So, you’re dreaming of hitting the open road in your own low floored luton van. Exciting! But before you dive headfirst into that dream, it’s crucial to understand the importance of bodybuilder guidelines.

What are Bodybuilder Guidelines?

Put simply, bodybuilder guidelines are a set of rules and regulations established by the vehicle manufacturer (like Renault, Citroen, Ford, Mercedes-Benz, etc.) for companies that modify their vehicles. These guidelines cover a wide range of aspects, including:

  • Structural integrity: Ensuring any modifications don’t compromise the vehicle’s safety and structural soundness.
  • Electrical systems: Maintaining the integrity and safety of the vehicle’s electrical systems.
  • Weight distribution: Preventing overloading and ensuring safe handling.
  • Emissions: Complying with environmental regulations.

Why are they important for my van conversion?

  • Safety First: By adhering to bodybuilder guidelines, you prioritise your safety and the safety of others on the road.
  • Legal Compliance: Following these guidelines helps ensure your converted van is legally compliant with roadworthiness standards.
  • Warranty Considerations: Many vehicle warranties may be voided if modifications are not carried out in accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines.
  • Peace of Mind: Knowing your conversion has been done correctly provides peace of mind and confidence in your vehicle.
