Embarking on the build of your own van is often the culmination of many years of dreaming. These pages are designed to help you navigate the process from choosing the right base vehicle, getting a roof that you are happy with right through to finishing it off in the way that you want and at a price that suits.
We combine the very best of components with handmade furniture using a combination of locally sourced Scottish elm and birch ply.
We build only three or four campers per year – each van is built to the exact specifications of the customer. We’ll collect your van and deliver it back to you fully converted free of charge from anywhere within Scotland. For the rest of the UK we offer the same service but at a negotiated rate.
All 2017 slots are now booked. If you would like to discuss a conversion for 2018 please get in touch.
We had looked at other campervan conversions as well as the VW California. Wild Campers had quite a different approach and offering – custom quality joinery work and an appearance different from the standard offerings on the market. High quality, high specification, friendly advice, great value, great warranty and customer care. Neil helped turn an idea we had for over a decade into a finished wonderful camper van.

The table below will give you an idea of prices. They are listed as ‘from’ prices – there are variations such as choices of fabric etc. which may add to the final price. Our approach is to list the component prices and let you build the van you want.
