I have had my trusty Jacks shack van for over 4 years. I bought it converted and haven’t had any of the issues some others seem to complain of. The electrics needed looking at so popped back recently. Frankie fixed it the same afternoon! I wouldn’t hesitate to go back again for any issues or maybe an upgrade..

I recently bought a vw camper van that was converted a few years ago by Jacks Shack. I was unsure how a few things worked so popped in to ask for some advice. Frankie was really helpful and patient and demonstrated how everything worked. Thank you so much for your help.

Thers only one place to be "Jack Shack "There is no end to how much these guys…

There is no end to how much these guys were helpful, we have an custom air ride adapted van for our son, that broke suddenly, within 30 mins of a very helpful phone call i was at the workshop and 1 hour later i was back on the road, thank you to all the guys at the shack who rallies around to find the parts needed to fix the van, totally recommend to anyone who believes in real customer service.

A high quality van and helpful staff.

In January we bought a used VW Transporter previously converted by them. They were most helpful in advising us over which van to select. Their after-sales support was great.

We have had a few trips away and are looking forward to using our van over the summer.

These guys are great

These guys are great. Purchased an amazing VW camper from them in November 2023 different from any others we had seen, built on a new van. Clayton power means we have power for days, even has an induction hob. Help was at the end of the phone when we needed it on first trip out and they have been happy to answer any questions we have had since we got the van which we have now had for a few months.

One of the highs for me is the great craftsmanship and pride taken in the work.

Would not hesitate to recommend Jack’s Shack for a campervan build.

They even managed to sell our previous van for us.

Jack's Shack are the guys you need to build your van, your way.
The attention to detail is beautiful and throughly well thought out.
I love my van and showing it off all while without even realising it.
That speaks volumes.

New gas system

Jack, Marc and Frankie helped me out with my T25 camper on a number of occassions. Most notably, they helped to make my very old gas system safe with new copper piping.

Do not entrust your camper van with these guys

Seriously - do not put your camper van into these guys' hands. The quality of workmanship is poor. You will end up having to take it somewhere else or fixing the issues they have created yourself. Note - they can remove reviews on Google - so this is the reason all reviews there are positive. Trustpilot and FB they cannot.

Xr2 restoration project almost up in flames.

Xr2 restoration project
Very bad review incoming.Waiting on report to disclose full list of problems...Paint has lasted 6 months,it requires another respray...Cracking and rust coming through paint.
Unable to drive vehicle because ive been advised and warned it is extremely dangerous to drive.
Petrol leaking from numerous points.Brake fluid leaking out every point...Do not trust these with your passion...Tried to resolve but getting that liquidation message.Xr2 currently sat unable to use.50th birthday surprise ruined.Almost 20'000 pounds lost.DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY WITH YOUR PASSION --will update with report and bankers merchant judgement...My thoughts to john and jess,i hope you find the solution.It seems PAST THREE comments have been literally burned!!! DO NOT trust this company.

it went to independent mot and brought it back because it unsafe...Cervo master cylinder doesn't match the spare ,i bought two,replaced 2016,the One i have here doesn't match the one fitted, stolen by you!!! Carburetor not original doesn't match photos taken prior too you taking it for restoration and swapping it for other carburetor...So you lie about you mot'ing vehicle,and you steel parts and replace them with knackered parts--- YOU DID NOT MOT XR2--- I HAD TOO BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T EVEN DRIVE XR2--- LIARS AND THIEVES --- as for saying nothing was brought to your attention,CRAP-- engine needs rebuild,clutch gone,brakes knackered,non original parts,carburetor non original.Half a sqray job,didnt do interior or underside,paint bubbling and rust spots everywhere.Parts missing,Swapped out for inferior parts.You destroyed it.A simple air fix model you said......Con merchants....Zero-based trust.You had it back and did nothing.You gave the quote for complete restoration,.All we got was half a car resprayed.You even had it on spit roast,ready to spray and didn't...When we tried to get in contact,you had gone into liquidation and no contact could be made,we did in fact find out from employee who informed us jaxshack has gone bust and is no longer employed,and stated it came out of nowhere without warning or notice...It would have caught fire.It was that close.You gave back a dangerous vehicle.A vehicle that could very easily,kill someone..Thankfully,im glad that isnt the case.

