We are Free Spirit Campervans, the home of luxury compact campervans
We’re renowned industry leaders delivering high quality bespoke campervans and conversions to the South East and beyond with over 20 years of experience.
Here at Free Spirit Campervans, we’ve been importing high-quality used vehicles from Japan and converting them into the ultimate practical campervan for over 20 years.
Our expertise means we only source the best base vehicles and are able to offer them to you at very competitive prices.
We specialise in maintenance and bespoke conversions into campervans of three premium brand models:
All three start life as luxury people carriers thus feature reliable engines, high specifications, spacious interiors and a comfortable drive. All our luxury campervans are petrol, ULEZ-compliant, automatic, and are registered as PLG so not commercial vehicles, they are a delight to drive and anyone with a standard full driving licence can just grab their keys and set off on their adventures!
Our friendly and knowledgeable team have received the coveted ‘Highly Rated’ dealer award in both 2024 & 2025 by Car Dealer Reviews and Autotrader.
Our customers will continue to benefit from full dealership support and facilities due to our extensive knowledge of all three brands. These benefits include:
- Part-exchange and warranty services
- Full workshop facilities for servicing, MOTs, repairs and diagnostics
- Access to the largest database of import vehicles available now in the UK and Japan
We have a large stock of vehicles on display to browse and test drive, both converted and ready to be converted, thus giving a wide choice of styles and features. We will help you drive away in your perfect luxury campervan, with a comprehensive warranty and be here for ongoing servicing and support.

Meet our team
Ian Wakefield
Owning and running Free Spirit Campervans is both my passion and a dream come true. There is nothing more satisfying than meeting our customers and hearing about the pleasure that our campervans have brought into their lives. The most common feedback when meeting customers following a purchase is “we should have bought one sooner” or my personal favourite “we really did not realise how much we would use it”. Producing excellent luxury campervans is not easy and involves a lot of processes. I certainly could not do this without my amazing team who share my passion for supporting our customers throughout their campervanning adventures.
Adrian
Having worked in the campervan industry since the day he left school and being a dedicated campervanner himself, Adrian is the ideal person to guide new and potential owners through the process of selecting or commissioning their new campervan.
His supportive and informative, no pressure, approach to both new and experienced campers is constantly being commended.
James
Conversion of a luxury people carrier into an even more luxurious campervan is our bread and butter.
James’s practical ability combined with his can-do attitude means that he is the perfect man to jump up onto a beautiful new van and be the one to cut a huge hole in it!
He then goes on to install the pop top roof and make the whole surgical operation safe and look like it was always supposed to be that way.
Gary
Our conversion builds are commended over the competition time and again when potential customers come to view our campervans. Gary runs our joinery operation utilising the best materials and latest CNC technology to produce precision kitchens, floors and other bespoke furniture to the highest standards and in a wide range of finishes.
Craig
Every vehicle conversion incorporates an element of electrical work from basic diversion of existing vehicle wiring to complex solar, split charge and inverter solutions used to feed lighting, heating and refrigeration built into a full conversion. Craig’s ability to analyse and resolve requirements into a reliable, tidy and safe solution is key to every project we carry out.
Adam
Adam is the final stage in all of our campervan conversions and builds. He has been perfecting our builds for over 10 years and knows our vehicles absolutely inside out. Adams fastidious attention to detail results in a beautifully finished product time after time whilst his wicked sense of humour helps to keep us all human even on the busiest days.
Our process
The journey to finding the perfect campervan for you starts with us importing the finest premium vehicle brands from Southern Japan. Did you know that Southern Japan do not salt their roads in the winter? This means corrosion-free low millage vehicles for you to choose from.
We at Free Spirit Campervans have one of the largest selections in the South of high-quality Vehicles from Japan, ready to be professionally transformed into campervans by our excellent in-house craftsmen. We have over 20 years of experience sourcing and importing the highest-quality vehicles here at Free Spirit Campervans. We know exactly what to look out for to ensure our customers receive the best vehicles, featuring low mileage and in top condition. As the South Coast’s premier importer, we work closely with agents in Japan who have access to the largest databases allowing us to maintain a large stock level here in the UK.
Buying a vehicle through Free Spirit Campervans means you get a vehicle that is safe and reliable, having undergone our rigorous safety inspections, our complete service, and a recent MOT. Our campervans are also all ULEZ-compliant and not registered as commercial vehicles.
Once you have decided which camper model is right for you and your lifestyle, our expert team will get to work on creating your bespoke vehicle. You can find more information about each of our three premium models here: Mazda Bongo, Mercedes Viano, Nissan Elgrand.
We tailor each of our campervans to your taste and specific needs, because at Free Spirit Campervans, we do all of our conversion work right here on site, just outside of Chichester. You choose everything, right down to the upholstery and unit finishes. We take pride in accommodating your requests and making every campervan as unique as its owner.
Our friendly and helpful staff are very knowledgeable, with plenty of camping and campervan experience, so they understand your needs for the perfect campervan. Our engineers, mechanics and craftsmen treat every campervan with the same care and attention to detail, so you know your luxury campervan will be of the highest standard.
Once our craftsmen have completed your bespoke campervan conversion, it is time for you to come and collect it!
Whether you already have a weekend trip in mind or the kids need to be picked up from school, you can do it all in comfort in a Free Spirit Campervan. We are proud to give our customers the opportunity to create memories and enjoy freedom with a bespoke campervan.
