Simon and Felicity were really supportive and enthusiastic from the off. They helped us to find and purchase a suitable van (that was an experience in itself as our knowledge of vans was very poor!) then designing a build that would suit our needs and requirements. On completion of the work, within the agreed timescale, everything was revealed and to say we loved Wolfpact’s work is an understatement. We were totally overwhelmed by the end result. The craftsmanship throughout was fabulous. So many small finishing touches were added throughout the van that it was unrecognisable from the van we initially bought. We love the way reclaimed wood has been used throughout. This project has helped to give us something special to look forward to in 2021 throughout what has been a very difficult time for everyone.
Having decided to enter the campervan rental market, I commissioned Wolfpact to build 2 vans for me. Both were brand new Fiat Ducato vans, that were to be converted into 4 berth campers. The spec: rustic but with all the mod-cons such as a hot shower, diesel heater, fridge etc. Before mine was built I saw that they were selling Tikanni, a build they had just completed. The quality of finish was outstanding and I had the chance to buy a van that was ready to go! I now have 3 beautiful handcrafted campers that I rent out with rave reviews!
Wolfpact were amazing when I came to them with the idea of converting a Caddy into a camper! Simon had a great vision for the van utlising the small amount of space and making it a tiny bedroom away from home! The wooden interior and additional details and wooden waves and beautiful fabric finished Trudy off perfectly and the masses of storage make her the perfect weekend away van.

I commissioned a build with Simon and Felicity as I needed a van for a road trip around France with my 2 girls. Living in Cornwall with all the narrow roads, I wanted a smaller van but with room for all of us. Simon helped me source the van and created a quirky campervan with loads of clever storage, bunk beds for the kids and even a climbing wall on the back! To say that we were thrilled with the van was an understatement!
Alaska made our first campervan holiday a winner! Alaska has everything and more that we needed to "wild camp"
Alaska made our adventure perfect! All the way through Loch Lomond to Isle of Arran and back. We want to do this again and again.
We took Alaska to the Outer Hebrides. The set up of the van was very homely and cooking was delicious ! The trip exceeded our expectations.
Recently purchased a 2017 BMW 430i from Crowther Lodge. Stephen was nothing but fantastic during my part exchange valuation and the general sale of the car, him and a few members of his team came in on a day off in order to fit my schedule which I can not be more grateful for. I have ran into one VERY MINOR software issue with my new car which the team at Crowther Lodge have been very supportive about and have assisted me throughout the process of getting it sorted. Would 100% recommend this garage to anyone! Great prices, great valuations and extremely professional.
I bought Kia carens car , the staff was very polite and before give Car delivery they have done mot and make sure the car is perfect and ready to use the road. I really liked that service provided . i am giving 5 star Rating . Thanks Ramesh London
I was very pleased with the service I received at this dealership from start to finish. Cameron and Steve were very friendly, professional, and genuinely helpful throughout the whole process. They took the time to explain everything clearly and with care, answering any questions I had without any pressure or sales talk. I’d happily recommend this dealership to anyone looking for a smooth, no-nonsense, and straightforward experience. Thank you once again gents.
UPDATE: I have had the van almost a year and a half now and had my first issue. I got a slow puncture on passenger rear tyre. Not a big issue I thought, except the bolts had been put on at an angle and striped the threads of the bolts and hub. As the wheel had never been off this must have been Crowther when swapping the wheels over when I got the van. When I contacted them they asked for photos, which I sent and I also sent a letter from the garage stating that I would need a new hub and bolts as the current ones were too damaged to put back on. I had the rest of the wheels checked and although another 2 wheels were over tightest they were put on straight. I thought that Crowther should pay for my repair as there is no way I could have known about the wrong fitting of my wheel. I tried calling another couple of times, but no one called back. This looks like a company that are not interested in customer care, only sales. Can’t recommend them for any mechanical work after the lack of care in putting on my wheel. This is the only conclusion I can come to after their lack of response to my issue, so just thought I would put my experience with the company here. Bought my first camper van and collected it today. Steve was super helpful with the handover and I feel very confident after the demo of the habitation area, the pop top roof, RIB bed, gas, electric and water setup. Gary was also extremely helpful when showing me how to lower the pop top as Steve injured his shoulder, but that’s enough about them 😆. The van is stunning and the quality and craftsmanship of the fixtures and fittings is top class. I would recommend this company very highly for sales advice and quality of their camper vans.
Contacted Gary on 02/01/25 regarding this BMW 730d, had a very pleasant honest conversation and agreed on a deal. Traveled from Liverpool 03/01/25 and took ownership of the vehicle, and drove home, stunning drive, absolutely delighted. Thanks to Gary and the team for your professionalism, and flawless handover. It can be a bit of a mine field buying used cars and trusting sales staff, however I've no doubt the vehicle I've purchase is well maintained, as described, and also bought at a very competitive rate compared to other dealers. Thanks again, and see you soon when i get bored and decide to spin it. 👌
Every Wolfpact build is entirely bespoke and designed around the client's individual needs.

Wolfpact is based in [Gateshead](/campervan-converters-gateshead), Tyne and Wear, with the postcode NE8 3HL. Their fully equipped workshop is located near Newcastle upon Tyne. It is here that the team hand-builds each custom campervan conversion, focusing on one project at a time to ensure high standards of craftsmanship.
Yes, Wolfpact is deeply connected to animal welfare. The brand is inspired by the owners' four rescue huskies, and the company donates a percentage of its profits to Balto & Co Dog Rescue. This charitable commitment, or 'pact', is a fundamental part of their business identity.
While Wolfpact's primary focus is on custom-commissioned builds, they do occasionally sell [ready-made campervans](/services/van-sales). For instance, a past client purchased a completed build named 'Tikanni' directly from them. This offers a way to acquire one of their handcrafted vans without commissioning a full custom project from the start.
Wolfpact converts a wide variety of vans, tailoring the design to the vehicle's size and the owner's needs. Past projects mentioned include brand new Fiat Ducato vans converted into 4-berth campers and smaller vans like a VW Caddy transformed into a compact weekender. Their bespoke approach allows them to adapt designs to different base vehicles.
