Structural Extras

Add-ons for your Sunbox Pod

We have designed the Sunbox Pod to be the perfect base unit to start your campervan adventures. With a professional installation you can trust, you’ll be able to hit the road immediately after purchase. 

What’s great about the Sunbox Pod, is that you have the option to enhance it over time, if you choose to. 

As a starting point we often recommend our modular upholstery system: Handmade cushioning to fit the Sunbox Pod exactly, which is designed with 100% recycled furnishing fabric and meets British Standards fire regulations. (However, if you’d prefer to buy a separate camping mattress you can do that too!)

Other structural add-ons include pop-top roofs, window installations, flooring and carpet lining. We can also assist with additional aspects like insulation, heating and electricals to ensure your van is fully equipped for adventure.

Your campervan adventures just got greener

Sustainability is at the heart of the Sunbox Pod. The birch ply used in the Sunbox is from FSC-certified sources, while the insulation uses natural fibres like sheep's wool.

Our upholstery and flooring are also made from recycled materials. 

Enter our Circular Economy

Inspired by the circular economy, we offer a buy-back scheme to minimise waste. Customers who return their Sunbox Pod within three years of purchase can access a 20% discount on a full Sunbox Campers conversion. This initiative encourages responsible consumption and helps keep campervan components in use for longer.
