Ideal Second Car
The Taransay is one of our unique campervan conversions, it has two single rear seats, with the option of making them into a double bed. With the kitchen and storage located in the back of the campervan, the Taransay is a campervan conversion that has a great communal feel around the front seats and tables. Based on a short wheel base this campervan conversion can make for an ideal second car.
In mid 2024 VW will be ending production of the T6.1, so we are sorry to say that we are currently unable to take any new campervan orders built on a new VW van.
However, in an exciting new venture, Volkswagen and Ford have now joined forces to design and manufacture a brand new van. Ford have already launched their version from this partnership – the All New Transit Custom V710. Early in 2025 VW will be launching theirs – the new Transporter T7.
As our conversions on the VW T6.1 wind down we are beginning to work on designs and layouts for our new VW T7 and Transit Custom campervans – as soon as we have more details, pictures and videos we’ll update our website straight away.
Whilst our new Ford Transit Custom and VW T7 campervans are under development, the information below will remain as it was for our VW T6.1 Taransay campervan – we hope it will give you a very good idea of the level of our standard features aswell as detailing some of the added options.
Click a section below for more details.
Our standard conversion specification includes everything you need to set off on a trip – we don’t leave out vital elements, our campervans are ready for the road.
The key standard features of our Taransay conversion include:
Elevating Roof
Top quality Jerba Campervans own design rear elevating roof which closes to a maximum height of 2 metres. Fully removable and breathable Ventile cotton canvas, with stainless steel parts – only fitted to Jerba conversions, we don’t sell our pop top roof to any other converters. Fitting a solid high top roof is also an option on our Taransay.
Seats and Beds
Belted seating for 4, tested by Jerba to full Type Approval safety regulations, converting with swivelled front seats into either 2 single beds each measuring 60cm x 185cm, or an option of one double bed measuring 120cm x 200cm. With integrated headrests and contoured seating these French made RIB seats are comfy for travel and sleeping. The VW cab seats are fitted with VW factory swivels to turn and face the rear.
Please note that our current Type Approval safety certification is for our VW T6.1 campervan range, we are at the moment working with Ford to also gain Type Approval for all layouts in our All New Transit Custom campervans.
Cupboards and Tables
The design of our Taransay furniture at the rear has a full height counter that gives a real home kitchen feel. We don’t simply assemble premade furniture kits, we scribe, cut and edge band in house and treat every camper van as an individual project.
Fridge, Hob and Sink
The Taransay is designed with the same worktop height as a standard domestic kitchen, ample counter space, a three burner SMEV gas hob with sink alongside and a 51 litre fridge that is raised up for easy access. All our furniture is scribed, cut and built in house by us using lightweight Ilomba Poplar plywood covered each side with German Egger laminate. We fit a 38 litre water tank on the vehicle underside to free up your cupboard space and give you an ample supply.
Gas & Electrics
A fully sealed steel gas box, top grade electrical parts by Sargent and individually tested certification from qualified gas and electrical engineers are standard in our Taransay conversion. A manufacturer factory fitted leisure battery system with a top quality Varta AGM battery gives excellent 12v storage and longer battery life.
Insulation & Flooring
We don’t scrimp on insulation and fill the van cavities with Non Itch to keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Our birch ply floor is made from 18mm thick insulated sandwich board which we cover in a top quality commercial grade non slip vinyl – it looks great!

The All New Ford Transit Custom is available in two lengths;
The height of the van original low roof van straight from the Ford factory is 1.98m, however, the fitting on of the pop top elevating roof adds slightly to that giving a finished converted height for the Tiree, Cromarty, Sanna and Taransay of 2.0m.
The width and ground clearance of both the short and long base Transit Customs is identical;
It’s always important to understand exactly how much you can carry in your campervan, as overloading your vehicle can be dangerous and is of course illegal. All vehicle manufacturers publish a variety of weights and payload information for their vehicles and they are usually described as follows:
All our New Ford Transit Custom campervan conversions are all built upon the Ford in house designed Camper Donor vehicle. This vehicle is by built Ford to have a maximum gross vehicle weight of 3200kg.
How We Calculate Our Payloads
All our calculations are based upon our standard Tiree, Taransay, Cromarty, Sanna and Jura conversions and the overall weight of each of these is the total of the original Unladen Weight, published by the manufacturer, plus the extra weight that we add on when converting the van.
In addition to this extra conversion weight, it is required under European legislation, that when publishing payload figures we must also include the weight of the following items in our final sums – basically these are must haves for your campervan to be used for what it’s been designed!
Full tank of fresh water – based upon 38 litres
Two full LPG Propane 3.9kg canisters
230v mains lead – 10 metre.
Remember that any additional manufacturers’ factory vehicle options you have chosen on your base van, as well as any other internal conversion options, will of course add to the overall weight and so reduce your overall payload, however, as an average passenger is around 75kg, then even with three or four passengers you will still have a considerable payload to take everything you’ll need for your trips away!
As we are currently working on our new Ford Transit Custom campervans we are unable as yet to publish any final weights and payloads. As soon as we have final figures to share then we will publish them here.
