The J-Pod is a new addition to our range of campervan layouts that offers the maximum in flexibility.
The design features an easy removable kitchen & storage unit that is fully usable both inside or outside your van – by linking directly to the van for electric power and water supply, we maximise the cupboard storage space and cooking facilities whilst giving you more hours of leisure battery time and litres of drinking water than you’d ever expect from a campervan removable unit.

You can use the J-Pod in Four Different Ways
Full Unit in the Van – with the J-Pod unit safely secured into the van you’ll find handy made to measure fold up tables at either end, giving a perfect height eating with the swivelled driver seat and providing ideal extra space to the rear. Linked up to the 38 litre water tank and full leisure battery system both located on the van and to the LPG supply in the unit itself, you’ll be able to live comfortably with cooking and washing facilities to hand.
Half in Half Out – the kitchen unit splits into two, one part with the sink and one part with the hob. Choose which you leave in the van and which you leave at home, or perhaps place one in your awning once you’ve arrived at your destination. The sink unit is built to house an optional 21 litre Dometic Tropicool portable coolbox which simply plugs in at the back of the cupboard – keeping food fresh and cold without running out of battery power won’t be an issue.
All in the Awning – outside connections fitted to the van allow the whole J-Pod kitchen unit to be taken outside and just hooked up to your van water supply, the 12v leisure battery system and the 230v – you’ll then be able to lock the van without any trailing leads and hoses snagging the doors. Great in hot weather to keep cooking heat and smells out of your van or for perhaps keeping precious items locked and secure in the van whilst you’re away or asleep.
Empty Van or Car for Five People – choose the option of the VW factory fitted removable rear seats for three, then simply remove the J-Pod unit at leave it at home, but still keep a full 12v electric leisure supply, LED lighting and 230v hook up. With the option of an elevating roof and beech slatted roof bed you could still sleep in comfort in the J-Pod van – to make life even cosier there’s also an option of adding a Webasto hot blown air diesel fired parking heater.

Campervan Conversion Features
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 Tiree conversion include:
Elevating Roof
Top quality Jerba Campervans own design elevating roof with a maximum closed height of 2 metres, fully removable and breathable Ventile cotton canvas, stainless steel parts and locking closure – only fitted to Jerba conversions, we don’t sell our pop top roof to anyone else. A solid high top roof option is also available on the Tiree.
Seats and Beds
Belted seating for 4 (option of 5) tested by Jerba to full Type Approval safety certification, converting into wide bed measuring 120cm x 186cm (with option of 129cm wide and 200cm long). Intergrated headrests, contoured seats and flat bed make for comfy travel and sleeping. Cab seats fitted with VW factory swivels to turn and face the rear.
Cupboards and Tables
Side and high level units provide very generous storage that’s accessible with the bed up or down. We don’t simply assemble premade furniture kits, we scribe, cut and edge band all our furniture in house which lets us work with you to create a layout that suits your needs.
Fridge, Sink and Hob
An easy to use kitchen area that contains a wide two burner SMEV gas hob with matching glass lid sink, located above a 51 litre fridge that is complete with freezer box. A 38 litre underslung water tank maximises your storage space and gives a plentiful supply.
Gas & Electrics
A fully sealed steel gas box, top grade Sargent electrical system and individually tested certification from qualified gas and electrical engineers are standard in our Tiree T6 conversion. Top quality VW Varta AGM factory fitted leisure battery system ensures excellent 12v storage and longer battery life.
Insulation & Flooring
With fully insulated bonded birch plywood floor with and side cavity filling Non Itch cavity insulation we keep you as warm as we can. Our commercial grade non slip vinyl flooring is as tough as it comes, is simple to wipe clean and looks great.
- Awning Rails, Awnings and Sunshades – to attach any awning to the side of your T6 then you’ll first need an awning rail. The rail we use blends in to match the van and we stock a small range of high quality free standing awnings and sunshades.
- Bike Rack – an easy fold down bike rack system that can carry up to four bikes with a tailgate or two bikes with double rear doors. No need to remove the rack when it’s not in use.
- Cassette Toilet – simple to use and lightweight to handle, we design all our conversions so that the toilet is very easy to access and can always be simply stored out of sight.
- Grill or Warming Oven – if you can’t be without your toast or crispy bacon then a grill may be a must for you – but remember that it will be at the cost of cupboard storage space. You can easily make toast though on our Wallas diesel fuelled hob option, so that’s worth a look!
- Leather Upholstery – change the look and feel of your campervan with full leather seating on the cab and the rear seats.
- 2 Metres (6ft 6) Long Bed – for taller customers we offer an increase in the length of the rear bed to 2 metres (6ft 6) in all of our conversions.

- Roof Rails and Roof Rack for Elevating Roofs – with strength carrying capacity of up to 100kg it’s possible to carry a decent load on the elevating roof – two sea kayaks for instance.
- Safe Box – with 3mm solid steel sides and a high quality 8 lever lock, our safe boxes are always securely located fully out of sight. Easily big enough for an ipad and other essentials to be hidden away.
- Solar Panel – 100 Watt Roof Mounted Solar Panel – gives you great independence in the summer months away from a mains supply or the need to drive in order to recharge the leisure batteries.
- Solid High Top Roof – if you’d prefer a solid high top roof instead of an elevating roof on your campervan, then with our Tiree, Cromarty and Taransay conversions this isn’t a problem.
- Soft Thermoflex Lining to Beds – this internal lining layer not only makes your bed softer but also allows air to move beneath the fabric and quickly dry out any condensation.
- Rear Belted Seat for Three Passengers and a Wider Bed – turn your Tiree van into a fully seat tested approved 5 seater without loosing your swivelling single cab seats – and enjoy a wider double bed.
- Wallas Diesel Fuelled Combined Hob & Heater – for a gas free camping experience try the diesel fuelled hob & hot air heating all in one option – enjoy more boot storage space, an easy clean glass surface, a single fuel source, no gas worries and reduced condensation. There are plenty of positives!
- Waste Water Tank – there are definite pro’s and con’s to having a waste water tank on your campervan, we hope our explanation will help you decide!
- Webasto Airtop – Hot Air Heating and Cool Blowing Fan – to use your campervan all year around you’ll often find a hot air heater is a valuable friend – we can also adapt heating systems into cooling fans for the hotter summer days.
