discover the Taransay

Compact camper, Spacious interior.

Most campervans put the kitchen along the side. The Taransay puts it at the rear, a generous full-height kitchen counter, with a three-burner hob, combined sink, and a raised 51-litre fridge at counter height for easy access. The result is a layout that feels noticeably more like a proper kitchen and less like a van with a hob bolted to the wall.

Up front, the two swivelling cab seats turn to face the rear, giving four people a genuinely comfortable social space around the tables. There’s room to sit, eat, and spend an evening in without feeling cramped, something the Taransay does better than any other layout in the Transporter range.

At night, the two 60cm wide RIB rear seats fold to form two single beds, each 185cm long, with options to slide together to form a 120cm double. Add the optional pop-top roof/ bed and you sleep four comfortably. Add the optional toilet cubicle, a rear wardrobe converted to an enclosed toilet space, and you have a genuinely self-sufficient short wheelbase camper.

“Compact on the outside. Surprisingly capable inside. This is the Taransay.”

Spec & Options

Campervan Features.

Full details of our standard specification, optional extras, and the exciting new features available with the Volkswagen T7 and Transit Custom base vehicles.

Every Taransay is built to order at our North Berwick workshop. Spec choices are confirmed with you before your build slot begins.

Included as standard
Standard Campervan Features

Our standard Taransay conversion includes everything you need to set off on a trip — we don’t leave out vital elements. Your VW T6.1 campervan is ready for the road.

Belted seating for 4, tested to full Type Approval safety regulations. Two French-made RIB rear seats convert into twin singles (60cm × 185cm) or, with the optional slide system, form a double bed (120cm × 200cm). VW factory swivels on both cab seats and integrated headrests for comfort in travel and sleep.

Our exclusive in-house rear pop top elevating roof, closing to a maximum 2m in height. Breathable Ventile cotton canvas with stainless steel components — only fitted to Jerba conversions. A solid high-top roof is also available as an alternative on the Taransay.

Make it yours
Optional Campervan Features

We offer a wide range of optional extras on the Taransay. Explore some popular options below.

Toilet Cubicle

We can adapt the Taransay layout to replace the rear tall cupboard with a fully enclosed toilet cubicle — giving you a totally self-sufficient camper.

Elevating Roof Double Bed

Optional roof bed (112cm wide, up to 150kg) suitable for 2 adults or children — perfect for families or extra guests.

Cassette Toilet

Lightweight, easy-access cassette toilet that stores discreetly out of sight when not in use.

Awning Rails, Awnings & Sunshades

Discreet awning rail for quick attachment of freestanding awnings or sunshades. Larger wind-out awnings also available.

Leather Upholstery

Upgrade driver, passenger and rear seats to full leather. Choose from a selection of colours and stitch patterns.

Roof Rails & Roof Rack

Integrated rails with load capacity up to 100kg — carry kayaks, paddleboards or roof boxes even with the elevating mechanism.

Solar Panel

High-efficiency solar panel system keeps the leisure battery topped up — true off-grid freedom without driving or hook-up.

Webasto Thermo Top Evo

Blown hot air and continuous hot water from a diesel-fuelled heat exchanger — with optional rear shower.

Double Bed Option

A slide mechanism brings the twin rear seats together at night, converting into a 120cm × 2m double bed — perfect for couples.

Solid High Top Roof

Prefer a fixed solid high top instead of a pop-top elevating roof? On the Taransay this is no problem — full standing height inside.

Grill or Warming Oven

Add a grill if you can't go without your toast or crispy bacon — note it will cost a little cupboard storage.

Bike Rack

Versatile fold-down bike rack carrying up to 4 bikes on a tailgate or 2 bikes on double rear doors. Easy to use, no removal required.

Slide Window Midge Screen

Bespoke midge screens made to fit T6.1 rear slide windows. £5 from every sale is donated to ShelterBox.

Safe Box

Discreetly hidden 3mm steel safe with 8-lever lock. Large enough to store an iPad, passports and other valuables.

Wallas Diesel Hob & Heater

Gas-free camping with a single diesel fuel source — easy-clean glass surface, more boot space and reduced condensation.

★★★★★

"After a recommendation from friends we took the plunge in February 2025 and bought a brand new Cromarty camper van from Jerba. It proved to be one of the best decisions we have ever made and we have spent the last year travelling around the UK and Europe. The Van has been very reliable and Jerba have always responded immediately to any questions that we have had. We would recommend Jerba without any reservation."

★★★★★

"We found Jerba at the NEC Campervan Show (they were the only stand we made a second visit to), in October. In March we went to visit their workshop to look at a couple of second hand Jerba's they were selling on behalf of their customers, unfortunately the layouts weren't suitable for us. However they did have one in mid-build available (based on the new Ford Transit) and their engineer spent a good hour talking us through what he was doing and why, which sold us! We have since had several trips away (including 3 weeks in Europe) very successfully. Yes we had a couple of minor snags (as you'd expect in a custom built vehicle) but Jerba has been very responsive in sorting out fixes, etc. This is why in our view if you're buying a camper van, size, layout, etc. are important but of equal importance is the reputation of the converter and Jerba have lived up to (and exceeded) the reputation we found amongst other Jerba owners."

★★★★★

"I’ve been a customer for 10 years and am constantly surprised by the high level of service I get from Jerba - always knowledgeable and helpful. I had an electrical issue and within a minute Ross had given me accurate and helpful technical advice. Thank you. The width and depth of knowledge and helpfulness found at Jerba is rare and precious."
