Peugeot Boxer MTB Van Build

A van tour of my newly built adventure camper van.

• Facebook Messenger

It’s been a long time coming, but i’m finally going to show you around my Peugeot Boxer MTB van build.

So lets crack on and explain how I built the van, and why I have chosen certain features.

MTB Van Build Brief

I wanted to do something a little different to my two previous van builds ( Vauxhall Movano and Renault Master ). But at the same time I wanted to keep some elements of them both.

So my ideas were:

• Maintain a “rustic” feel, but with a more modern, brighter interior
• Full slide out bike rack in the garage area of the van
• Carry 2 bikes minimum
• Space and racking to carry MTB tools, cleaning gear and spares

With this in mind, I set to work!

The initial build

So for this MTB van build, I decided from the start I would go with white painted walls, and a darker ceiling and highlights. It took extra work having to paint each piece of wood twice to build up the colour, before it could be installed in the van.

I have used 25mm Celotex insulation in the floor and the roof. The side walls are a combination of 50mm Celotex and recycled plastic loft insulation that I bought from B&Q.

The tongue and groove wood is the same as in my previous vans, and is sourced from Jewsons. Its thicker than the cladding you find at most normal DIY stores. This means it warps less, and allows for some strength when screwing into it.

To get the full width of the bed, as is common with these types of vans, I’ve managed to be able to cut into the wall to give some extra width. The actual width is 6ft 4in. So that’s the biggest bed I’ve had in any of my van builds! I’ve still managed to fit 50mm of Celotex into the walls even with the bed cut in. It just shows how wide these vans are.

The whole point of this MTB van build was to allow me to travel with my bike and lots of mountain bike equipment stored under the bed. This meant the length of the bed has been dictated by the size of my mountain bike! This makes the length of the bed just over 5ft.

The foam mattress I had cut to size by Efoam . I chose 10cm thickness in the firm foam. I am pleased to report it is very comfortable.

Leisure battery, electrics and solar

Powering all the electrics is a 180 amp hour Varta LFD battery. I have installed Victron Smartshunt so I can tell exactly what the state of the battery is. It has Bluetooth so it can connect to my phone and give me live readouts of the current draw on the battery. It will also work out how much power I have left, and how long it will last.

I also a Victron MPPT SmartSolar controller to handle the 270 watt solar panel. Its Bluetooth again so can be monitored from my phone. The last piece of the electrical set up is a Victron Orion TR Smart. This is my dc to dc charger for when im driving. It charges the leisure battery while the engine is running.

The lighting is exactly the same as my other two vans. They just work so well. The switch is included on the actual light itself, so it makes wiring super easy.

The Maaxfan lives above the bed. I’m still in two minds whether i like it there or not. When it’s really windy it does make a bit of noise with the wind passing over the cover on the outside. I thought i’d put it there to help with ventilation when i’m sleeping. This is because i didn’t want condensation build up, and with the fan on the slowest setting you can’t even hear it.

Gas hob, sink and tap

Here’s the gas hob, which cost £110 from Amazon . It comes supplied with LPG jets so I’ve taken out the house gas jets and put in the LPG jets It works perfectly, and looks great on the counter top.

To match the black hob, I thought i would have a black sink as well – another Amazon purchase. I’ve finished it off with black mixer tap . It has a pull out end which retracts back in, which makes things easier when washing up. You also get two styles of water jet. 1: shower type, or 2: the direct water flow.

The waste water drains to the waste tank which is underneath the van. On the side of the van i have a little tap that i can drain the waste whenever i need to

Dometic 12v Fridge

The fridge is a Dometic CRX 50 – not cheap, but a quality item that even has its own freezer compartment. It is a 12 volt compressor fridge, and acts in the same way as a household fridge.

Once down to temperature, the compressor switches off. So it is very efficient, and only draws from the leisure battery when the compressor is running. On the front of the fridge I have added a fridge sticker , so it isn’t just a bland piece of grey plastic.

Splash Back – stick on tiles!

For the splash-back behind the kitchen area I have put stick on tiles from Amazon. I’m really impressed with these. So impressed, I am considering removing some of the tongue and groove wood, and replacing it with ply, and sticking the tiles on top!

Underneath the seat is where the Shurflo water pump and the Fiamma accumulator is mounted. On the inlet for the water pump I have a small filter. The accumulator is to stop the water pulsing from the pump.

