How can I prepare my camper for a weekend mountain biking?
Get away from it all with a fully-supported MTB trip in the company of your mates.
Accessing your favourite routes in style and comfort
The Custom Shop team count themselves lucky to be based within easy reach of some of the best downhill and mountain riding in the country. We love taking a trip across the Mersey for a weekend of mountain biking in North Wales, and know the importance of keeping gear and rider happy.
Let’s get this straight: there are a range of ways to get your bike to the mountain, but we think that nothing beats a fully-spec’d van for functionality, comfort and style. A well designed camper conversion offers ideal storage for bikes, tools and nutrition, and nothing beats getting to the bottom of a muddy run and knowing you don’t have to worry about dismantling your kit for want of space.
So, how do I prepare my camper for mountain biking?
We think there are a couple of things you can do to make sure your camper conversion is the perfect partner for your MTB adventures.
Storage: We love this DIY slide out bike rack from the guys at Far Out Ride. Why fuss with a roof or boot-mounted rack when you can keep your trusty steed safe and sound inside your vehicle!
Cleaning: Okay, this isn’t bike specific, but before fitting a pressure washer why not make sure you can rinse off? This surf shower from Leisure Hubs is an awesome way to harness gravity to give yourself a refreshing blast, it’s up to you to find out how to heat the water!
Sleeping: Sometimes a single day just doesn’t give you enough time to nail that perfect line. We get it: so why not make sure your camper conversion is ready for a night under the stars? When you and your mates’ gear has filled the van, the only way is up, and a roof tent is the ideal choice.
The sky is the limit
A custom camper conversion provides the ultimate base from which to launch your MTB adventures. We love a night under the stars of Snowdonia after a day on the trails, drinking our way through the mini fridge and replenishing expended calories.
Mountain biking is the perfect excuse to get your adrenaline-fuelled hit of the great outdoors, and a well-equipped van is the perfect companion to support your passion and help you access and enjoy some the most beautiful places around.
