Researching online is a brilliant place to start when you’re looking for your dream campervan. Finding the right campervan dealer is just as important. They’ll be the people you return to for servicing, ongoing support and advice long after you’ve collected your campervan. If you’re searching locally, taking the time to visit in person is always worthwhile. A showroom visit often answers questions you didn’t even realise you had.
Most customers begin online, it’s a great way to discover the makes and models available, whether you’re happy with a campervan that’s already been converted or if you want something more personal to you and your lifestyle. It’s useful to see photos and videos, but buying a campervan is a significant investment, and visiting a campervan dealer Sussex is a great way to experience things a camera can’t show.

Sit Inside and Picture Your Adventures
Visualise the adventures you’ll have in your campervan by sitting right in the driver’s seat. It’s a completely different perspective to think from, get the feel for the interior, and make sure it’s a suitable choice for you.
Take the time to explore every part of your campervan, open the cupboards, think how everything would fit, and stand under the elevating roof. It’s important to make sure everything can be accommodated, even you! Take the time to make sure you like the layout, imagine making breakfast on a sunny morning, imagine rainy evenings inside.
It’s much easier to picture yourself using a campervan once you’re sitting inside it, and imagining how you would complete your day-to-day tasks. It’s important to make sure all your needs are met.
Compare Different Layouts
Everyone travels differently, so layouts can make a huge difference. Whether you need a built-in crate for a furry friend or room to carry your bike inside wherever you go, it’s a good idea to make sure everything fits to your liking.
Our layouts are thoughtfully designed with ease of living in mind, convenient and smart storage options mean making the most out of every bit of room inside your luxury campervan, as well as good seating arrangements for family and friends, with the added bonus of the pop-top roof housing two extra sleeping spaces.
The rock and roll beds are ideal for our premium models of campervans, and are built bespoke to fit perfectly inside, making the very best use of the available space and providing a comfortable place to sleep. Every inch matters in a compact campervan and we make sure you get the best use out of all of them.
See the Quality of the Finish
Some finishes can look a bit different in photos, so we love it when you come and see them for yourself. Pictures don’t always reflect the high quality of materials we use too, so we encourage any potential customers to view our campervans and see for themselves.
We have a variety of upholstery options and material finishes available, and there are plenty of examples of both to be found to help you make the perfect decision for you and your lifestyle. Think wipe-clean counters for quick family meals, or smooth, dark interior seating for easy cleaning of dog paw prints. We all use our vehicles differently, and a premium campervan is no different.
Try the Storage for Yourself
Storage can make or break a campervan in how you are able to use it. That’s why we think about every space available for cupboards and storage to make sure there’s plenty of room for all of your essentials.
When you travel a lot, it’s important to give everything a home so it’s easy to put straight away, avoiding a big tidy up when it’s time to pack up and go again. Making sure there is somewhere for things like bedding, and cooking equipment day to day is what makes the difference between having a practical living space and constantly moving things around to find what you need.
Talk to People Who Actually Use Campervans
Our knowledgeable staff have a wealth of information about camping and the outdoors, so are the perfect people to ask any questions too. Do they wish they went for something different in their campervans? Ask them what features they use the most, what customers often choose and what they’ve learned from years of camping themselves. The small things that we have to compromise on can become major pain points over time, so it’s good to speak to experienced people who use their campervans regularly and can advise you.
Our three luxury models of campervan, the Nissan Elgrand, the Mercedes Viano and the Mazda Bongo, are all great, popular choices. Seeing them in person and talking to people who have experience owning them is valuable and could help with your decision-making process.
