Ford Custom RS Campervan Essentials
The Ford Custom RS Campervan is a versatile conversion based on the Ford Transit Custom chassis, designed to function as both a daily vehicle and a leisure retreat. It features a compact 4.97-metre length and a 3200kg MTPLM, offering between two and four berths. The model is distinguished by its aggressive RS exterior styling, including body kits and alloy wheels, alongside a high-specification interior featuring a side kitchen and pop-top roof.
- Berth capacity: 2 to 4 people
- External length: 4.97 metres
- Maximum Technical Permitted Laden Mass (MTPLM): 3200kg
- Payload allowance: 550kg
- Layouts: Side Kitchen, Pop-Top Roof, and Rear Rock and Roll Bed options
Worth knowing: Storage capacity may be restricted during extended off-grid travel. The premium styling package results in a higher price point than standard conversions.
Buying a Ford Custom RS Campervan
Who it suits
- Drivers seeking a sporty aesthetic that differs from traditional campervan designs.
- Small families or couples requiring a vehicle that fits into standard parking spaces.
- Users who need a dual-purpose vehicle for commuting and weekend adventures.
Reasons to consider it
- Refined car-like driving experience with advanced driver-assist technologies.
- High-specification interior with a swivel passenger base for dining.
- Compact dimensions and a 550kg payload for practical daily use.
What to check
- Inspect the quality of the hand-crafted cabinetry and bespoke upholstery.
- Test the operation of the pop-top roof and the condition of the scenic canvas.
- Check the functionality of the dual-burner hob, fridge, and LED mood lighting.
- Verify the presence and output of the integrated solar panel for off-grid use.
Worth knowing: Confirm the specific engine variant as fuel economy depends on the EcoBlue unit fitted. Verify if the rear seating is a RIB bed or a rock-and-roll system, as both are mentioned in conversion specs.
Compare the Ford Custom RS Campervan with similar models
| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ford Custom RS Campervan | 4 | 3200 kg | 4.97 m | £35,000 to £65,000 |
| Ford Transit Custom | 4 | 3200 kg | 4.97 m | £25,000 to £75,000 |
| Volkswagen Volkswagen T6.1 SWB | 4 | 3000 kg | 4.90 m | £35,000 to £85,000 |
The Ford Custom RS Campervan occupies a specific niche, balancing the utility of the Ford Transit Custom chassis with aggressive RS styling. While it shares its 4.97-metre length and 3200kg MTPLM with several alternatives, its focus on exterior body kits and high-gloss interior finishes distinguishes it from more utilitarian conversions. It offers a similar berth capacity to the Volkswagen T6.1 range but provides a different ergonomic experience based on Ford's EcoBlue engine and driver-assist suite. The choice between these models typically rests on the buyer's preference for the RS aesthetic versus the standard factory look of other conversions.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the swivel passenger seat to maximise the internal dining space in the side kitchen layout.
- Regularly clean the RS alloy wheels and body kit to maintain the vehicle's signature aesthetic.
- Monitor battery levels when using the fridge and USB points during off-grid stays.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Overloading the 550kg payload with heavy off-grid equipment.
- Neglecting to check the clearance height of 2.1 metres in multi-storey car parks.
Worth knowing: Payload must be managed carefully when four people are travelling to stay within the 3200kg MTPLM.
