A Wide Range of VW Conversions to Suit All Tastes

Lucy Humphrey • June 25, 2025

Because No Two Adventures Are the Same

At Gatwick Campers, we live and breathe vanlife. We know that a campervan isn’t just a vehicle—it’s your ticket to freedom, a cozy home on wheels, a surf shack, a mountain basecamp, and sometimes even your mobile office. That’s why we offer an extensive range of VW conversions, crafted to match every personality, passion, and plan. Whether you’re a weekend adventurer, a full-time roamer, or somewhere in between, we’ve got a build (and a vibe) for you.


What Exactly Is a VW Conversion?

For the uninitiated, a VW campervan conversion means taking a base VW Transporter—usually a T5, T6, or the latest T6.1—and transforming it into a self-contained, road-ready sanctuary. Think: beds that fold out like origami, fully-equipped kitchenettes, clever storage solutions, and style that speaks to your soul.

At Gatwick Campers, we do much more than just install a bed and a fridge. Our conversions are a combination of craftsmanship, design flair, and obsessive attention to detail. Every inch of your van is carefully planned to serve a purpose (and look amazing doing it).


A Style for Every Explorer

One thing’s for sure—no two adventurers are alike. Some of us crave rustic charm with timber finishes, vintage knobs, and a palette of warm earth tones. Others want minimalist modernity with matte blacks, touch lighting, and tech-forward features. That’s why we offer a menu of styles, finishes, and customisations to suit every taste.

Fan of the Scandi aesthetic? Think blonde wood, clean lines, and smart organisation.
Love the retro look? We’ve got candy-coloured cabinetry and checkerboard floors.
Chasing off-grid living? Solar, lithium batteries, and water tanks can all be fitted seamlessly.


Whatever your flavour, our team can build it—or better.


Built for Comfort, Performance & Possibility

Every van we convert at Gatwick Campers is designed for three things: comfort, capability, and character.

Here’s what you can expect as standard (and upgradeable):


  • Rock ‘n’ Roll Beds or fixed double beds with memory foam mattresses
  • Swivel seats for sociable lounging
  • Pop-top roofs for extra headroom or an upper-level sleep pod
  • Fully-equipped kitchens with fridges, gas hobs, and sinks
  • Off-grid electrics powered by leisure batteries, solar panels or hookup
  • Insulation & soundproofing to keep it snug and silent
  • LED mood lighting for those atmospheric evenings
  • Clever storage in every available nook and cranny

Need something extra? We do full custom builds—bike racks, dog-friendly zones, surfboard storage, baby seats, projector screens, and even pull-out BBQs. Challenge accepted.



Choose Your Path: Custom Builds, Ready-to-Go, or Try Before You Buy

At Gatwick Campers, we make vanlife easy, accessible, and exciting—no matter your starting point.


1. Ready-to-Go Conversions

For those who want to hit the road yesterday, we always have a curated range of fully-converted VW vans available for sale. These are beautifully finished, road-tested, and designed by our in-house experts for max appeal and usability.


2. Custom Builds

Got your own van or want something truly bespoke? We’ll work with you to design and convert your dream layout. You’ll choose everything from cabinet colours to floor textures, electrical systems to interior themes. It’s your adventure—we just make it possible.


3. Hire One First

Still deciding? Dip your toes in the water with our VW camper hire service. Experience vanlife firsthand with one of our top-spec conversions—perfect for a weekend getaway, a festival road trip, or a spontaneous digital detox. Love it? We’ll help you buy or build one. Even better—you can list it with us for hire and start earning when you’re not using it.


Invest in Freedom – and a Potential Side Income

A VW conversion is more than just a purchase—it’s an investment in lifestyle. But here’s the best part: with our Campervan Management & Rental Programme, your van can earn its keep. We’ll manage bookings, maintenance, handovers and more—turning your camper into a source of passive income while you're back at work (or exploring somewhere else).


Built for the Journey, Built to Last

Every Gatwick Campers conversion is built with durability, sustainability, and serviceability in mind. We use eco-conscious materials where possible, design for longevity, and make sure your van is as easy to maintain as it is to enjoy. We also offer ongoing servicing and support, so your camper keeps rolling smoothly, mile after memory-making mile.


Ready to Roll?

Whether you're ready to hit the open road or just daydreaming at your desk, our team is here to help. Visit our workshop, tour some current conversions, or start planning your custom build with us today.

Because the only thing better than a road trip… is one in a van made just for you.
