Where we started
Cherry Campers was established in March 2019 after founder Steve had spent the best part of a decade camping (in tents, vans and motorhomes) chasing his hobby of racing mountain bikes around the UK and Europe. Ignoring the Fiat Punto he had as a first car, Steve has only owned VW vans since, so he is well versed in what makes a good van from a bad van!
Whilst on holiday in 2018, Steve and his partner Ruby got engaged in Aberdyfi, West Wales. It was on this holiday that Steve decided it was time to leave his previous job working in customer service in the Pet Food industry and instead chase the dream job. The dream job being able to help other people be as happy in a camper van as he was then! They got engaged in a VW T6 camper van which was the VW Cherry Red colour, you’ll never guess where our name came from!
Our goal is to build personal, quality, luxury and reliable camper vans to help customers build life long memories and to take on adventures to wherever the road takes them. To be able to give people the opportunity to make these memories is special and is our motivation to build camper vans to the standards that we do and always will. We don’t just build vans, we use them all year round doing everything from mountain biking, paddle boarding, hiking or just a British holiday by the beach. Van life is what we are all about, building you the van you’ve always dreamed of.
