Job well done

Okay, I had bought my Van, newly furnished for me about 18 months previously. I had various niggles with it after a years good camp out. I spoke to one of the directors who simply said write out list send it, book the van in, if when you arrive you have found other things that require attention just tell us. I did, left the Van with them, all things completed including extras, all free of charge. Well done Bodans.

Beautiful Blue campervan

Our T6.1 Pentire van is coming up to its third birthday, We hired a van from a local rental company in the early autumn of 2020, in the midst of COVID to try out a move from camping in tents. We liked the conversion (Bodans of course) so much, that we went ahead and ordered the following week. One of our best purchasing decisions ever.

We’ve mainly used the van in the UK for different kinds of camping and festival sites. It has worked brilliantly everywhere - grass/hardstanding pitch,on grid/off grid , short-stay/long-stay - just so versatile.

Bodans service from ordering to finish was great. After sales as well. We’ve also used them for habitation checks, for a couple of minor wear and tear repairs, and to add an extra shelf in one of the cupboards.

Bodans are the best!

Our new VW T6.1 Conversion

We picked up our van at the end of June, absolutely fab conversion. We are so pleased with the conversion, and Bodans!. From when we first showed interest in a possible conversion right through to completion, Bodans were great! They never tried to sell us anything, just answered all our questions honestly. Nothing was to much trouble, we were constantly in communication, they were always helpful and patient! Quality of work is also amazing, would highly recommend Bodans, super little company!!

Quality professionally built campervans

I recently collected my newly converted VW T6.1 campervan from Bodans Campervans of Shrewsbury.
What a fantastic campervan they have created from my original new van! Their workmanship and professionalism is first class. I opted for their Haughmond conversion and they tailored it for my chosen preferences from the many options they offer.
Their help and advice throughout the conversion was excellent. They kept me up to date throughout and sent progress photos of the van.
I did a lot of online research prior to choosing Bodans and I found their conversion specifications ticked all the boxes as they used quality crash tested components as standard such as a Reimo elevating roof and RIB seat/bed system. But they will cater for your bespoke requirements.
I attended the Caravan and Motorhome Show at the NEC Birmingham and Bodans Campervans really stood out from the competition and made my mind up to use Bodans for my conversion.
If you are looking at buying a new or used camper or wanting your own VW Transporter converted, I can highly recommend Bodans Campervans at Shrewsbury.

Outstanding workmanship and after sales care

We spent months deciding on the spec for our new van. We visited about 4 times and Bodans were patient, helpful, knowledgeable and flexible. The van was completed on time and with outstanding workmanship. Since we took ownership in August 2022 we've travelled around France, Spain, Italy, Croatia in searing heat, freezing cold and floods, and our Bodans van has performed brilliantly. Everything is great quality, works very well and never fails. It's superb.The after sales care is also excellent. I've had various queries about tyres pressures and water tank cleaning for example which have always been answered promptly and helpfully. I've been hugely impressed and would strongly recommend.

If you want the Best go to the Best

When we made the decision that we wanted to get a New VW Transporter and have it professionally converted we did a lot of Google searches and joined Facebook groups to get ideas and advice.

This gave us a good idea of the Campervan we wanted and also narrowed down our idea of a Professional converter to do the work. After visiting 4 different companies we chose Bodans, as they were the only one that didn’t want to sell us one they had in stock and were more than happy to go out of there normal comfort zone to accommodate the features we wanted fitted to our Campervan.

Once the new VW Transporter had been specced and order directly from Volkswagen we set about building our dream.

Throughout the process we made a few changes and added some requests which were discussed and built into our conversion after we had chats with Dave in sales and Julian in the workshop. If it was something they hadn’t done rather than say NO they went away and found a way of doing it for us.

Examples we requested were Webasto Hot Water System, Side door fly screen, custom fit and tailored dog bed, Alcantara door and roof pillars, BBQ point, external hot water shower point, WiFi Router with antenna, 3000w Inverter plus some other small additions.

The finished Campervan was exactly as we wanted and has been worth every penny we spent on it.

When we had technical questions or things we weren’t 100% sure on a quick call to Julian usually got us sorted in a short space of time.

If I was to consider upgrading to a new Campervan in the future (unlikely as this one is perfect, but you never know) I would have no hesitation in travelling all the way from Scotland back down to Shrewsbury to do the process again.

The saying “Buy Once, Buy Right” is definitely a good motto for Bodans to use and I am sure there future is long and bright if they keep the same level of quality and service that we received.

‘Ruby’ VW T6 Sportline conversion Finalé

We had a VW T6 that already had a Skyline Aurora roof fitted out with a Bodans Lythwood internal fixtures and fittings slightly modified to meet specific needs. A RIB130 bed upholstered in Sportline leather was also installed replicating the original Kombi cabin seat. We are very proud of our van and the staff (Julian) at Bodans have every right to be proud of their involvement in its conversion. 5* Highly recommended.

Our Lovely New Camper Van

We picked up our camper just before Christmas.
It was partly customised for us and partly Bodans own great design. Bodans were the only company who were willing to do this for us .
We wanted a high top for space and rails to support the roof rack for our kayaks. We were turned away from other companies who didn’t or couldn’t do this for us but not Bodans.
The company were professional in every way, the craftsmanship was excellent, we were kept informed and sent pictures of the conversion progress. We even wanted a tweak to our design after we took ownership of our camper and Bodans did this for us quickly and efficiently, they just wanted us to be happy with our camper and we are. Very happy.
This is our fourth camper we have had, our third new one and it was the best experience of buying a camper that we have ever had.
A big thank you to Bodans and all of the team.
