Vanlife Conversions at the NEC Caravan, Camping & Motorhome Show 2025
Last month we had the incredible opportunity to showcase our work at the NEC Caravan, Camping & Motorhome Show. It was an unforgettable experience, and we want to thank everyone who stopped by our stand to chat, explore our designs, and share their enthusiasm for van life!
Our stand
As it was our first time at the NEC, we really wanted to go all out on our display stand and give visitors a taste of what Vanlife Conversions has to offer.
At the heart of our stand was “Gus”, a previous van conversion in our popular Kunu layout. We chose Gus because he is a great example of how our vans can combine stylish design with high-spec features.
Designed for off-grid capability, Gus runs entirely gas-free on a 48V electrical system with 640W of solar. This build also features premium upgrades such as a water purifying system, a custom roof rack, and a small third bed - all wrapped up in a bespoke vintage aesthetic.
You can check out the full video tour of Gus here.
Beyond showcasing Gus, we wanted our stand to be as informative and engaging as possible. For this we created 3D models of all our van conversion layouts Kunu, Milo, and Rudi so visitors could have a clear visual of each unique design.
We also designed a column display with samples of our customisable options including soft furnishing fabrics, door fronts, handles, and tiles.
We even created a reception desk styled like one of our kitchen units, so visitors can see our craftsmanship and design style up close.
The feedback we had from people was amazing and we can’t wait to have more displays like this in the future. You can check out a tour of our display stand on instagram.
Connecting with the community
One of the biggest highlights of the event was meeting so many fellow van conversion enthusiasts, suppliers, and industry colleagues. Seeing the incredible work others are doing in the field is always inspiring and it’s amazing to witness how people are pushing the boundaries of van conversions and the shared passion we have.
Runner-up in the 2025 Caravan and Motorhome Design Awards
An unexpected surprise was being named runner-up in the 2025 Caravan and Motorhome Design Awards for ‘Van conversions with a fixed roof under 6m’. There were some incredible models competing so we are really proud to have come runner up against some of the biggest names in the industry, and also receive such lovely feedback from the judges!
Thank You!
Once again a huge thank you to everyone who stopped by our stand! Whether you came to chat about your future van conversion, explore our design options, or just say hello, we loved meeting you!
