We’ve had an absolutely amazing experience with James, Gem & their team at Tribe Campers and we can’t recommend them highly enough! Tribe is a lovely family run business and you immediately feel welcomed & it genuinely feels like becoming part of a community rather than just being another customer. There was never any pushy sales approach, which made the whole experience feel super relaxed and enjoyable. James is extremely knowledgeable and approachable, and he took the time to answer every question we had. Not once did we feel like any question was silly & he was always happy to help and explain things clearly. The quality and standard of the conversions are outstanding! You can really see the care, craftsmanship, and attention to detail that goes into everything they do! The experience completely surpassed our expectations. If you’re looking for a campervan/conversion and want to deal with genuinely great people who are passionate and take pride in what they do, I would recommend Tribe to anyone! Thank you so much again. We are so excited for the many family adventures to come 🚐 ✨ Hollie, Dan & Fionn x
After previously owning a converted T5, we figured out what we wanted out of a camper van and bought a base T6 shuttle with a view to setting it up for camping / biking. After comparing several conversion companies we really liked the look of Tribe Campers and the quality of the workmanship, although initially we asked for the sliding bed and rails.. each time we visited we added more work for Tribe to the project. There were no pushy sales, they just let us see for ourselves what options are available to us. Fortunately for us James and the team at Tribe were very approachable and happy to accommodate our customised build. When we came to collect the van we were both overwhelmed with how much attention to detail the team put in, and it is obvious at Tribe Campers they aren't happy leaving any stone unturned. We are so glad we went with Tribe Campers for the conversion, a lovely close knit family business who are all so easy to get on with. We would highly recommend Tribe Campers to anyone who wants a quality conversion completed to the highest standard.

We started looking at campers in August last year at the Malvern three counties show and then again at the Stoneleigh show in January. At the Stoneleigh show we had seen some lovely conversions, I had seen a dark grey VW with grey interior with black leather that first I thought was perfect until we sat inside, but when inside we found it very dark and claustrophobic and seemed very small inside, the storage was poor also. We then walked around to the other side of the show ground and found Tribe Campers. My wife looked from a distance and said I think this may be the one. We sat in a white van with a light blue bottom half that was light and airy, I said to my wife if we had one of these our holiday would start as soon as we sat in the van. We then met James and Verity, there was no sales pressure or gimmicks just this is what it does, I will give you a call on Monday and tell me what you think. We went back the following day and didn’t really look at the other converters, our minds were all ready made up. There were many reasons for choosing Tribe too many to mention all, James’s enthusiasm and design, No gas, induction hob,table stored in side door, large fridge, great design, build quality, Stide sliding bed which gives us storage of over 1.5m2 at the rear of the bed and still room for the grand children in the rear seats. And of course Verity, Gem,Paul and the rest of the Tribe team!
We met James from Tribe campers at an event in January , I knew exactly what we wanted and Tribe were so accommodating, a family run business and very clearly knew what they were talking about with NO sales pitch !! From start to finish, design and planning was never rushed and the end result was absolutely fantastic 🤩🤩🤩 I can’t thank them enough 😎
Great service from the whole team at Tribe. Cannot fault anything from first meetings to the quality of the finished van. Everything we were hoping for, would 100% recommend these guys if you are thinking of owning a campervan! Really nice to be able to buy your dream van from a family business that has more enthusiasm for your van than you do! Well done guys! Keep at it!
