Where is the best place to buy a converted van from? Or, ones that do first class conversions.

I ask as there are so many businesses out there!!!

I don't think you'll get get a black or white answer on this one as it will be very subjective and from what I have hear a lot of companies are either taking cost cutting measures or going bust.

A great source of information for myself on self conversion is from Coombe Valley Campers so maybe one to look at.

The big boys that I know of in the market are Vanworx and Camperking but I couldn't tell you anything about their quality.
 
*** Buyer Beware ***
Think carefully, do your research, and take a qualified mechanic or vehicle inspector with you before considering any campervan purchase from Denby Campervans. This is not a scare mongering post, nor is it intended to be defamatory - however it is written from personal experience regarding poor, unsafe and even dangerous standards workmanship.
 
Remember, Manufacturers Warranties are voluntary. You have Statatory Legal Rights - in other words Satisfactory As Described, Fit for Purpose, and Last a Reasonable Length of Time. Unfortunately Denby Campervans fail to fall into this category. I am happy to share their emails confirming this. Buyer beware.
 
All depends on your budget too. Places like Leighton Vans, Ape Adventure Vans, CJL, CamperKing, Vanworx, Van Haven, Three Bridges all do top end conversions to suit different needs, requirements etc. Hope you've got deep pockets though!
 
Needs, spec, budget, resale, NCC or IVA approval, etc, all make a big difference.

In my case I was pretty uneducated on the subject so stuck to builders with NCC and IVA approval, which was pricy and limited choice somewhat. Nevertheless, if you want genuine quality, aftersales support and the reassurance a reputation going back decades it was the only way to do it.

Someone with greater knowledge than me can take a punt at a wider range of vehicles for perhaps a smaller budget and come away similarly happy.
