Listen now
Description
Jon is a graphic designer with a history of interesting mechanically oriented projects - including building a Triumph kit car from the chassis up.  He’s now on his third van conversion, a Renault Traffic purchased as an unfinished project.  The van, Sylvester, is now finished and was recently featured in an article in Campervan magazine. Jon talks about making a medium size van feel far more spacious, adding upcycled vintage details to the conversion and his recent experiences in renting out his van.  Stay tuned particularly for creative conversion ideas with copper tubing and the charming awning his wife made for the van.
