📌Quick Facts
About Onyx Vans
Onyx Vans, a specialist in luxury adventure van conversions, was founded by Chris and Heather during the lockdown period. The couple initially converted a van for their personal use, drawing on Chris's background in industrial design and exhibition vehicles. After selling their first beloved conversion, they quickly realized their passion for van building, leading them to create more vans and eventually establish Onyx Vans. This organic growth stemmed from a desire to craft vehicles that truly resonated with their adventurous lifestyle.
The company's philosophy centers on creating purpose-built adventure vans that are both rugged and refined, designed to integrate seamlessly with their clients' outdoor pursuits and daily lives. Onyx Vans offers a range of services, including pre-built vans for sale and bespoke custom conversions, primarily focusing on MAN TGE base vehicles. Their approach is highly collaborative, involving a detailed discovery call and design consultation to ensure every aspect of the van reflects the owner's specific needs and preferences. This meticulous attention to detail ensures robust systems and durable finishes that withstand the rigors of adventure while providing a comfortable and luxurious living space.
Operating from a 3,000 sq ft workshop in Kingsfold, West Sussex, Onyx Vans maintains a small, dedicated team, including founders Chris and Heather, alongside Ryan and Tom. This intimate team structure ensures that every van is known inside and out, fostering a deep understanding of each project. The company prides itself on transparency, honesty about costs and proposals, and open communication throughout the build process, welcoming clients to visit the workshop. Beyond handover, Onyx Vans provides excellent aftercare, offering continued support and advice, reinforcing their commitment to customer satisfaction and the longevity of their conversions.

Customer Testimonials
Onyx created the van of my dreams.
Onyx created the van of my dreams. I work in interiors and had a clear vision of what I wanted. Flexibility in the layout and uncompromising quality were key. I searched the South East for the right partner to bring it to life, visiting three van builders in total. Onyx was the last, and wow, what a difference. The workshop was professional, spotless, and equipped with the latest machinery. I could tell straight away that they cared about the details. Great coffee and a lot of Yeti cups. Always a good sign! Chris and Heather were fantastic to work with. We visited the workshop multiple times during the build to work through the finer details. Communication was excellent, costs were transparent, and they weren’t afraid to push back on a few of my ideas. The van is better for it. The finishing detail is second to none. Since picking it up in April, we’ve used it almost every weekend, and we absolutely love it. The aftercare has been brilliant too. They’re always at the end of the phone if we need anything. I’d recommend Onyx Vans in a heartbeat.
Chris and Heather helped us to convert our first campervan and they were wonderful to work with; they have a clear passion for vanlife and are really knowledgable, especially with van electrics, services, layout and the details that matter when you are off-grid. We couldn't be happier with the results - we love our camper and are grateful for all the tips Chris and Heather have given us, both while they were helping us with the convert, and after it was finished we were able to call them for support. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to convert!

Frequently Asked Questions
The process starts with a 30-minute discovery call to discuss your needs and ideas. This is followed by a detailed design consultation to finalize the layout and must-have features. Onyx Vans then provides a clear, detailed proposal with no hidden costs. Once approved, a deposit secures the build slot, and the team provides concept designs before starting the build.
Onyx Vans offers standard and custom builds specifically for MAN TGE vans. Their portfolio highlights extensive experience with this particular base vehicle, including long wheelbase and 4x4 models. While this is their specialty, they encourage people who like their style but have another van in mind to get in touch to discuss possibilities.
