Kia PV5 Shelsley Campervan Conversion | Cargo & Passenger
Shelsley Kia PV5 campervan conversion
The Shelsley by CCCampers is a gas-free electric campervan conversion for your own Kia PV5 Cargo or Passenger, with a classic side kitchen, an M1-tested Rock ’n’ Roll seat bed and a Stargaze panoramic pop-top roof. The conversion starts from £24,999. You supply the van; the base vehicle is not included. We design and fit your conversion at our workshop in Worcestershire, welcoming customers from the West Midlands, Shropshire, Herefordshire, Gloucestershire, Wales and across the UK.
The standard specification requires the factory-fitted Heat Pump and 3.6 kW Vehicle-to-Load (V2L). Rear-seat ISOFIX mounting points are included as standard on the Rock ’n’ Roll Bed, subject to the final approved seating configuration and child-seat compatibility. A roof bed and mattress are optional add-ons, not standard equipment. Typical build time is 6–8 weeks from drop-off.

Is the Shelsley right for your Kia PV5?
The Shelsley combines a side kitchen with rear seating that converts into a bed. It can be fitted to suitable customer-supplied Kia PV5 Cargo and Passenger models. We confirm factory equipment, vehicle condition, seating and payload before agreeing the build.
Prefer twin or full-width sleeping and a rear galley? Compare the Witley Kia PV5 Cargo conversion. For platform and planning advice, read our Kia PV5 campervan conversion guide.
Download the Shelsley specification sheet for Cargo and Passenger requirements, layout, payload guidance and options. Your agreed quotation confirms current pricing and the final specification.
Stargaze panoramic pop-top roof
The rear-opening Stargaze roof hinges at the front and raises at the rear, adding standing room and ventilation over the living area. That gives you more room to cook, relax and move around when parked.
- Waterproof, durable, weather-tested marine-grade canvas.
- Panoramic canvas opening for views and ventilation.
- Standing headroom over the kitchen and living area.
- Designed for British touring conditions.
Included: Stargaze roof integration. Optional: roof bed and mattress, unless specifically included in your agreed specification. Close and secure the roof before travel.
Standard Shelsley conversion specification
Habitation power and induction cooking
- 100 Ah LiFePO₄ lithium habitation battery for the fridge, lights and USB charging.
- 30 A DC-to-DC charger for charging while driving.
- LiFePO₄ mains charger for campsite hook-up charging.
- 1,000 W single induction hob; double-hob upgrade available.
- 7-inch touchscreen hub for system diagnostics and control.
Read the electric camper power guide.
Factory Heat Pump and V2L requirements
The standard Shelsley uses the Kia PV5's factory Heat Pump and 3.6 kW V2L system. These must be checked on the customer-supplied Cargo or Passenger vehicle before the build begins.
- 3.6 kW V2L: powers 240 V appliances from the vehicle battery without a separate inverter for this arrangement.
- Factory Heat Pump: provides cabin heating and air conditioning from the base vehicle.
- Intelligent power priority: pauses EV charging while you cook to help prevent a campsite breaker trip, then resumes charging when cooking finishes.
- Factory Camp Mode: OEM V2L 240 V mains-control integration.
If your PV5 lacks the Heat Pump or V2L, do not assume it meets the standard Shelsley requirements. We can assess alternatives, including a compact 240 V electric campsite heater and a Smart Lithium / UPS Inverter retrofit for off-grid 240 V power. Suitability and a revised specification must be agreed before booking.
Seating, sleeping and comfort
- M1-tested Rock ’n’ Roll Bed with a reinforced chassis fitting frame and foam transition.
- Rear-seat ISOFIX mounting points included as standard, subject to the final approved seating configuration and child-seat compatibility.
- 120 W integrated underfloor heating.
- Three-stage insulation for sound and heat control.
- Framed curtains for privacy and thermal retention.
- Dimmable halo lighting.
Kitchen and utilities
- 50 L dual-hinged fridge.
- 30 L fresh-water tank with digital level gauges.
- Double USB charging points.
- Tailored wall, floor and furniture finishes.
Dimensions and parking
The listing's stated vehicle length is 4.69 m, with widths of 2,255 mm with mirrors out and 2,100 mm with mirrors folded, and a roof-closed height of 2,090 mm. Confirm your finished vehicle's actual dimensions, including accessories, before entering parking bays, garages or height barriers.
Payload: how much can your Shelsley carry?
The indicative examples below use a stated GVW of 2,785 kg, a Shelsley build adding approximately 295 kg to standard kerb weight, 75 kg per person and a fixed 20 kg pots-and-pans allowance. The 71.2 kWh battery assumption adds a further 45 kg.
Remaining payload is the total allowance for luggage, food, water and additional equipment. These are planning examples, not a guarantee for every Cargo or Passenger model. Check the individual vehicle's kerb weight, plated GVW and Stage 2 VIN plate before loading. Confirm the approved travelling-seat count during consultation.
| Occupancy | People | Pots and pans | Total load | Remaining: 51.5 kWh | Remaining: 71.2 kWh |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Driver only | 75 kg | 20 kg | 95 kg | 400 kg | 355 kg |
| 2 people | 150 kg | 20 kg | 170 kg | 325 kg | 280 kg |
| 3 people | 225 kg | 20 kg | 245 kg | 250 kg | 205 kg |
| 4 people | 300 kg | 20 kg | 320 kg | 175 kg | 130 kg |
At four occupants, these assumptions leave 175 kg on the 51.5 kWh version or 130 kg on the 71.2 kWh version. Additional luggage, food, water and equipment use that remaining allowance. Do not exceed the vehicle's plated GVW.
