Frequently Asked Questions
Searching for a ready built campervan, or having one professionally converted can seem like a daunting task for anyone. With so many different choices, brands and layouts available we have tried to answer some of the most popular questions:
- Which is the best van to have converted?
This is a very common question and not an easy one to answer, what works best for you will depend on your requirements and budget, but here is our opinion… The VW Transporter has a huge following and it is not surprising with the many years of experience within the leisure industry. With many different parts and upgrades available, this is often the 1st choice for many people. The Ford Custom makes a great campervan, with its modern interior and spacious loading area, it is also a very popular choice for many people. The Renault Trafic and Vauxhall Vivaro both make great campervans, they can come with a great specification level and the engines are very economical, the Renault Trafic has always been one of our favourites.
- How long does it take to convert a campervan?
Normally, we allow up to 4 working weeks for your traditional campervan conversion, for a larger Crafter / Sprinter type conversion, we allow up to 8 working weeks.
- Must my campervan be registered as a campervan?
This will mostly depend on your insurance company, some companies will start that your van must be registered, although many understand that not all campervans can be registered as a campervan by DVLA. We recommend Howdens (previously A Plan), they work with companies like ourselves and provide very competitive insurance.
- Should I invest in a solar panel?
This all depends on how you intend to use your campervan. If you plan on staying on campsite with electric hook up, then it may not be on any benefit to you, if you plan on going off grid for 2 days plus, then a solar panel would certainly be beneficial.
- Is it safe to use a night heater?
Yes, providing that the heater installed is fully tested and installed by a competent person they can be a great edition to any campervan. We enjoy many winter nights away in our campervan and stay lovely and warm.
- Can I choose the interior colours?
Yes, for your own conversion there are many different colour options to choose from, this includes the floor, trimming and main units.
EXCELLENTTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. December 2025 and having just collected my 2020 Transit Custom L2H2 from Campervandom I am overjoyed with the finish. Nick and his team are true professionals who carried out a full conversion to the highest quality. Being in the motor trade myself and having worked at McLaren cars I know about quality, fit and finish . Campervandom are in this category and are always happy to adapt and add things as per customers needs. Nick was ever so patient and always prompt with replies. I look forward to following this company and thoroughly recommend them to anyone thinking about Van Life. Cheers again Nick and Team .Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the first call to handover, we felt like valued customers. As newcomers to van life, we appreciated how clearly Nick explained our options and helped design a conversion that exceeded our expectations — even in a SWB Transporter. The workmanship and components are excellent, with clever storage and plenty of comfort for two adults and a dog, without feeling cluttered. The van was ready on the agreed date — our first time even seeing it, as we bought the used van remotely from a VW dealer and had it delivered directly to Campervandom. All our beginner questions were answered clearly at handover. We headed straight off on a 3,500-mile trip across Europe, on and off-grid. We needed help a few times learning the features, and Nick was always available, patient, and reassuring. A genuinely quality company — friendly, professional, and kind. Well done, and thank you, Nick and the team.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have just had my VWT6 changed from the traditional rock and roll type conversion to u shaped. Absolutely over the moon with my van. It looks amazing! Couldn't be happier with the overall service from start to finish. Nick was extremely helpful in advising and answering my many questions! Prompt replys to emails/phone calls. Cannot fault this company. Even allowed a buyer to collect my old furniture from his workshop. Would highly recommend.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Absolutely delighted with the work Nick and his team carried out on my Volkswagen Transporter! Nick went above and beyond throughout the entire process, answering any questions I had immediately and always with great professionalism. I genuinely can’t express how happy I am with the end result — the attention to detail and quality of workmanship is outstanding. This is exactly how a business should be run. I’ll definitely be returning in the future for more modifications, and I can’t recommend Nick and his team highly enough. Many thanks again!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are a family of four who decided to hire the rental campervan for a trip to Tenby. We absolutely loved it! The van was very clean and cleverly designed to maximise storage and space. It came with added extras included such as cutlery, tableware, frying pan, pan, cooking utensils, washing up necessities (including a tea towel ☺️) and even salt and pepper - these made the getaway much easier as we didn’t have to pack these things. There were also camp chairs, which were great for sitting out under the awning. It’s the perfect set up if you’re not seasoned campers and want to try it out - like we did! The pop top bed was great for the kids and we found the rock and roll bed easy to fold out and more comfortable than I expected. All in all we had a brilliant time away for our first (but I’m sure it won’t be our last) campervan trip and we would 100% recommend renting from Campervandom so you can experience van life too!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nick and his team have done a brilliant job on converting my V W Caddie Maxi van into a camper van.Nick has a wealth of knowledge and experience in converting different types of vans into campers. We the planned the layout and colour scheme together. I am very happy with the result. It was finished to a high standard and on time. Communication with Nick has always been swift. I love my little camper and am having many adventures in it.
