Why choose ready-built furniture for your campervan?

Building your own campervan gives you the freedom to create a space that suits you. But doing a self-build doesn’t mean you have to make every cupboard, bed and kitchen unit yourself.

Ready-built furniture lets you take on the parts of the conversion you enjoy, while leaving the furniture construction to someone else.


Spend less time building furniture


Making campervan furniture involves more than cutting a few sheets of plywood. There’s measuring, planning, cutting, assembling and checking that everything opens and works as it should.

If you’re fitting your build around work and family life, those jobs can take up a lot of weekends.

Choosing ready-built units means the furniture arrives assembled. You still need to plan your layout and secure it properly in your van, but you can skip the furniture-making stage.


You don’t need a woodworking workshop


Building furniture from scratch needs tools, somewhere to work and space to store materials while you build.

Ready-built furniture can be useful if you’re working on your driveway, borrowing tools or simply don’t want to invest in equipment for one conversion.

There’s no flat-pack assembly either - the units are already built when you collect them.


Choose the pieces you need


Not every camper needs a full set of furniture.

You might want a sliding bed and a compact kitchen pod for weekends away. Or you might need a larger kitchen and extra storage for longer trips.


Our modular approach lets you choose individual pieces to suit your layout. Check each unit’s measurements against your van, allowing room for the bed to extend, cupboards to open and people to move around comfortably.


Make the finish your own


Trekvana furniture is made from 15mm lightweight poplar plywood and supplied in its natural wood finish.

That gives you the choice of how it looks in your camper. You can paint it to suit your colour scheme or choose a suitable clear wax/oil/varnish to keep the plywood visible.


Allow time for preparation and finishing, following the instructions for whichever products you choose.


Know what’s included


Our furniture is ready-built, but it isn’t a complete camper conversion.


Appliances and cushions aren’t included, and we don’t offer fitting as such (we will help you load it into your van and secure it for travelling of course).


Choosing any appliances before buying your kitchen furniture will help you check dimensions, ventilation and installation requirements.


How collection works


Our furniture is available for collection from East County Galway. We don’t offer shipping, so collection needs to be part of your build plan.


Before travelling, check the dimensions of the pieces you’re collecting and make sure they’ll fit through your vehicle’s doors and into the available space.


Collection is available by appointment. Arrange your collection with us before setting off.


A self-build with a head start


You can still create a camper that feels like your own without making every piece from scratch.


Ready-built furniture gives you a starting point: assembled beds, kitchens and storage that you can finish and incorporate into your own layout.
