to use

• Secure cupboard storage

Unlike basic camper setups, this kitchen does not rely on portable stoves or loose water containers. Instead, we permanently plumb and secure every element. Therefore, you can cook, clean, and travel without additional preparation.

🛏️ Rock & Roll Bed System

Sleeping comfort defines a true campervan. For this reason, every Nissan Elgrand full conversion includes a professionally installed rock & roll bed system.

The rock & roll bed:

• Functions as structured seating during the day

• Converts into a spacious sleeping platform at night

• Offers upholstery colour options

• Includes reinforced structural mounting

• Provides practical under-bed storage

We secure the bed directly to reinforced mounting points within the vehicle shell. Consequently, stability remains predictable during braking and cornering. Meanwhile, the conversion mechanism allows quick transformation between seating and sleeping positions.

As a result, you gain flexibility without sacrificing durability.

🔋 Independent Electrical System

In addition, the Nissan Elgrand full conversion includes a dedicated electrical system built around a high-quality lithium leisure battery.

The system includes:

• Lithium leisure battery with superior usable capacity

• Split-charge relay (charges while driving)

• Battery monitoring read-out panel

• Fused distribution board

• LED interior lighting

• USB charging ports and 12V outlets

Because the leisure system operates independently from the starter battery, you protect engine reliability. Furthermore, lithium technology provides faster charging and longer lifespan compared to traditional alternatives.

We route and label all wiring professionally. Therefore, maintenance remains straightforward and safe.

Optional Add-Ons (Not Included in Standard Package)

Although the standard Nissan Elgrand full conversion includes all core systems, you may choose to enhance your build further.

Diesel Heater Installation — Optional

A diesel heater is not included in the base package. However, you can add a professionally fitted diesel heater if you plan to tour in colder conditions.

When installed, the heater:

• Draws fuel directly from the vehicle tank

• Distributes warm air evenly throughout the living space

• Extends usability into winter months

Therefore, you can convert your Elgrand into a true all-season campervan when required.

Elevating Pop-Top Roof Conversion

Furthermore, you may choose to install a professionally fitted pop-top roof. This upgrade increases internal headroom and improves airflow. In addition, it can provide optional roof sleeping space depending on configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions

❓ What defines a true Nissan Elgrand full conversion?

A true Nissan Elgrand full conversion permanently integrates insulation, a rock & roll bed, kitchen, electrics, plumbing, and ventilation into one engineered system. In contrast, temporary camper kits rely on removable equipment. Therefore, a full conversion delivers long-term reliability and safety.

❓ Is a diesel heater included in the package?

No. Diesel heater installation remains optional. However, you can add it if you plan to travel during colder months.

❓ Can I customise the interior?

Yes. You can choose upholstery colours, board finishes, and flooring styles. Meanwhile, we maintain structural integrity and safety standards throughout.

❓ How long does the conversion take?

Once scheduled, most Nissan Elgrand full conversions require approximately 3–4 weeks. However, build time may vary depending on selected upgrades.

❓ Can the conversion support off-grid camping?

Yes. Because the lithium leisure system, plumbed water setup, and insulation operate independently, you can tour off-grid for extended periods.

❓ Can I still use the Elgrand for daily driving?

Absolutely. The layout preserves everyday practicality. Therefore, you can commute normally while keeping full touring capability available at any time.
