A few words from Sophie:
Van Life Builds are an exceptional team that went above and beyond to create my dream custom VW Crafter adventure wagon!
Working with them to bring our ideas to life was an absolute joy from start to finish.
Their attention to detail and craftsmanship is second to none.
They put their heart and soul into my van and I am so grateful not only to have found them, but for what they made possible
and the support they continue to offer me on my Van Life journey.
I cannot recommend them enough! Thank you!!! xx
Harmony - VW Crafter Long Wheel Base 170:
Key features: Wedge Shaped Oak Kitchen, Hallway With Storage Steps Leading To Bed, Velvet Handcrafted Headboard, Rear Twin Hammocks.
A personal project:
We used tiny home concepts creating key individual areas and a private bedroom. The decor is inspired by woodlands, using natural tones, wood and greens, BUT with a modern twist incorporating unusual angles, and a wedge shaped kitchen to really invite you in to the space!
The placement of the bathroom had never been seen before, it really helps to define the different zones.
This design can travel and sleep up to 3 people.
German Couple's Mercedes Sprinter Long Wheel Base 170:
Key features: Music Studio & Office, Twin Hammock Rack, Wood Burner, Parquet Flooring.
A few words from Sinnika & Johannes:
We really loved and enjoyed our journey with Van Life Builds from the first moment on. They worked in such a creative way and considered all of our wishes.
Van Life Builds made our dream come true to have such a wonderful, unique camper van, office on the road, and music studio for our business Natural Spirit.
We loved every single detail and would definitely build it the same way again.
Thank you so so much for everything!
Holly - Mercedes Sprinter Long Wheel Base 170:
Key features: Family Design, Travel & Sleeps 5, Large Dark Decor Wetroom With Mirrored Ceiling, Mini 'Boot Room' Area.
A few words from us:
We love helping facilitate this way of life for everyone, including families, this van can sleep up to 5 if required! There is a lot to squeeze in, and safety elements to consider, but with a little compromise it can be done! Even better, our partners Vanny Campers commissioned this build for their prize draw competition
and a family won it for less than 7 pounds!
That truly was the icing on the cake for this special build!
Janie Van Hool's Mercedes Sprinter Long Wheel Base 170:
Key features: Dog Bowl Station in Step, Large Bathroom, Comfort Seating Maximising Side Door Views, Cosy Wood Burner.
A few words from Janie:
It's impossible to find the words to say how fantastic the experience of working with #vanlifebuilds is. Firstly, they are incredibly complementary as a team - both visionaries in creating a project, but bringing different strengths. Secondly, they are so skilled at teasing out what you want when you don't know how to articulate it. Thirdly, they are brilliant fun, generous people who just want the best for their clients. Finally, they are overjoyed when you are happy - customer service like you'll never get anywhere else. We got the van of our dreams - unique, stylish, cool but also practical, built with an incredible eye for detail and the most amazing quality.
I feel so lucky that they agreed to our build - worth the wait.
Hazel - VW Crafter Long Wheel Base 170:
Key features: Boucle L Shape Sofa Bed, Bespoke Coffee Corner, Hidden Wetroom, Feature Mural Wall.
A few words from us:
Our partners Vanny Campers asked us to create them a van that would feel like a big warm hug in the winter! This was our first ever design that had a closed off cab, there is also an L shaped sofa bed as opposed to a fixed bed! It was great to get more of a well rounded opinion on these controversial topics, to better advise our future clients!
Josephine's Mercedes Sprinter Long Wheel Base 170:
Key features: Icelandic Design, Roof Top Seating, Outdoor Hammocks, Hand Made Wine Chest, Feature Wooden Ceiling.
A few words from Josephine:
What a wonderful experience this was for us to have our van built at Van Life Builds. They are so incredibly passionate about what they do and put their life and souls into it. The results speak for themselves. Every detail is thought through with artistry and flare. They listened and collaborated so patiently and incorporated all our desires into the design. It was such a pleasurable experience. I can whole heartedly recommend them.

A few words from Ian & Deb:
We are speechless. You have produced the most amazing van for us. Everything so well thought out and so beautifully finished. We can hardly believe it is ours!
Thank you for all your hard work and dedication in building this beautiful home on wheels for us!
We LOVE it!
We think you have done an amazing job to produce this with such a high quality finish, to capture and translate everything that we could hope for from the other side of the world, is a testament to your patience and skills.
Juliet - Mercedes Sprinter Medium Wheel Base 144:
Key features: Weekend / Holiday Layout for 2, Romantic Four Poster Canopy Bed, Extendable Space Saving Kitchen With Outdoor BBQ, Large Comfort Couch.
A few words from us:
The client gave us creative freedom on this small, parking friendly van, the brief was a romantic retreat for 2, all ready for upcoming snuggle season, hello four poster bed!
We managed to get near to everything you would expect to see in a larger van conversion, including a fixed wet-room and bed with flares, a large garage storage beneath, along with a comfy couch, and a tiny home style space saving kitchen with extendable prep areas.
Tim Tam - Mercedes Sprinter Long Wheel Base 170:
Key features: Travel & Sleeps 4, L Shape Tiny Kitchen, Wood Burner, Surf Board Rack, Custom Hammock System.
A personal project:
Designed with a tiny living and minimalistic approach, keeping the items and measurements small scale and 'van sized' can really make a difference to the overall open feel of a van. By using dividing walls and individual sections it really made a van feel like home, in this instance there is a dining / office / travel area for up to 4 people, a kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms, plus garage to rear.

Tiffany - Mercedes Sprinter Extra Long Wheel Base:
Key features: Functional Family Design, Huge 7ft Unique Angled Bed, Versatile Swivel Tables, Travel & Sleeps 4.
A few words from us:
We did things a bit differently this time around, and created a camper design predominantly using market research and feedback from you! The result is a functional layout for up to 4 adults, perfect for families or festivals! The design includes a wardrobe, and a largely requested full length mirror, it seems us Vanlifers like to look good!

A few words from Amy:
From the first time I spoke to Van Life Builds I knew I had found a team I really wanted to work with, little did I know they would become very good friends.
I had followed Van Life Builds on Instagram for sometime, they are really passionate about their work, the craftsmanship that goes in to the vans is amazing.
I really cannot thank them enough on the incredible job they have done, since having my van we have kept in contact
and they have always been at the end of the phone to help me.
Jade truly has become a great friend that has gone out of her way to help me with setting up my van hire business, you have believed in me when I haven't believed in myself.
I'll be forever grateful.

Summer - Renault Master Medium Wheel Base:
Key features: Hidden Cook Top & Multi Use Table, Central Wetroom, Dual Storage Steps, Outdoor Hammocks.
A few words from us:
This van started its life as a mini bus, and came to us with windows pre installed the whole way around, the challenge was to not build over them,
instead we made them a feature by adding beach style slatted blinds.
We especially love the unique charming flow around the bathroom that leads up to the private bedroom, and we removed the need of lots of bulky upper cabinets by utilising the steps for all important storage. This small van has been designed for holiday / part time living for up to 2.
