Campervan converter of the year

WINNER CamperKing

CamperKing Banbury Road, Warmington, Banbury, Oxfordshire OX17 1JJ camperking.co.uk ☎ 01295 500025 camper_king

The only campervan award not judged by our editorial experts, instead we asked you – readers and campervanners – to vote for your favourite converter.

The winner, CamperKing, is not a name you’ll have seen at the major motorhome shows and yet it claims to build more camper conversions on the Volkswagen Transporter than anyone else in the UK. That’s currently up to 35 vehicles per week.

Its premises, near Banbury in Oxfordshire, were previously a prestige car sales site where CamperKing can display up to seven of its campervans indoors, as well as showing different fl ooring, worktops, wheels, etc, to potential customers in its ‘confi guration lounge’.

It has also MoT facilities on site and an accessory shop selling everything from sleeping bags to awnings.

As well as selling campers direct, the company offers its VW-based range from 17 dealers around the UK. Its models – Portofino, Monte Carlo, Le Mans, St Tropez and Santorini, are all usually based on pre-registered panel vans as none of its conversions yet have Type Approval. At the time of writing, its stock ranged in price from £35,000 (on a 2016 van) up to £62,500.

If you’re uncertain that the campervan life is for you, it can also offer hire of one of its VW conversions, starting at £500 for three nights.