As well as feeding the tap, the water water pump also feeds a long hose that runs to the back of the van where I can use a shower attachment for cleaning myself and my mountain bikes. (see the garage section below)

All of the shelving that i have used is made with live edge wood. I’ve just stained it up to the same colour as the roof which is a dark walnut. The live edge wood is available on eBay, and is £50 for 10 sheets of 1.8 metre length. All you have to do is cut it to the size you want.

Just inside the side door is where the gas bottle lives. The gas bottle is contained within a metal gas locker, and a drop out vent inside so if any gas leaks it can disperse to the outside of the van.

I have added a single run of 8mm copper piping that feeds the gas hob. The copper pipe is secured with rubber lined P-clips.

Porta Potti Toilet

In the bottom cupboard I have storage for the Thetford Porta-Potti toilet . Just pull it out if you need to use it, and slide it back in when you’re done. Simple and easy!

Diesel heater

Inside the seat next to the door is the home of the diesel heater. It’s plumbed straight through the floor using a special turret mount.

The air intake is on one side of the seat box, and the hot air outlet is on the opposite side. I have also added a T-piece so hot air can be directed into the garage area. This is to keep underneath the bed warm and free from condensation.

I havent plumbed the diesel heater into the main vehicle tank. It draws fuel from its own tank inside the seat. This way I can use red diesel which is much cheaper, than normal road diesel.

The wood that I’ve used for the seats is actually floorboard so it all slots together and keeps everything nice and secure.

Split Seating

You may be wondering why i’ve decided to go for split seating. Most vans have 2 seats opposite each other with a table in the middle. I did this in my Renault Master build.

But what I didn’t like about that layout, was that I had no little sideboard next to the bed. I had this sideboard in my Vauxhall Movano , and I really missed it in the Renault Master.

It’s just so handy as you can put your phone down there for charging, put down drinks or food and its right next to you while in bed.

So I split the seating in this build so I can have a small sideboard next to the bed with the storage cupboards underneath.

Main Control Panel

Just next to the bed I’ve built a little control panel. It’s use is two fold:

1: It is home to all the USB charging ports in the van. They are USB 3 and have touch sensitive on/off buttons. I have also mounted the controller for the diesel heater here after extending the controller wires across the van.

2: The control panel also acts as a support for the shelf above!

LED strip lights

I have fitted USB powered LED lighting strips underneath the shelves – these were another Amazon purchase. The USB power is taken frominside the main control panel I built. This way it keeps all the wiring neat and out of sight.

The are literally just plug and play, and you stick them where you need them. They come complete with a remote which activates different colours. You can also have them flashing or pulsing, and change the brightness.

Black out curtains

The curtains I got from Kiravans. They are their universal blackout curtain kit .

They come with everything you need to install the kit. You the small runners are already attached to the curtains, so there isnt any fiddly work needed. You just slide the curtains onto the rails. The rails can be cut to length, and curved if need be. They are also stretchy so they they generally will fit most size windows.

The two big curtains that cover the back doors of the van was another Amazon purchase. They only cost about £20, and all i’ve done is used copper piping for the rail. Cheap and simple solution which completely closes off the back of the van at night.

Tinted Windows

I have four black out type windows. One in the sliding door, one in the opposite side and both rear doors.

I decided to pay a company to cut the van panels and install the windows. This is because I messed up the window install in my Renault Master, and had to pay a company to remove and refit the window. So this time Im letting somebody else do it!

So I paid Cornwall Van Windows to do it. They offer a mobile service through the south west, and will come to you at your home or place of work.

The garage is the area which really makes this an MTB van build.

In the garage is a slide out which will carry two mountain bikes. It slides 125cm out the back of the van and allows for easy access to the mountain bikes. The runners can take 200Kg in weight, so if somebody sits on the end of it, they wont bend! Check out GSF Promounts if you want to get some for yourself!

I sourced the axle mounts from Amazon . They will take various size through-axles, and can accomadate boost (110mm) and non-boost axles (100mm).

Either side of the mountain bike slide out is two storage boxes. These have been constructed around the wheel arches. The rest of the garage has various plastic storage boxes which carry MTB tools and spares, as well as tents and other camping items.

Another thing that is needed in an MTB van build, is the ability to wash the bikes.

So off to the side of the garage is a water pipe which is feed from the water pump. I can attach a normal garden hose sprayer to this, and use it to clean the bikes (or myself) at the back of the van.

MTB Van Build – Conclusion

So that is my Peugeot Boxer MTB van build.

This van actually took me the longest to build out of any of my vans I have built. In the middle of this build i completely lost motivation for a few months.

