Defender motorhome build
Current stage: fibreglass body fabrication
A real conversion under way in our workshop: the vehicle has been cut, chassis and base work has been carried out, and the fibreglass body is being made now.
Engineered in the UAE. Built for the world.
Ideas beyond the ordinary. Engineering that makes them real.
Custom Motorhome & Caravan Engineering and Manufacturing in the UAE
ALTENEIJI RV brings engineering and custom manufacturing together: we build motorhomes, towable caravans, camper van conversions and marine projects, and run a full RV maintenance, inspection and refurbishment department from our facility in Sharjah, for customers in the UAE and around the world.

One team for the idea, the build and the upkeep
- 01
Engineering
We start from how you will use the vehicle. Layout, structure and systems are worked out before anything is cut.
- 02
Manufacturing & conversion
We build living bodies and fit them out, convert vans and vehicles, and take on marine fit-outs.
- 03
Maintenance & development
We diagnose and repair caravans and motorhomes, refurbish them, and redevelop a part when that beats repeating an old fix.
What we build
Four categories, each built to order. A motorhome and a camper van drive themselves; a caravan is towed behind your vehicle.
Illustration Motorhomes
Living bodies built and fitted out on a suitable base vehicle or chassis, from compact to large builds.Details
Illustration Towable caravans & travel trailers
Small, family and large caravans, with the interior, exterior and systems set to your order.Details
Illustration Camper van conversions
Insulation, layout, furniture, power, water and air conditioning in a van you own or one we source.Details
Illustration Marine projects
Custom marine builds and fit-outs using the same engineering, composite and systems work.Details
Custom engineering & special projects
You can come to us with an idea or a problem, not only a model from a list. We study it, work out how to build it, and tell you plainly what is feasible.
We accept a project, and decide how to build it, after assessing feasibility, safety and the requirements that apply.
- Concept, layout and functions for the way you will use it
- Interior space design and fit-out
- Living bodies, fibreglass and composite structures
- Bases, mounts, fixings and metalwork per project
- Electrical, power, water and equipment integration
- Custom modifications and redevelopment of existing parts
- Making or modifying a part when no suitable one exists
- Unconventional projects that need their own design
How a special project moves
- 01Idea and need
- 02Vehicle and feasibility assessment
- 03Design and scope of work
- 04Manufacturing and installation
- 05Inspection and handover

45 ft marine project
A 45 ft vessel project. We will publish its details as each stage is confirmed.
RV maintenance, inspection & refurbishment
A full department for caravans and motorhomes, whether we built them or not. We find the cause before we fix it, and where it is the better answer we redevelop the part or the way it is installed.
Mobile maintenance team
Our mobile team comes to you anywhere in the UAE, at home, at camp or on site, for maintenance, inspection and many repairs. Work that needs the workshop is done in Sharjah.
Upgrades we install
Add power, water, comfort, safety and smart control to the caravan, motorhome or camper van you already own, with up-to-date parts chosen for UAE heat.
Solar power system
Panels, MPPT controller, lithium batteries, inverter and monitor sized together as one system for your daily use; roof panels sit on an air gap to stay cooler in UAE heat.
- Roof solar panels
- Roof mounts & sealed cable entry
- MPPT charge controller
- Lithium (LFP) battery bank
- Inverter/charger
- Monitor, fuses & isolator switch
TRV smart control system
Our own system: one touch panel and phone app control lights, air conditioning and slide-outs (at the vehicle), and show live solar, battery, charging and tank data from compatible equipment.
- Touch control panel
- Phone app
- Building-grade control bus
- Dimmable tunable-white lighting
- Temperature & humidity sensors
- Live energy-flow view (compatible equipment)
Second alternator & DC-DC
A DC-DC charger safely charges lithium from the vehicle's alternator, smart ones included, or a caravan's tow vehicle; big banks can add a second high-output alternator, chassis permitting.
- DC-DC charger
- Second high-output alternator & bracket
- Temperature-sensing alternator regulator
- Tow-vehicle charging cable (caravans)
- Heavy-gauge cables & fuses
- Combined solar input option
Water-recycling showerEmerging
A closed loop filters shower water, treats it with UV-C light and recirculates it, so a shower uses a few litres; it drains after each use and needs filter care.
- Recirculation pump
- Multi-stage filters
- UV-C treatment stage
- Drain after use & fresh-water flush
- Water heater connection
How it works
Five steps from first call to handover
- 01
Consultation
You tell us how you travel, who travels with you, your tow vehicle and your budget.
- 02
Specification
We agree the layout, systems and finish with you in writing.
- 03
Quotation
You get a written quotation for the agreed scope.
- 04
Build
We build your trailer at our workshop in Sharjah and fit it out to your specification.
- 05
Handover
Pre-delivery checks, then handover with the documents listed in your quotation.
