"Veggie power"

- Jack Bancroft of Practical Motor Home Magazine.

The other day I came across Amdro, a specialist van converter offering a product that is genuinely new – or more accurately the ethos behind the company is new. The young management and design team are concerned for the future of the planet and wish to reduce our consumption of fossil fuels. In fact, their conversions won't use much fossil fuel at all. . .

. . . I reckon Amdro deserves our support. I've seen the future, and I like it.

AMONG the mega-bucks displays of shiny new motorhomes it was great to see a company with a different ethos – that of recycling and an environmentally-friendly approach to motorcaravanning. Wales-based Amdro Alternative Camper Conversions offer motorcaravans based on used panel vans modified to run on used cooking oil! They also offer DIY furniture kits.

The alternative fuel choice has the twin benefits of low cost and re-using a waste product. Other environmentally-friendly ideas include the use of insulation made from sheep’s wool and a clean-burning meths-powered cooker. . .

COMPANIES fighting for elbow room must dream of having no direct competitors. Iwan Lloyd Roberts is in that position, but it's not as easy as it looks. . .

. . .One selling point is that ex-fleet vans can be bought relatively cheaply. . .

Another is that the modular furniture provided by Amdro is designed to be removed easily, to make the van into a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), allowing people to use a camper van at weekends or for holidays and as an ordinary van at other times. . .

. . . As a lover of the natural world and living on the threshold of Snowdonia national park, Mr Roberts ensures his conversions are as green as possible. "I use sheep's wool insulation and other sustainable or recyclable materials," he says. That selling point appeals to others who want to explore the great outdoors without spoiling the environment.
