Conversion Story: Scandi-Style Conversion. Deets is named after her builder Dietlind Schirmer who painstakingly converted her in late 2019/early 2020 to be her new home to further her photography/film production business.
She was named as the Best Self build of 2020 by Nate Murphy’s Adventure Channel. We bought her after Dietlind decided to relocate to South Africa and build herself a 4×4 version. Her conversion story is documented on Dietlind’s You Tube Channel, SchirmerShoots
