Homesmith Campers

I would firstly like to say a huge thank you to James & Sarah for the work they have done in converting our VW Crafter panel van into the fantastic Camper Van Stan! The end result is better than we had imagined and we are so looking forward to many adventures and travels with Stan. We had meetings with a number of converters and the stand out qualities that helped us decide on Homesmith Campers were the very personal involvement of James & Sarah, from the beginning they understood that the conversion was very personal to us and they also made it personal to them. During the planning discussions James & Sarah were always happy to listen to our requests, regardless of unusual they were, to embrace the challenges and work on solutions, a real can do approach to the whole build. The communication throughout the build was easy prompt and always helpful, it appeared there was never a wrong time to contact them and no questions or requests were too difficult to deal with. The workmanship in our conversion is excellent, the guidance and advice on equipment and appliances has been invaluable and reassuring. The result is a very bespoke and unique camper van providing us with everything we were looking for and requested. You may wonder if it was a cheap conversion, well no it wasn't but it is most definitely great value for money and we are delighted with our decision to work with James & Sarah at 'Homesmith Campers'

We gave James a tough brief with Pip; we asked him to base his design on our current, 26 year old van, which we wanted to replace with a new Peugeot Boxer. But right from his very prompt response to our initial enquiry, Jamess enthusiasm, knowledge and can-do attitude shone through and we knew wed got the right man for our project. In the run-up to the start of our build, James very patiently guided us through the various options and spent a long time finding ingenious ways to give us the layout and features that we wanted. Our new van is the smallest Homesmith to date, and we are delighted with it. The workmanship is outstanding. We would thoroughly recommend James and Sarah to anyone who wants a campervan that is individual as well as stylish. Homesmith have been a joy to work with.

We worked with James to convert our Citroen Relay into an off grid adventure camper for mountain bike and hiking trips. From a vague Pinterest Board, a budget and some rough measurements James was able to guide us through loads of options and decisions that without his real experience of living in his van would have been really difficult for us. Once we had settled on a plan we had regular chats about options and had just the right amount of input without feeling like we had to choose every detail. Communication was great throughout the build and we especially looked forward to Friday night photos! We are so pleased with the final result. James hit every part of our brief and his suggestions for changes or alterations have all turned out to be correct. Overall we could not recommend the service, communication or final build highly enough. We feel our van is exactly the style and function we wanted but combined with Jamess experience of living in and working on other vans. We would certainly use him again but we love our van so much we cant imagine needing another!

Having looked around for a converter for our Fiat Ducato for some time and not quite finding anyone we were comfortable with, we had a call with James and were reassured straight away by his easy going, honest and approachable manner. As this is our first campervan we were hoping for advice along the way on options we should and shouldnt consider and we werent disappointed. Throughout the build James gave great advice based on his previous wealth of experience. We agreed a timeframe and he came in as planned in fact slightly ahead. We also agreed his costs upfront and again came in as planned. A detailed cost breakdown was provided and updated throughout the project. Very clear and transparent process. Plenty of discussion as we needed along the way and always easy to contact. Regular photos as the work progressed and was always positive to act on our feedback. The end result was just what we had asked for. We are over the moon with the results A pleasure dealing with James and Sarah and would highly recommend. Nice people to do business with. Thanks again Kevin &Pauline

We are so delighted by the van James at Homesmith Campers has fitted out for us and really enjoyed the process. James fitted out our 2017 Peugeot Boxer changing the seating configuration, adding 4 windows and extractor fan, installing water heater, internal and external shower, composting loo, gas oven and hob, 12v and 240v electrics powered by solar and alternator, and awesome ply and formica furniture including foldout double and single beds. Despite delivering this during the pandemic, which meant we couldn't visit during the build, we were kept up to date with regular photos, calls and texts to check in on details where useful. James was super accommodating and helped loads with selecting the right fittings etc. Would highly recommend James and homesmith campers.