I had about four months where i didn’t do anything to the van, i just had enough of it. But during the lock down in January 2021 I figured I needed to get the van finished, so when lockdown ends I can go out and enjoy the va.

I’m ver pleased with the way it turned out. I wasn’t sure I was actually going to like the white walling, but offset with the dark wood i’m really pleased with the way that it turned out.

Peugeot Boxer van review

Category: Large Van

Above average levels of entry-level equipment make the Boxer stand out from its competition, and with high payloads, large load volumes and good fuel consumption it can be worked hard at a competitive cost

MAN TGE van

Introduction, what car says....

You may not think you know many people that own a Peugeot Boxer , but you also stand to be surprised. Its underpinnings are used for everything from ambulances to horseboxes and motorhomes, making it surprisingly prevalent on our roads.

The Boxer is relatively lightweight for a large van, which means that converters love it for its flexibility when it comes to putting a body on the back and lots of equipment inside.  The same can be said for the Citroen Relay and the Fiat Ducato , both of which share the same platform, but the contrast is that when it comes to a plain old panel van, the Peugeot has historically been conspicuous in its absence on our roads.

Although the Boxer is a large, versatile van, it’s let down by its aging design. The basic van dates back to 2006 and since then it has had just two significant updates; a facelift in 2014 and more eco-friendly engines in 2016. The latest improvements are, on paper, less significant; predominantly aimed at enabling it to meet tougher Euro-6d emissions regulations. Nonetheless, they have considerably improved this ageing warhorse.

What Car? has a buying service

Having had its engine downsized from 2.2-litres to 2.0-litres in 2016 to meet the initial Euro-6 requirements, Peugeot has pushed it back up to 2.2-litres for the newer Euro-6d TEMP requirements. Thankfully, the larger outputs mean more power, with the new 2.2-litre BlueHDI available in three power outputs, up to 163bhp.

An electric version is also available. To read about that, see our full Peugeot e-Boxer review.

The Boxer does, however, provide you with plenty of body size options, with four lengths and three heights available. There’s also the chassis cab option popular with body conversion experts as well as double-cab and minibus versions. Need a specialised van in a hurry? Peugeot has a dedicated range of off-the-shelf Boxer vans including curtain-sided, drop-sided, regular or low-floor Luton and tipper versions.

You can transport anything from 8m3 to 17m3 if you need to fill up your Boxer van, or as much as 1575kg in the best performing 3.5-tonne van.

If you’re trying to identify the latest Boxer from the previous version, you’ll have to pay extra attention. Little has changed since the grille was redesigned in 2016; the bumpers became slightly rounder and LED daytime running lights became available, but that’s all.

Keep reading the next few pages of this review to find out how the Peugeot Boxer compares with the best large vans in terms of performance, interior quality, day-to-day usability and, of course, load-lugging ability. We'll also let you know whether it should be on you or your company's shopping list.

Performance & drive

What it’s like to drive, and how quiet it is.

The newer 2.2-litre diesel engine has made an obvious difference to the way the Boxer drives; not only is there more power, but it is smoother and quieter with it.

It’s available in two forms; one with 118bhp and 221lb ft of torque, or one with 138bhp and 251lb ft of torque. Both come with six-speed manual gearboxes and stop-start systems to minimise emissions. The former range-topper with 163bhp and 273lb ft is no longer available. 

Thanks to a boost in power and torque (pulling power) compared with earlier versions these engines are far more forgiving; offering more low-down shove when heavily laden.

If you’re after an automatic gearbox you’ll be disappointed – the Boxer has none. If the six-speed manual won’t do, rivals including the Ford Transit , Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and Volkswagen Crafter are all available with two pedals.

The gearbox has a tight gear shift action reminiscent of a much sportier vehicle. It works well with the Boxer’s eager engine and changes are smooth, with little vibration through the lever.

However, the same cannot be said about refinement. Although better than it once was, the Boxer is still a loud, clattery van; noisier than the Sprinter or Crafter.

The Boxer feels cumbersome through turns, as you might expect a large van to, but combined with its firm ride you get a strangely enjoyable combination. It’s more fun to drive than you might think, but still feels safe and sensible.

Overall, the Peugeot Boxer is only a mediocre van to drive; failing to match the Transit, sprinter orCrafter in almost every regard.

The interior layout, fit and finish

The Peugeot Boxer has a wide, spacious interior, but that doesn’t make up for how ancient it feels. Piano-black surrounds can’t disguise how dated the plastics are, and the ergonomics are far surpassed by rivals, including the Ford Transit and Volkswagen Crafter . 

