💻🚐 Work Hard, Play Harder... From Anywhere!

Ever fancied swapping the desk for a change of scenery? More and more of our customers are doing exactly that - building their van into a proper home-from-home AND a mobile office.

Because let's be honest, the best work/life balance isn't about choosing one over the other. Sometimes it just means changing your view.

The good news? Staying connected on the road has never been easier. We can build in:

📶 A 4G/5G mobile router for solid everyday connectivity
🛰️ Starlink for satellite wifi, even in the middle of nowhere
📡 A signal booster to grab every last bar when you're somewhere tricky
🔌 Proper 12V/240V power so your laptop (and everything else) stays charged

Picture it: sign off that video call, step outside, kettle on, and you're staring at a totally different view to yesterday. That's the dream, right?

If you're thinking about a van that lets you work and wander in equal measure, get in touch - we'd love to help you build it.

🚐✨ Meet Bonnie! ✨🚐

We've just handed over the keys to this gorgeous full conversion on a Peugeot Boxer LWB High Top, and we're not going to lie... we didn't want to let her go!

Here's what went into the build:

🪟 6 x windows with cassette blinds, plus a skylight for loads of natural light
🧵 Fully ply lined, insulated and carpeted throughout
🛏️ Fixed rear bed with a garage space underneath for all the kit
🪑 Fixed bench seating up front with custom-made cushions and mattress
🍳 Recessed sink and induction hob, finished off with bamboo worktops
🪵 Altro flooring in Newport Oak - stylish and hard-wearing
🚿 Hot water heater and diesel heater, so no cold nights
☀️ Full electrics with 200W solar - proper off-grid freedom
🔽 Electric step for easy access

The best part? Our customer was over the moon with her and headed straight off for a weekend's camping before we'd even finished admiring our own work!

They named the van Bonnie, and honestly, we think it suits her perfectly. 💛

Fancy your own Bonnie? Get in touch and let's talk about building your dream van.

🚐 Office Closure Notice 🚐

Just a quick heads-up that Leisure Vehicles Direct will be closed on Friday 24th July as we'll be attending Dubs South Campout as headline sponsors for the third year running! 🎉

We'll also be busy setting up for the event on Thursday, so our response times may be a little slower than usual.

If you send us a message, email, or enquiry during this time, we'll get back to you as soon as possible when we're back in the office on Monday.

If you're heading to Dubs South Campout, be sure to come and say hello! 👋

Thank you for your patience and support.

🚐🐎🔧 One of the Things We Love Most About What We Do... 🔧🐎🚐

No two days are ever the same at Leisure Vehicles Direct!

One day we're carrying out an MOT or fitting new tyres, the next we're building a bespoke campervan interior, repairing a horse trailer, installing electrical upgrades, or servicing a motorhome ready for its next adventure.

We love the variety that comes through our workshop. From campervans and motorhomes to horse trailers and horse lorries, every project brings its own challenges and keeps the job interesting.

It's this mix of vehicles, customers, and projects that makes every day different—and that's exactly how we like it! 😊

Thank you to all our customers for trusting us with your vehicles and keeping our workshop busy with such a diverse range of work.

What's your vehicle of choice: 🚐 Campervan, 🚛 Motorhome, 🐎 Horse Trailer, or 🚚 Horse Lorry? Let us know below!

🚐⬆️ Thinking About an Elevating Roof? ⬆️🚐

An elevating roof is one of the most popular upgrades for campervans — and it's easy to see why!

✅ Creates additional headroom inside the van
✅ Provides extra sleeping space
✅ Makes your van feel more spacious and comfortable
✅ Maintains a lower vehicle height when closed
✅ Ideal for families and couples alike

💡 Did you know? Most elevating roof beds can comfortably sleep 1 adult or 2 children, making them a fantastic way to increase the sleeping capacity of your campervan.

⚡ We can also fit LED lighting and USB charging points within the roof space, making it even more practical and comfortable for evenings, reading, charging devices, or simply relaxing.

Whether you're looking to maximise space in your current camper or planning a new conversion, an elevating roof can completely transform how you use your vehicle and open up a whole new level of adventure.
