Bear Hug Campers

Just what I need to get me across the finish line in what has turned out to be a much more complicated process than I could have imagined. Cheers for helping to keep the dream alive.

Thoroughly recommend Bear Hug Campers. The workmanship is to an extremely high standard and the after-sales support is superb. I didn't know too much about either campers or vans in general, so getting one felt overwhelming at first. However, they made me feel instantly comfortable with their patient, honest and good-natured manner. We are over the moon with our new van, thanks Bear Hug!

Biggest thanks for cutting all the holes from the outside I was too scared to 😂 Honestly so chuffed. I was so worried about doing the electrics. It was so worth getting Bear Hug to take the stress off my hands and frankly do an amazing job and give me so much advice!

I have had a full van conversion with John and I honestly couldn't have imagined anything better. The whole process has been incredible from start to finish. I felt completely at ease throughout the whole process. From our first initial call, he took the time to understand me and what I was trying to achieve, and I knew that any decision that may have come up, he would have thought how I may want things.

John recently converted our van for us and we’re really pleased with the results. If you want a indenti-kit plastic soulless fit out (like 90% of the vans out there) then this is not the place for you. If you want a van that is bespoke to you and stunningly crafted and finished, then you’re in the right place. From start to finish, we really enjoyed the design process and we now own a van that we’re over the moon with.

First class support, advice and service. Having already part done my diy camper, I sent it to John to install a new electric system. So so pleased with the results, using top quality products and utilising the space they had to work with, and making it user friendly. So excited that I've got a camper that works, and can go off on my travels with peace of mind knowing it's been installed at such a high standard. They also installed my gas and water systems so I can now have a hot shower, andmake that cuppa on those cold windy days by the sea. The whole process of enquiring, booking and getting the work done was smooth and painless, and would highly recommend using John and his team.

I would highly recommend Bear Hug Campers, John fitted the windows perfectly to our new van and Becca responded to emails and provided the information and support we needed.

Kindness, skill, and genuine care — a rare find! I had such a wonderful experience with John at Bear Hug Campers. From the very beginning, he was patient, supportive, and truly went the extra mile to help bring my caravan project to life. He didn’t just install the water system — he thought through every detail with care, adapted things on the spot, and made sure everything worked beautifully. What stood out most was the kindness and integrity he brought to the job. After a stressful experience with another company, I honestly felt so reassured and safe in John’s hands. He even shifted other jobs to help meet my deadline — I’ll never forget that. This kind of service is rare. I’m so grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Bear Hug Campers to anyone. I’ll definitely be back for future work as The Still Spot continues to grow 🌿 Thank you again, John!

I couldn't be happier with the amazing job this team did converting my van into the cosy, practical camper I’d dreamed of. From the very first call, John was really thorough—taking the time to understand exactly what I needed, talking me through the design options, and offering thoughtful suggestions I wouldn’t have considered on my own. His attention to detail from the planning stages right through to the final build gave me complete confidence in the process. He was also really helpful with choosing an actual van as this was something I was just winging! The craftsmanship is outstanding—everything feels solid, well-finished, and tailored to how I actually use the space. It’s clear how much care and pride goes into each build. It was also brilliant to meet the builder and see the van come to life—he's clearly passionate about what he does and it shows in the work. If you're looking for a team that really listens, offers expert guidance, and delivers top-quality, personal builds, I couldn’t recommend them more. Thanks again for turning my van into such a welcoming home on wheels!

Its making the whole process less daunting and the forum community is active and supportive, all your queries get answered quickly.
