Simon was so easy to deal with and I’m super stoked with my van, it looks amazing and drives so much quieter, it’s like a totally different van. Can’t wait to take it to some festivals next summer.
Beautiful work lining our van.
Excellent work done to a very high standard.
Highly recommended our Transit Custom is simply stunning!
Thanks again Simon, It was like driving a car on the way home! Very quiet Indeed!
I was amazed at the quality of the finish, far better value for money than I imagined. Simon really takes a pride in his work, very happy!
I’d been putting off getting the inside of my Vito carpeted for months thinking I’d do it myself to save money etc. I was parked next to Simon in his T4 at the local beach and got chatting to him whilst checking out his interior. I was so impressed with his work and his prices that I bit the bullet and asked him to do a full carpet job on mine. Best money I’ve ever spent on a vehicle.’
Camperliners converted my Ford Transit Custom in October. I have used the van extensively since and the conversion has proved perfect in every way Simon is a craftsman. The quality of his work is remarkably good. I have a campsite and I see camper vans every day. I can say with complete confidence that I have not seen one yet, where the quality of the work is comparable to mine. I would recommend Camperliners to anyone looking at converting their vans.
Very pleased with the soundproofing and carpet lining that Simon has fitted to the rear of our Vauxhall Vivaro Kombi/Crew Van. Also had LED lights and charging sockets fitted, despite deciding this after dropping the van off! He also discovered some other surprises left by the previous owner but rectified these as well. Simon kept us up to date throughout the process and obviously takes pride in his work with an eye for attention to detail. All this and at a fair price! I would therefore have no hesitation in recommending Simon to anyone looking for this type of work.
Simon added windows and lined my T6. Some 5 years later I didn’t hesitate to return for a bed and leisure electrics. The quality of work and attention to detail is of a very high standard. Thank you.
I found Simon at Camperliners on google. After our first conversation with him I soon realised that Simon had vast knowledge regarding conversions of vans and he was extremely down to earth. I booked in to have my Ford Transit Custom converted, I wanted 2 seats in the back, bulk head removing, flooring put down, walls lined and carpeted, 2 windows and lights. Simon spent an hour or so talking through all our options and was not pushy in the slightest, in fact he was so honest he advised against things that we potentially wouldn't benefit from installing and thus saving us money. Today I collect my van and I am so pleased with the conversion. Simon and his team have done a fantastic job to the highest standard. I would recommend contacting Simon if you are looking to do a conversion whether it be big or small. Thanks again Simon and team!
Simon did a fantastic job this week installing some side windows to my VW Caddy! He was so helpful, responsive and the job he has done is top notch! Thank you so much!
