Runaway Conversions is a UK-based bespoke campervan conversion company specialising in high-spec, fully custom builds designed for long-term ownership. With over 12 years of industry experience, every vehicle is built in-house with a focus on structural integrity, precision manufacturing, and electrical safety — not just visual appeal. We manufacture our cabinetry using CNC processes for accuracy and durability, use premium-grade materials throughout, and design each layout around how the vehicle will actually be used. No templates. No shortcuts. Our gas-free electrical systems are built around industry-leading Victron components and lithium lithium battery setups, with properly separated voltage systems, correct mounting, and considered heat management. We prioritise serviceability, clean installation, and long-term reliability. We build fewer vans than high-volume converters — but we build them properly. If you’re comparing companies, look beyond finishes. The real difference is in how the vehicle is engineered beneath the surface.

Services we offer for new campervan conversions
All furniture is precision CNC-machined for structural strength, accuracy, and long-term durability — not hand-cut template builds.
Founded by a qualified industry professional with over a decade in leisure vehicle engineering, electrical systems, and habitation standards.
No fixed templates. Every conversion is designed around how you actually travel, whether extended off-grid touring or refined weekend escapes.
Every full conversion includes structured 3D design consultations, allowing you to fully visualise your layout, materials, and electrical system before build begins. This ensures clarity, precision, and complete alignment prior to production.
“James & Co have recently completed a partial conversion on my new MAN TGE 4x4. Quality of finish is excellent and his suggestions and recommendations on various aspects of design (kitchen pod especially) were really welcome and helpful. Would definitely recommend Runaway Conversions. Give them a call...😎” — Carl Stoakes
“James and his team did a Kombi conversion on my Buzz. Cut in windows, insulated, carpeted, built a custom ceiling with lighting and fitted a rock and roll bed. I’m very pleased with the results! High attention to detail and professional service. Would recommend.” — Lionel Stanhope
“We recently had our VW MWB Crafter converted into a camper by Runaway , and we couldn’t be happier with the result. James, the owner, was nothing short of fantastic throughout the entire process. His professionalism, honest advice, and incredible craftsmanship are evident in every inch of the van. One of the standout features of our camper is the use of wood and lighting. The design strikes a perfect balance between aesthetics and functionality, creating a warm, inviting space that's both practical and beautiful. The custom design is truly one-of-a-kind, and it’s clear that James has a keen eye for detail. Throughout the conversion process, James was in constant communication with us. He kept us informed of every step, offering sound advice and ensuring that we could make informed decisions. This level of transparency and collaboration was crucial in achieving the high-quality finish we were looking for.” — Monty Smith
“As soon as I shared my vision for a mobile barbershop with James, I knew he was the right person for the job, despite his honesty about not having built one before. His willingness to provide information and guidance before I even committed was incredibly reassuring. James’s expertise in his craft made me feel confident that I was in safe hands. Throughout the project, he collaborated with me on every detail, incorporating some fantastic ideas of his own that enhanced the final design. Although the costs exceeded my initial budget, the quality of work far surpassed my expectations. I truly believe I got more value than I paid for. The end result is a clean, tidy, and prestigious mobile barbershop that stands out. Thank you, James, for making my dream a reality! I can honestly say I have the best-looking mobile barbershop in the country.” — DDTRIMZ
“Had some Camper additions carried out by James including windows, Pods, electrics & water tanks. He was always very approachable from the start and easy to communicate with and used his vast experience to advise the best products and solutions for my van. He kept me updated at all times and on collection I was very happy with the work carried out. Nothing is too much trouble for him and he has always been contactable with any questions after the work has been completed. I would highly recommend using James for any Camper projects!” — chipkiss001

“Just picked up my van that James has been working on since October, it’s such a nice job you have done for us thank you so much, also I have to say how much we apprechiated the support and ideas through the build, the whole experience left us feeling like we were in safe hands with no doubt at all that our van was going to be just right for us. I will be only too pleased to recommend James to anybody thinking on a camper, I am already enjoying my build… Thanks again James…” — Martin Gregory