Hi Pete,

We're really sorry you're displeased with the work undertaken on your XR2. The vehicle passed an independant MOT after leaving the shack. As with any car of this age, there is always going to be ongoing maintenance and adjustment, we would be happy to help with this. As to the paint work, we have no record of you bringing any issues with the paint to our attention but likewise, we would be happy to help with this if we are able.

Kind regards,
Jack's Shack

Shockingly bad workmanship, they will ruin your dream van.

Shockingly bad workmanship and they may steal your money.

These guys are terrible at what they do. We paid them a lot of money to convert our van and they did half a shoddy job then called us and all the other clients to say come get your half finished vans we are going into liquidation. They changed their name on companies house then just started up with the same name (no longer limited) in kegworth. They kept all of our money, failed to pay up against the ccj we now have against them.

Their workmanship was horrendous. We are still fixing all the stuff they botched now. Do not trust these wide boys. We they talk a good talk but I would many trust them to put a shelf up having seen their work let alone with a whole conversion.

Happy to chat to anyone about our experiences so nobody else has their dream van ruined.

Pic is of our van smoking after they fitted the whole heating system incorrectly and we had to pay 2.5 k for someone else to remedy.

As an addition given the feedback from these shysters. None of the issues I am bothered about having anything to do with the battery issue. That was separate (if I'm honest I suspect a dangerous installation). My review is on the implementation of the rest of the van. DO NOT TRUST THESE UNQUALIFIED GOONS. THEIR POOR WORKMANSHIP KEEPS ON GIVING & YOU WQILL WILL REGRET EVER HAVING GETTING INVOLVED WITH THESE CON MEN. THEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES.

Whilst "opinions may differ", the pictures, videos and emails from the contractors who remedied the work will tell the real story without prejudice. Please feel free to contact me directly for copies of these. Feel free to look up my 'awarded' CCJ against these amateurs also. Of course, they haven't paid that either.

Hi Jess,

We're gutted at the series of events around this build and particularly the fire caused by the faulty lithium battery that was supplied to you by a third party of your choosing. In an attempt to learn from this situation, we have now changed our policy and only fit products we have sourced ourselves, so we can ensure safety and take full liability for any issues that arise.

As the battery company admitted liability for the fire, and as agreed with yourselves, we would have loved to be able to complete this build for you to our normal high-standard. Unfortunately, you decided to complete the work elsewhere. While this is understandable (your vehicle was at Jack's Shack when the battery melted down, after all), it does leave us unable to complete the work - as it is already complete.

While our opinions of the events may differ, we all very much hope that you are able to enjoy your conversion to the fullest.

Kind regards,
Jack's Shack

It is a long and tragic saga

It is a long and tragic saga, but I will keep this brief.

JS were supposed to convert my friend's crafter and complete it around a year ago, however, they never finished it and worse than that:

1. They set it on fire
2. Said they were entering into receivership on 14 March 2023
3. Told us to collect it or the liquidator will take possession of it
4. We have been left with the difficulty of remediating the fire damage and completing it and the van still has so many defects

Jack’s Shack Limited has now changed its name to Mountsorrel Campervan Limited, Jack’s Shack does not exist as a limited firm, I cannot post links but check at Companies House.

Do not trust these charlatans.

Outstanding service and quality of work.

Lynne Smith - Took our basic van to Jacks Shack for Pop Top, Electrics, Swivel Seat and Pull out Awning. Seamless experience from start to finish, even though we were not looking for a full conversion. Customer service and quality of work was outstanding. Would recommend to anyone.
