Born Wild Vans

Born Wild Vans, based just outside Glasgow, Scotland, specializes in custom campervan conversions, transforming standard vans into adventure-ready homes on wheels. The company was founded by David Meakin, an expert joiner, carpenter, and designer, who initially converted his own van. This personal project quickly evolved into a full-time workshop with a dedicated team, driven by a passion for outdoor pursuits and handcrafted quality. They cater to a diverse range of clients, from those seeking complete bespoke builds to self-builders requiring specific joinery or installation support.

The company's distinctive approach emphasizes rustic designs and the use of natural, durable materials such as native hardwoods, copper, tweed, and leather. Each conversion is treated as a unique reflection of its owner's adventure dreams, ensuring a tailored and character-filled space. Born Wild Vans prides itself on its small-batch approach, ensuring every build receives full attention to detail and adheres to high standards of quality, honesty, and creativity. They are committed to open communication and transparent builds throughout the entire process, from initial ideas to final delivery.

Born Wild Vans offers comprehensive services for various van sizes, including small, medium, large, and extra-large vehicles from numerous manufacturers. Their full conversions include everything from insulation and electrical systems to bespoke kitchenettes, heating, and sleeping arrangements. They also provide conversion support services, assisting self-builders with specific elements like ply-lining, electrics, or interior installations. The company is Gas Safe certified for LPG systems and partners with trusted brands for components, ensuring reliability and safety in all their adventure-ready designs.
