I then spotted The Ply Guys online and loved what they were doing but assumed they would be down in Cornwall where a lot of companies seem to be based. I was pleasantly surprised to find they're based in Scotland only a 40min drive from me so it was a no brainer to get in touch to see what was possible.

I feel I have to include a disclaimer here now, this has been a sponsorship/collaboration. I like to be transparent in these regards.
That said, I only work with companies/brands whose products I like and have personalities I get on well with. The Ply Guys ticked both boxes!
Firstly the products really are top tier but I was really impressed with the characters there, they are all passionate about the work they do, the sports they partake in and other hobbies they might do too. I felt really taken care of and witnessed the same treatment to other visitors so it was nice to know I wasn't getting preferential treatment.
Because the systems are modular and can be built ahead of time the installations don't take too long so even if Scotland is far to travel, they'll get you on the road quickly saving costs time-wise.
They obviously do the usual vans and vehicles but can do bespoke work if you have a particular vehicle or space that's not listed on their site, Hamish and the team love doing unique work so I'm sure they'd love to talk with you if you had an interesting project idea.
I'm looking forward to getting out and about in my van and I'll post updates as I spend more time in it.

What a great build! Looks like a worry free, low-maintenance setup that you can count on whenever you need to

What a splendid conversion, impressive stuff. It's great to see a really functional, flexible and well put togther conversion that is not all over the top, blingy and super expensive. Well done to The Ply Guys!

An excellent build! The Ply Guys certainly know what they're doing :) Looking forward to seeing the finishing touches and the adventures to come!

After doing a conversion that you saw years ago in cumbernauld - id say this is the perfect conversion! All the lessons I learnt from spending 100 nights in mine, this is the answer to everything! It's perfect!

Really clever conversion, hopefully see you in even more wild places now

They will probably be stretch bolts on the subframe and should be replaced probably

Awesome video Ali! And very cool set up from The Ply Guys!

What a fantastic company with really ingenious, well thought-out units. Great to see it tailor-made for the customer, rather than the usual "where's the flat screen going to go" bollocks. Nice work Ply Guys and good luck Ali on your future adventures. I'll be watching...
