Dad knew what to do after expensive holiday let-down

Tom Davies felt one part of his trip could be massively improved.

A dad turned a holiday disappointment into a successful business by accident. Tom Davies, 35, from Crosby, travelled to Iceland in 2017 with his wife Kayleigh and son Harry, who was six months old at the time.

There was one thing the family felt let down about on their break. Speaking to the ECHO, Tom said: “We did a trip to Iceland – me, my wife and baby at six months old. We travelled in a campervan.

They were disappointed by how little work had gone into improving the campervan, with an old fashioned interior and basic amenities. At around the same time, Tom was preparing to leave his dad’s manufacturing business to work for himself but his initial plans had fallen through.

He said: “My background is in engineering. I’d been working for my dad since I left school. It got to the point where it was clear that my auld fella wasn’t going to be retiring anytime soon. I wanted to do something of my own.

Thinking about your own?

Let's talk about your van.

From the Atlas range to a fully bespoke build, every van is designed and built in our Liverpool workshop.

Where next

Pre-designed, or bespoke.

Most people want a proven Camper Camper design, for a clearly defined specification, transparent pricing and a shorter build time. Or, if your requirements call for something different, we can design a bespoke conversion around the way you travel.

Whichever route suits you, it always starts with a free, no pressure conversation.

TLAS

Build me an Atlas

Atlas is our ready-designed campervan. The layout is already planned and proven. You choose from three spec levels, then make it yours with your choice of colours, finishes and selected extras.

Because the design work is already done, Atlas costs less than a fully bespoke build and takes less time to build.

Conversions start from £24,999 including VAT. A complete Atlas, including the van, will typically start from around £47,000 but the final price will depend on the age, mileage and condition of the van you choose.

Bespoke

I need something different

A layout that our signature range does not cover, an accessible build, an unusual base vehicle, or an individual installation on a van you already own — such as a pop-top, solar or heating.

  • Fully bespoke conversions
  • Individual installations and upgrades
  • Unusual and specialist projects