The Boxer’s handbrake position is especially problematic; it’s to the right of the driver’s seat so it’s easy to catch a trouser leg or other item of clothing on while getting out. The upside is that cross-cab access is improved and there is more space for the central passenger.

More positively, visibility is excellent and you get plenty of storage thanks to large door bins and a number of useful cubbies in the dash.

Passenger & boot space

How it copes with people and clutter.

Where the Peugeot Boxer has more than kept up with rivals is in its payload capacity. In popular 3.5-tonne form its maximum 1545kg is slightly better than the Ford Transit (1500kg) offers and significantly more than the Iveco Daily (1400kg) and Maxus Deliver 9 (1360kg). 

What's more, in chassis cab form, the Boxer gets a boost to 1790kg, which explains its popularity with converters and bodywork specialists who need a flexible platform for their creations.

It’s not quite as good for volume, measuring in at 17.0m3 in its largest (L4H3) form. But with four lengths and three roof heights to choose from, there’s a lot of flexibility in the line-up. 

Combined with the impressive payload capability, it’s enough to make the Boxer and its siblings – the Citroën Relay , Fiat Ducato and Vauxhall Movano – our joint winner for the most practical large van in the 2022 What Car? Van and Commercial Vehicle awards .

Buying & owning

Everyday costs, plus how reliable and safe it is.

The looks and interior might have largely stayed the same for the Peugeot Boxer, but the safety systems have not. Over the years Peugeot has added a number of important new features to the van to keep it relevant in a sector where massive developments in safety have been a regular occurrence.

While the Volkswagen Crafter arguably leads the way, closely followed by the perpetually impressive Mercedes-Benz Sprinter , Peugeot has slowly added important features to its models including Roll-over Mitigation and Hill Descent Control, as well as such driver assistance technologies as traffic sign recognition and a lane departure warning. Other vans have more, but the Boxer’s kit list is highly credible.

As for fuel economy, the Boxer is acceptable but not outstanding: the 118bhp engine officially returns 26.3–36.0mpg, while the 138bhp unit delivers 25.6–40.1mpg. Emissions are on a par with the Ford Transit , ranging from 215g/km to 289g/km depending on which engine and body you choose. For reference, the Transit pollutes less at the bottom end of its range (205g/km) but more at the high end (305g/km).

The latest Boxer’s engines require a service every 30,000 miles or every two years, whichever is sooner. Warranty support is three years or 100,000 miles, and the paintwork is covered by five-year corrosion protection.

As for equipment, entry-level S trim is fairly spartan and geared towards the rental or large fleet purchaser. Heated, electrically adjustable mirrors are the main draw, but you also get a DAB radio with bluetooth, a rake-and-reach-adjustable steering wheel and a 12V power socket. 

The alternative is Professional, which adds air conditioning, rear parking sensors and a 5.0in infotainment touchscreen with sat-nav functionality, among other useful features. The Asphalt and Grip versions have been discontinued.

We recommend opting for the 138bhp engine for its greater flexibility, and Professional trim, which offers the best balance between cost and standard kit.

The Peugeot Boxer has a strong reliability record, with few major patterns of problems. Watchouts include tired suspension, broken locks and worn brakes. The Peugeot Boxer warranty is three years/100,000 miles. Read our Peugeot Boxer review .

Older Peugeot Boxer 2.2-litre diesel engines were manufactured by Ford, but the latest engines all come from Stellantis, the parent company of Peugeot. The latest engines are all smooth and quiet. Read our Peugeot Boxer driving review .

Peugeot Boxer buyers have the choice of a 2.2-litre BlueHDI diesel engine available in three power outputs, up to 163bhp. All provide strong and smooth power delivery. There is also an all-electric version of the van, called the Peugeot e-Boxer.

The Peugeot Boxer engine line-up is well regarded, and covered by a three-year/100,000 mile warranty. Engine services are every 30,000 miles or two years, whichever is sooner. Well maintained, reliability data suggests they are reasonably robust. Read our Peugeot Boxer verdict .

Called the Peugeot e-Boxer, the all-electric version of the Boxer delivers an official range of up to 139 miles. Additionally, there is also a version with a smaller, cheaper battery that covers just 73 miles. Neither is great, however, with it earning two out of five stars from our testers. Read the Peugeot e-Boxer review.

The Peugeot Boxer is classified as a large van, although how large depends very much on the model you choose. That’s because the Boxer is available with three wheelbases and four load lengths, making it critical you spec it carefully. Read more in our Peugeot Boxer practicality review .

