the company
We specialize in crafting bespoke luxury campervans, each uniquely tailored to reflect the individual character, charm, and preferences of our esteemed clientele. Our approach emphasizes distinctiveness for every customer. Our team have extensive experience, nearly a decade's worth, in off-grid living and in converting vehicles into off-grid homes. We are confident in our expertise and know our stuff!
All of our woodworking and cabinetry are meticulously handcrafted in our bespoke Lymington workshop, utilizing only the finest materials. We genuinely appreciate the opportunity to create unique layouts and designs for each project, rather than simply replicating and making minor adjustments to previous designs. Consequently, every new build benefits from completely unique furniture, cabinetry, and woodwork, thereby ensuring a truly exceptional and unique finished product.
Our converted vans feature charming interiors, yet their appeal extends beyond mere aesthetics. They are outfitted with advanced off-grid technology, including Victron controllers, inverters, and chargers, complemented by the latest LifePO4 batteries, to facilitate your exploration aspirations at any time, in any location, entirely off the grid. We are committed to crafting fully functional, year-round "Homes on wheels" that offer warmth and comfort. Our thorough construction methodology ensures that even the concealed components are as impeccable as those that are visible.
In addition to our handcrafted woodwork, we also provide in-house metal fabrication, CNC plasma cutting, laser engraving/cutting, and even bespoke 3D printed parts specifically for our conversions.

TESTIMONIALS
NIM - VW Crafter XLWB 4MOTION
“Tobias has been unbelievable throughout the whole process and helped every step of the way, always thoughtfully analysing each element of the build so it was perfect. We had a lot to fit in to Nim on the technical side of things, and I am over the moon with how the van came together. His craftsmanship is second to none and the levels of care and detail have just been mind-blowing. I can’t go anywhere without people looking at Nim in amazement!
Tobias has been a pleasure to work with and to get to know. I can’t recommend him strongly enough.”
VANIZZA - Mercedes Sprinter LWB
“VANHAUS Conversions did an amazing job with our Mercedes Sprinter ‘The Vanizza’. The whole service was fantastic from start to finish and we couldn’t be happier with the end result. Tobias is incredibly skilled, diligent and creative and this shows in all of the unique and bespoke designs he creates for his clients, including us. He even managed to build in a sliding TV and desktop gaming PC for my other half, something we didn’t think possible at the start.
We can’t thank Tobias enough for everything he did, the van surpassed our (very high!) expectations and we can’t wait to continue travelling around in it for many years to come. If you’re thinking of asking Tobias to work on your project, don’t hesitate - go for it! You won’t regret it.”
BEAR - Ford Transit JUMBO
“Tobias has been nothing but outstanding throughout the whole process.
Totally honest and open from the first phone call with an after sales approach that is second to none! His passion and skills are clear to see everywhere you look and no questions are left unanswered.
If you’re looking for a top quality conversion, designed to suit your needs, and the knowledge to get the most out of it, you need not look any further!”
FREDDIE - Mercedes Sprinter LWB
“From start to finish, my experience with Tobias at VANHAUS Conversions was fantastic! Tobias worked closely with me throughout the build to make my dream home on wheels. Nothing is too much trouble for him, and he always makes time to talk through details on the phone. I loved visiting at various stages of the build and seeing my vision become a reality. Tobias puts so much care and attention into his work, he’s incredibly skilled and such a perfectionist. As a result my van is beautiful and functional, perfect for full time living!”
NARNIA - 1992 Fiat Ducato Dethleffs Motorhome
“We bought Narnia (a 1992 Fiat Ducato Dethleffs Camper) in the summer of 2020, with the intention of stripping out all of the original interior and rebuilding it as a tiny log cabin on wheels.
We managed to complete the strip out, however once it got to the rebuild part we got majorly stuck, and knew we needed help. After contacting many builders we finally landed on VANHAUS Conversions, and we are so glad that we did. Tobias’ eye for details, craftsmanship and passion for what he does is something really special.
He truly is an artist. He was always very easy to communicate with and really listened to what our vision was (and make that come to life). Every morning we wake up and have to pinch ourselves because our van really is just that good. The build quality, materials used and the construction are all to a very high standard, and we have not had any issues with anything yet (been living full time now for nearly 2 years). We couldn’t recommend VANHAUS Conversions highly enough. You will be guaranteed a quality, bespoke build at a reasonable price.”
BUBBLE - VW Crafter MWB
“To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream, not only plan, but also believe!’
- Anatole France
A quote I read on the wall at the VANHAUS Conversions workshop.
I had a dream I believed so badly, but I lacked all the acting and planning necessary to accomplish it! The truth is, if it wasn’t for Tobias and VANHAUS Conversions, I would never had achieved that dream.
Tobias supported me all through the build and helped with hard decisions. He was kind and professional. A breath of fresh air. I’m honoured to have my home on wheels built by VANHAUS Conversions, and totally recommend Tobias and his crew’s services.”
NIRVANA - Mercedes Sprinter XLWB
“I feel so blessed that it was you who saw my dream into an even more beautiful reality than I had imagined. I was truly shocked, 2 years-and-a-bit ago, when you delivered her, how beautiful she was. My attachment only deepens (what a bad Buddhist!) as sweet memories build up.
Thanks also for the tireless efforts and high standards. And for how, even when exhausted, you dig deep and find another “Yes” with which to plough on. You’re a remarkable human and creative genius.
Much love to you and darling Sammi. I hope you both have a chance to stand back and congratulate yourselves. At the worst of all times, you have achieved so much and are literally making people’s life goals and dreams come true.”
