Types we cover

Three starting points, from pop-top to family motorhome

Chosen as an initial focus, not as the limit of what's possible — if your brief points elsewhere, say so and we'll talk about it.

Pop-top campervan conversion, such as a VW Transporter, parked in a scenic location

Pop-top campervans, including VW Transporter and similar

Compact enough to drive and park like a normal vehicle day-to-day, with a pop-top roof that adds standing height and often a second berth when camping. A popular starting point for buyers who want one vehicle for both weekday use and weekend trips, at a range of budgets depending on condition and conversion quality.

Off-grid-ready panel van conversion with roof rack and ladder, parked on a coastal clifftop

Larger van conversions, including VW Crafter and similar

Built on a bigger base vehicle with a fixed high roof, these give standing headroom throughout, a permanent bed that doesn't need making up each night, and usually more capacity for off-grid living — solar, larger water tanks, bigger leisure batteries. Tends to appeal to buyers planning longer trips or part-time full-time living, in exchange for a vehicle that's less nimble day-to-day.

Large coachbuilt motorhome with an over-cab bed, parked among pine trees

Coachbuilt motorhomes, 4+ berth

Built with a separate living structure on a commercial chassis, these give the most space of the three — fixed beds, a proper washroom, and room for a family or a group to travel together. Best suited to buyers prioritising space and comfort over manoeuvrability and everyday drivability.
