Following on from the success of Morning Campers, a camper van hire company set up three years ago by Steven Thompson, two other local business men, David Greenhaf, of Pure Vans, and David Busson, of The Stand People, decided to join forces and launch Pure VWCampers.

After 18 years in Corps Royal Engineers, Steven Thompson decided to pursue a career involving his life-long love of VWcamper vans.

The vehicles in his hire company are constantly hired out and a number of his regular customers began looking to buy their own vehicles, and after discussions with his two partners Pure VW Campers was set up.

The company specialises in supplying fully converted VWcampers designed to customers’ specifications, and also converting customers’ existing VWvans.
Steven uses his extensive knowledge and experience when advising and assisting customers with their requirements. He has several design options for short and long wheel base transporters.

He completes all work himself in a meticulous manner ensuring the finish is of the highest quality. Each conversion takes between two and three weeks.
The company was launched in July 2015 and has sold 15 vehicles to date to as far north as Aberdeen.

The order book is increasing constantly and David Greenhaf said: “We are extremely pleased with how the company has gone so far. We are all excited for the future. We began this business thinking we would sell eight to 10 vehicles per year but given our sales and current orders this figure is likely to double.

“Our team is constantly looking for new and innovative ideas for conversions and we are always ready to listen to customers’ requirements, however strange and demanding they may appear. The team have customised VW campers for surfers, rock climbers, skiers and fishermen and are always up for a challenge.”

“We are VW camper van enthusiasts, and understand our conversions need to meet the demands of everyday use,” said Steven.

“Whether you’re surfers, adventure thrill seekers or looking for a family camper van for weekend breaks, you can be confident that every aspect of a Pure VW conversion has been designed to be practical and long-lasting, with our customers safety and enjoyment, always at the forefront of our development.
“We have a flexible approach to your conversion project, but our real strength is being able to supply new donor vehicles and the conversion as a complete package. If you prefer, bring your treasured van to us, and we will prepare the vehicle ready for the conversion package you choose.”
