Why we do what we do?


Welcome to Built Not Bought Campers, where adventure meets craftsmanship. We are a passionate team of custom Campervan builders dedicated to transforming your dream of hitting the open road into a reality. Nestled in the heart of East Sussex and Bedfordshire, our workshops are where creativity thrives and innovation drives our projects forward.

Our Story

Built Not Bought Campers was founded with a simple yet profound vision: to empower travelers to explore the world on their own terms. Our journey began when Carl realised the limitations of traditional coach built motorhomes and campers. Fueled by a desire for freedom and a love for craftsmanship, Carl set out to build custom Campervans that embody both functionality and style.

Since our humble beginnings, we've grown into a trusted name in the Campervan industry, known for our attention to detail, quirky and stylish finishes. Each project we undertake is infused with the same passion and dedication that sparked the beginning of our business, ensuring that every camper we build is a true reflection of our craftsmanship and your unique vision.

Our Philosophy

At Built Not Bought Campers, we believe that the journey is just as important as the destination. That's why we approach every build with a focus on creating not just a mode of transportation, but a home on wheels that inspires adventure and fosters unforgettable experiences. From planning to handing over your dream, we work closely with you to understand your needs, preferences, and aspirations, ensuring that the end result exceeds your expectations.

What Sets Us Apart

  • Customization: No two adventurers are alike, so why should their Campervans be? We offer a wide range of customization options, allowing you to tailor every aspect of your camper to suit your lifestyle and preferences.

  • Quality Craftsmanship: Our team consists of skilled builders who take pride in their workmanship. Whether it's woodworking, electrical systems, or interior design, we hold ourselves to the highest standards to deliver Campervans that are not only beautiful but also built to last.

  • Customer Focussed: Your satisfaction is our top priority. From the moment you walk through our doors to the first time you hit the road in your newly built Campervan, we are committed to providing an exceptional customer experience every step of the way.
