Coniston - FOR SALE
Coniston is our 4th campervan build and we bought her in April 2021 just after lockdown restrictions had eased. We bought her from a great dealer in Derby who had her straight from ATS who we could tell had looked after her well.
Coniston has allowed us to experiment with colour a bit more and try some new copper designs such as a brighter and more industrial looking ceiling light. We also developed a jointless cooper tap by using a pipe bender which has kept it simpler and less likely to ever get damaged or leak.
We also included more oak sections to create a country cottage feel including a pippy oak fronted pull out table, oak fronted bed and oak bed end.
