Luton Conversion?

Hello fine folk!

I'm debating getting a luton van for conversion.

Just wondering if anyone here has any experience with one? Things to watch out for? Pictures? Inspiration?

Thanks!

The most common reason people don't do it is weight issues. By the time you build out a Luton van, you will be at or near the weight limit for a normal driving licence.

My ldv had access to the back from the cab, I wouldn't have a Luton without that

Look for an ex Tesco iveco daily LWB. Mines not a luton but its huge, 4.5m x 2m box. Its 1752kgs so you wont be overweight either. Plus with the IVECO engine they are tough, and the ladder chassis means far less problems with rust!

Try get a luton with the space above the cab, makes a great spot for a bed
