After 15 unforgettable years, the time has come for us to say goodbye…

This is not an easy post to write. 🥲

On the 1st of June 2011, Vanguard Conversions opened its doors in Fort William with a dream, a lot of hard work, and a passion for building campervans. Now, on the 1st of June 2026 — exactly 15 years later — we will be officially closing that chapter…

Over the years we’ve had the privilege of meeting so many amazing people, building vans for adventures, memories, holidays, and new beginnings. What started as a small business became a huge part of our lives, and none of it would have been possible without the incredible support from our customers, followers, friends, and the local community.

Every message, recommendation, order, visit, share, and conversation has meant more to us than you’ll ever know. Your support kept us going through the highs and the challenges, and we will always be deeply grateful for the loyalty and kindness shown to us over the years.

We are proud of what Vanguard Conversions became, but more than anything, we are thankful for the people we met along the way 🫶🏻

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of our journey and for supporting a small business in the Highlands for the last 15 years.

With love and gratitude,
Mark & Niki

From panel van to weekend warrior.🚐✨

This VWT6 is nearly ready for its first adventure!

Pop-top is up, power is off-grid, and the bed is calling. Where should they head first?🗺️

Lithium electrical systems have really transformed how we use our campers, and here at Vanguard, we’re the go-to experts in Scotland, mainly installing these systems over the past three years!

Here’s what Gordon had to say about his recent adventure in his VW T6….

"We were parked up at Knockan Crag, snug with the diesel heater. Just had curry and rice in the microwave and a vegetable samosa in the air fryer. This is the life! We stayed at Gairloch last night, using the diesel heater, microwave, fridge and left this morning at 11am with 69 per cent battery left. We drove to Ullapool and back to Inverness with 100 per cent battery life when we returned..."

"We headed out again on Saturday at 1pm and left at 10am Monday, still having 22 per cent battery left. The heater was on most of the time, along with the fridge, Nespresso coffee machine, air fryer and microwave. Oh, and the lights and kettle too" 😊😊😊

"We never even had the solar kick in. We had the air fryer going for 20 minutes both nights. Never thought we would do roast potatoes from scratch lol… living the dream completely off grid"…

Thanks to Mark for all the hard work you put into building our camper. You did an amazing job.🔥🔥👍

"Thanks Nicki and Mark"🫶

This VW T6 build has all the Off-grid Essentials..

There's nothing quite like the "final electrical checks" stage of a VW T6 build. " After all the blood, sweat, and cable crimping, seeing those battery monitors stabilise is the ultimate payoff...

It’s where a van stops being a project and starts being a home...

Prepping for a handover next week 👍

First build of 2026 for returning customers Gordon & Wendy…

Their new van will be gas-free, powered by a lithium off-grid system. This is perfect for those long weekends at festivals where you can enjoy the outdoors without needing to plug into shore power.

We’ll keep you in the loop with updates as the project progresses.

If you’re interested in us converting a campervan or work on your current van, we have space available starting in mid-February…

Alison & Robert brought their VWT6 in for an interior makeover...

They chose a Brand New Bed & storage system from RS - Romark - U shape camper seating.

We're really loving the U-Shaped seating frame - It's M1 certified and designed to be flexible, offering maximum comfort and storage. It's a fantastic option, available in different sizes to fit both SWB and LWB vehicles.

Quick Bed Conversion on Smooth runners allow the frame to convert from seating to sleeping in seconds!! Also comes with cup holders & USB points...👌

We hope Alison & Robert enjoy their new camper adventures :)
