About Base Campers®

Base Campers is a specialist UK company based in Porthcothan, Cornwall, dedicated to designing and building functional, luxurious campervan conversions. The company was founded by two friends, a product designer from Cornwall and an engineer and flooring specialist from London, who collectively possess over 20 years of personal experience traveling and living in converted vans. This deep personal understanding of van life informs their meticulous approach, ensuring that every conversion is built with practical usability and high-end quality in mind. They emphasize a custom-made, in-house approach, banning sub-standard pre-fab packs and MDF in favor of premium materials like Superva lightweight furniture board and VW Rusty Lee Rock and Roll beds.

The company offers a comprehensive range of services, from full turnkey campervan conversions to specialized partial services. Their conversion packages cater to various needs, from the entry-level "Solid Base" to the fully-equipped, high-spec "Explorer" models. Beyond full builds, Base Campers provides individual services such as interior installations, power management systems, and pop-top roofs, making them suitable for empty shells, part-converted vans, or those simply in need of upgrades. They also engage in the sale of complete campervans, carry out repairs, and offer camper accessories.

Base Campers prides itself on an "unbeatable attention to detail," with all work executed by a small team of passionate, experienced builders and campervan connoisseurs. Their expertise primarily focuses on Volkswagen Transporter models (T5 and T6), reflecting their "virtuosos of VW" status. The company's reputation and conversions have reached customers far and wide, from the Shetland Isles to Europe, demonstrating their broad appeal and the quality of their craftsmanship. They invite potential clients to visit their HQ in Cornwall to discuss their needs and view their vans, underscoring their commitment to personalized service.

Frequently Asked Questions

Base Campers® are renowned specialists in high-end Volkswagen Transporter conversions. They focus on turning these specific vans into luxurious, custom-built adventure machines. This specialization means the team possesses deep, model-specific knowledge, allowing them to execute every build with precision and expertise. While they offer services for various campers, their core reputation is built on being virtuosos of VW, a platform the founders have used for over 20 years.

Every build from Base Campers® is highly customized to the owner's specific needs. The company's design process starts by asking what the van will be used for, ensuring the layout and features perfectly suit the customer's lifestyle. Everything is designed and built in-house by master craftsmen, not from pre-fabricated packs. This approach allows for complete personalization of interiors, power systems, and finishes, resulting in a truly bespoke vehicle.

No, the company offers a wide range of services beyond full conversions. Customers can select individual specialist services to suit their needs, a process they call "cherry-picking." This is ideal for vans that are partly converted or just need specific upgrades. These services include installing pop-top roofs, fitting complex electrical systems, building custom cabinetry, and providing general repairs and servicing for campervans.
