The short version: a superb, stylish, conversion company with people who genuinely care about your experience. If you are considering a conversion and you like the look of their interiors, it's worth the effort to go an meet them. The long version: We spent a good deal of time checking out the various options for conversions, including the well known companies. We are so glad that we found Out & About. Of course it's a personal thing how you would like your van styled, but we really loved the pics on their website so made the trip down to see them. We met Luke and Jasmine who couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful. We got the full tour of the vans they had in - completed, part-completed - and it was clear that these guys loved what they did. We decided to go for it - but we hadn't actually got a van to convert at this point. Luke took the job on and between us, we got a van sorted. When running through the various options available (we went for the contemporary interior) - Luke explained each simply and carefully and I never felt under pressure to accept an option. Deposit paid and a build slot in a few weeks. Throughout the build, we were kept updated by Jasmine - some changes were requested by us and dealt with. On pick up, the van was ready and looking amazing. We've only done one short trip to date and it was amazing. Highly recommended.

These guys are great. Small enough company to give a personal service, but big enough to sort any issues quickly. We found OAAC through an eye-catching pic on FB that we liked, being a bit different from the crowd. We met up with Dan to discuss our needs and 'hey presto!', a couple of months later we have a bespoke campervan that we absolutely love. Any communication with OAAC has been very easy, and any 'snagging' issues (and I must say there have been surprisingly few) have been sorted without any qualms. Quality is top notch with an eye for detail. A big thankyou to Dan, Jasmin, Luke and the rest of the team. And I mustn't forget Bob from L'Artisan, who did a lovely job of the upholstery. Co-located in the same unit and working closely with OAAC.

Sue and I couldn't be happier with our (yet to be named) camper. We were after a cross between a day van and fully fledged camper van, but without the wardrobe as we thought it would be slightly claustrophobic in the rear for any passengers we may be carrying. We found OAAC, and from the first meeting knew they were the ones to carry out the conversion. Nothing was too much trouble, even if we popped in unannounced. Even a viewing of the machine shop was interesting and welcome, having been a machinist in a previous life. Weekly updates with photos was great to have. Once we had seen the finished conversion, we knew we had made the right choice. We are now in the process of filling it with essentials. And, probably loads of non essential doll related paraphernalia!! 🙁 Thanks to everyone for your hard work and patience. Lovely job. Alan and Sue

I would highly recommend Out and About Campers if you want your VW converting. From start to finish I felt 100% confident in their ability to do a great job coverting my van and they absolutly didn't disappoint 🙂👍. I was given advice and guidance throughout the whole process. The team are all so friendly and professional and went above and beyond to ensure the conversion process ran smoothly. 👍👍

This is a small business which exhibits just about everything that is good with customer service. They are professional, innovative, friendly, helpful, clever, and extremely attentive. We got lucky with our first camper van in finding this company.

Dan, Jasmine and the team were wonderful during the purchase, build and after sales process. I've just taken the van on my first long trip and it was life changing. The attention to detail and build quality are top-notch. Top people doing top work - highly recommended.

I bought my ex rac vw transporter panel van last summer and wanted to convert it to a camper. So I got in touch with the fabulous ‘family’ at Out and About to ask their advice. They’ve been fantastic. Nothing is too small a question. I booked her in to have the roof put in and windows all around. The work was incredible. They even stripped out all the original rac wiring looms. And sent me pics to keep me updated. The guys there are just amazing, so friendly and knowledgeable. Since then I’ve have been back multiple times to show them this or ask them that. And now I shall be purchasing my kitchen through them too. And Dan’s wife deals with interiors so I shall be employing her services when the time comes. And it’s all in house! Without Jasmin and Dan and the rest of the gang, there is absolutely no way my van would be how it is today. Thankyou Out and About. You don’t know how much I love you guys and I would without hesitation recommend you.

We are thrilled to bits with our van. Brilliant customer service from start to finish. Love love our van! Took just under 5 weeks from start to finish. We did have a few teething problems but Dan had the van back and all rectified within 24 hours. Cannot recommend enough.
