Vanfolk VW Campervan Conversion

A stunning VW campervan conversion by Vanfolk, which features our Eco Design small wood burning stove!

Salamander Stoves Hobbit small wood burning stove installed in a campervan conversion by Vanfolk 1

Our Hobbit stove has been incorporated into the design of this gorgeous little adventure-mobile by the lovely people over at Vanfolk! We absolutely love the new coffee-coloured interior of the cabin, and the vehicle is packed with the same great features that their other van conversions have to offer!

This 2015 medium-wheel-base campervan sleeps up to two people in its luxurious, king-sized width bed, but it can sleep up to three if you squeeze a little one in the middle! The cabinetry is all handmade from scratch, and its complete with a solid walnut worktop, table and windowsills.

The kitchen is kitted out with fireproof ceramic tiles, a baby Belfast sink, a 2-burner gas hob, a fridge, and a fresh water tank! It has plenty of storage space too, and the cosy reading lights make the van feel even more homely. You can visit the listing for the van over at Quirky Campers to checkout the full range of amenities that it has to offer!

The campervan has a Victron solar energy bluetooth smart system, 12v and 240v power, 110ah leisure battery charged via a split charge system, a battery monitor, an inverter, a mains hookup, as well as mains and USB sockets. These features, in addition to our Eco Design Hobbit stove, mean that this van is off-grid and winter-ready for an adventure at any time of the year!

Our small wood burner enables you to take a trip to the beach come rain or shine, and you’ll have peace of mind knowing that you can hop back inside the van to get warm and cosy again! There’s nothing more inviting than being able to bask in front of the flames in our tiny wood stove after a chilly walk or a dip in the sea.

Every little detail of this campervan conversion has been well-considered. There’s a nifty log store just beneath our small stove, so you’ll always have logs to hand, and there’s even a space to hang up our mini dustpan and brush set!

Here, Em and Simon have equipped their Hobbit stove with our heat shield option, so that our tiny wood stove can be installed into an especially tight space. You can click here to checkout the full range of stove extras that we have to offer! A carbon monoxide and smoke alarm has also been fitted to the ceiling, and there’s a permanent vent fitted to the side of the van – ticking off each and every safety measure!

Our small wood burning stove is a great choice for campervans and other vehicles, as the Hobbit’s solid cast iron construction enables it to withstand any knocks and bumps that it might endure whilst you’re in transit! Our stove also has a pre-drilled hole at the corner of each foot, so that it can be easily bolted to the floor to keep it securely in place.

If you’re wondering how you might be able to incorporate one of our small wood burning stoves into the design of your campervan, then make sure you checkout our van flue kits to see how you could get your Hobbit stove easily installed.

If you’re at all unsure about what flue parts you might need, then please feel free to contact us, as we offer a bespoke flue consultancy service free of charge! We’ve also written an article on how to install a small wood stove into a vehicle, and we’ve made a video which will guide you through the process.

Our Hobbit Stove Has Been Fitted!

"We had a Hobbit stove fitted this week by Alex Reay from Flues and Fires, and I just wanted to get in touch to say it is AMAZING and we love it! We have a lovely cast iron tiled fireplace which I was desperate not to lose when we installed a small wood burning stove, but until I found the Hobbit on Google, everyone told me it would be impossible to keep the fire surround. The Hobbit is perfect - not only does it fit very snugly, but it looks fantastic and the blue door complements the tiles very nicely. We are sitting enjoying a fire now and absolutely loving it! Thanks for creating such an amazing product."

The Best Stove Ever!

"It’s the best stove ever! It’s easy to light, very efficient, burns anthracite and stays in overnight (ours has been in for three weeks now). It even keeps a kettle of water at the ready for a cuppa! What more can I say, we love it! Just the thing to make our Yorkshire home cosy, and the cat loves it too!"

Lynn and Andrew, West Yorkshire

First Small Stove Installation

Was looking for a small stove for my first self-install. Found Mark very helpful. Knowledgeable, friendly service. Stove burns well and generates lots more heat than the previous open fire. What is not to like?

A Huge Thank You!

"Dear Mark and Gill, a huge thank you for designing and making the Hobbit stove! We had two different London-based fireplace companies tell us that we simply had to knock out the old cast iron and tile fireplace to fit in a woodburning stove, and that there was no other option! Then we found you online. We are delighted with our little Hobbit, which swallows up logs and kicks out a good amount of heat. Perfect for the winter! I will also be writing to the London-based fireplace companies to put the Hobbit on their radar. Best wishes."

It's Brilliant!

"Hi Mark, here's a photo of the Hobbit installed in my Yorkist grate. It’s brilliant! It also throws out a lot more heat than the grate did."

The Little Hobbit Has Stepped Up To The Challenge!

"We just wanted to say how impressed and how much of a life saver our little Hobbit has been! It was fitted a few months ago in our holiday home in Rhu, Scotland, which is a large open plan conversion in a Victorian house. This weekend our boiler decided it was not going to play ball. The little Hobbit has stepped up to the challenge, providing heat to a very large area, about twenty eight foot by twenty four foot with a high ceiling of about eighteen foot, keeping the room reasonably warm, warm enough for us not to use cardigans!”

Very Pleased With Our Hobbit!

"We are very pleased with the stove and think it looks great! We restored our fireplace (it was hidden under plaster!) and the whole look is better than we hoped!"

Our Pride And Joy!

"What a fantastic fireplace with the beautiful Hobbit stove. It fits perfectly into the small space and throws out a lot of heat. Here's a photo of our little stove, now our pride and joy and much admired by all who see and feel the warmth."

Fantastic!

"Just to bid you all a Happy New Year and to say how much we’re enjoying having our Hobbit stove! It was easy to fit with the help of your excellent ‘how to’ videos and we’re just awaiting our inspection by building control for the certification. The Hobbit has fitted neatly into the hearth vacated by the old gas back boiler (with a little cosmetic rendering) and never ceases to surprise us how much heat it can deliver to the point that the new condenser boiler is having an easy life, thereby saving us on gas bills too! Everyone loves having a ‘real fire’ in the living room."