Fun facts from our Moscow Metro Tours:

From the very first days of its existence, the Moscow Metro was the object of civil defense, used as a bomb shelter, and designed as a defense for a possible attack on the Soviet Union.

At a depth of 50 to 120 meters lies the second, the coded system of Metro-2 of Moscow subway, which is equipped with everything you need, from food storage to the nuclear button.

According to some sources, the total length of Metro-2 reaches over 150 kilometers.

The Museum was opened on Sportivnaya metro station on November 6, 1967. It features the most interesting models of trains and stations.

Coffee Ring

The first scheme of Moscow Metro looked like a bunch of separate lines. Listen to a myth about Joseph Stalin and the main brown line of Moscow Metro.

Zodiac Metro

According to some astrologers, each of the 12 stops of the Moscow Ring Line corresponds to a particular sign of the zodiac and divides the city into astrological sector.

Touring the Top 10 Moscow Metro Stations

By Claudia Looi 2 Comments

Komsomolskaya metro station looks like a museum. It has vaulted ceilings and baroque decor.

Hidden underground, in the heart of Moscow, are historical and architectural treasures of Russia. These are Soviet-era creations – the metro stations of Moscow.

Our guide Maria introduced these elaborate metro stations as “the palaces for the people.” Built between 1937 and 1955, each station holds its own history and stories. Stalin had the idea of building beautiful underground spaces that the masses could enjoy. They would look like museums, art centers, concert halls, palaces and churches. Each would have a different theme. None would be alike.

The two-hour private tour was with a former Intourist tour guide named Maria. Maria lived in Moscow all her life and through the communist era of 60s to 90s. She has been a tour guide for more than 30 years. Being in her 60s, she moved rather quickly for her age. We traveled and crammed with Maria and other Muscovites on the metro to visit 10 different metro stations.

Moscow subways are very clean

To Maria, every street, metro and building told a story. I couldn’t keep up with her stories. I don’t remember most of what she said because I was just thrilled being in Moscow.   Added to that, she spilled out so many Russian words and names, which to one who can’t read Cyrillic, sounded so foreign and could be easily forgotten.

The metro tour was the first part of our all day tour of Moscow with Maria. Here are the stations we visited:

1. Komsomolskaya Metro Station  is the most beautiful of them all. Painted yellow and decorated with chandeliers, gold leaves and semi precious stones, the station looks like a stately museum. And possibly decorated like a palace. I saw Komsomolskaya first, before the rest of the stations upon arrival in Moscow by train from St. Petersburg.

2. Revolution Square Metro Station (Ploshchad Revolyutsii) has marble arches and 72 bronze sculptures designed by Alexey Dushkin. The marble arches are flanked by the bronze sculptures. If you look closely you will see passersby touching the bronze dog's nose. Legend has it that good luck comes to those who touch the dog's nose.

3. Arbatskaya Metro Station served as a shelter during the Soviet-era. It is one of the largest and the deepest metro stations in Moscow.

4. Biblioteka Imeni Lenina Metro Station was built in 1935 and named after the Russian State Library. It is located near the library and has a big mosaic portrait of Lenin and yellow ceramic tiles on the track walls.

5. Kievskaya Metro Station was one of the first to be completed in Moscow. Named after the capital city of Ukraine by Kiev-born, Nikita Khruschev, Stalin's successor.

6. Novoslobodskaya Metro Station  was built in 1952. It has 32 stained glass murals with brass borders.

7. Kurskaya Metro Station was one of the first few to be built in Moscow in 1938. It has ceiling panels and artwork showing Soviet leadership, Soviet lifestyle and political power. It has a dome with patriotic slogans decorated with red stars representing the Soviet's World War II Hall of Fame. Kurskaya Metro Station is a must-visit station in Moscow.

8. Mayakovskaya Metro Station built in 1938. It was named after Russian poet Vladmir Mayakovsky. This is one of the most beautiful metro stations in the world with 34 mosaics painted by Alexander Deyneka.

9. Belorusskaya Metro Station is named after the people of Belarus. In the picture below, there are statues of 3 members of the Partisan Resistance in Belarus during World War II. The statues were sculpted by Sergei Orlov, S. Rabinovich and I. Slonim.

10. Teatralnaya Metro Station (Theatre Metro Station) is located near the Bolshoi Theatre.

An excellent read! Thanks for much for sharing the Russian metro system with us. We're heading to Moscow in April and exploring the metro stations were on our list and after reading your post, I'm even more excited to go visit them. Thanks again 🙂
