Why We’re Proud to Be an Award-Winning Campervan Leader in the UK Campervan World
At Free Spirit Campervans, we know that choosing a campervan dealer isn’t just about finding the right vehicle. It’s about trust, service, and the confidence that you’re buying from a team that genuinely cares about your experience. That’s why being recognised as an award-winning business means so much to us.
Our customers have always been at the heart of what we do. From the moment you first view it to the moment you set off on your first trip, we want you to feel supported, informed, and excited. So, when we received national recognition for our service, it wasn’t just an award; it was a testament to our dedication and commitment. It was a reflection of our promise to you.
Our Award-Winning Campervan Journey
We’re proud to have been named one of Auto Trader’s Highly Rated Dealers for 2025, an honour that celebrates businesses providing exceptional service and genuine customer care.
To earn this award, a dealership must maintain a verified average rating of four stars or higher, respond to customer feedback, and consistently demonstrate excellence over time. It’s entirely based on real customer experiences, not advertising spend or nominations. You can read more about our award here:

This recognition follows our 2024 award from Car Dealer Reviews, confirming that our approach to transparency, honesty, and attention to detail continues to set us apart.
For us, these achievements are not just milestones; they’re proof that the way we do things makes a difference.
Why Our Award-Winning Campervans Matter to You
Buying a campervan is a big moment. It’s not just another vehicle purchase; it’s an investment in freedom, adventure, and lifestyle. Working with an award-winning dealer like us gives you peace of mind that every aspect of your experience has been designed around quality and trust.
Here’s what an award winning campervan means for you:
Peace of Mind
Our awards are earned from verified customer reviews. That means every rating and comment comes from real people who’ve bought from us and shared their genuine experience.
Proven Service
We take pride in the relationships we build. From initial enquiry to aftercare, we make sure communication is clear, support is ongoing, and everything we promise is delivered.
Attention to Detail
Every campervan we sell is carefully prepared and inspected. From mechanical checks to conversion standards, we go above and beyond to make sure your vehicle is ready for your next adventure.
Confidence in Your Purchase
An award-winning track record helps protect your investment. Whether you plan to keep your campervan for years or eventually resell it, knowing it came from a reputable, recognised dealer adds long-term value.
A Shared Lifestyle
We don’t just sell campervans, we live and breathe the lifestyle. Our team loves travel, the outdoors, and everything that comes with life on the road. That passion is what drives our service every day.
What Makes Us Different
Our Stock and Conversions
We hand-select every vehicle at our South Coast showroom in Chichester. You’ll find a wide range of models, including Nissan Elgrands, Mazda Bongos, and Mercedes Vianos; all known for their comfort, reliability, and adaptability.
Every campervan we prepare is thoroughly checked, serviced, and converted to meet our own high standards before being listed for sale. Many of our vehicles are also ULEZ compliant, meaning you can travel through urban zones or across Europe without restriction.

Our Customer First Approach
We genuinely value every review and piece of feedback we receive. Responding to customer comments, both positive and constructive, helps us continually improve. That’s a key reason we received the Auto Trader Highly Rated Award: it reflects the way we listen and respond, not just the number of vans we sell.
Our focus is simple: treat every customer with the same honesty and care that we’d expect ourselves.
Our Local Roots
We’re proud to be based right here on the South Coast, serving customers across Sussex, Surrey, Kent, Hampshire, Dorset, and beyond. Our location makes us ideally placed for people who want to collect their new campervan and explore the coast, the New Forest, or the open road without travelling hundreds of miles to pick up their dream campervan.
We understand how our customers use their vehicles. Whether it’s weekend escapes, family trips, or longer European adventures, we design and recommend campervans that genuinely fit those needs.
A Transparent Buying Process
Buying a campervan should be an exciting experience, not a stressful one. That’s why our process is straightforward from the very start.
- Every vehicle is HPI and Experian checked.
- We provide full service and inspection reports.
- You can secure your chosen campervan with a small deposit.
- We explain every stage of preparation before the handover.

- A physical showroom you can visit.
- A variety of stock suited to different needs.
- Helpful, knowledgeable staff who understand the campervan lifestyle.
We’ve built Free Spirit Campervans around these values because we believe that’s exactly what customers deserve.
