⚡ We're Recruiting – Campervan Electrical Technician / Contractor ⚡

Why?

Because modern campervans are no longer simple leisure vehicles. Today's projects involve lithium battery systems, solar charging, inverter systems, vehicle integration, advanced control systems and electrical safety.

At Wild Camping Vans we're looking for someone with formal electrical qualifications, inspection and testing experience, and the ability to work on bespoke technical projects.

What makes us different?

Before becoming customer-facing, we spent years developing products, systems and manufacturing solutions for the wider campervan industry, supporting trade customers and building vehicles for industry brands. Much of our work today continues to involve specialist and technically demanding projects.

If you're an electrician, electrical engineer, auto electrician or experienced leisure vehicle technician looking for something more challenging than routine installation work, we'd love to hear from you.

📈 HEADLINE:

OUR 🧑‍🎄 CHRISTMAS 🎄 GIFT 🎁 TO FORWARD-THINKING INVESTORS

Start Building Assets. 🚐💨

Are you looking for a high-yield investment with a physical asset you can see, touch, and sell at a premium?

At Wild Camping Vans (WCV), we’ve engineered a way for entrepreneurs to enter the luxury camper market with a built-in "Profit Gap."

🤝 The Model: You Supply the Van, We Supply the Innovation.

We don’t just convert vans; we create market-disrupting assets. By combining our disruptive engineering with a unique B2B partnership, we provide probably the highest ROI potential in the industry.

🚀 Why WCV Assets Sell Faster & For More:
Safety as a Premium: Our unique fixing system is tested to a one-ton pull force. In a market of DIY builds, this safety is one of your biggest closers.

Performance & Economy: Our builds are up to 50% lighter than traditional conversions. This means better handling, lower fuel costs, and more legal payload—massive selling points for your end-user.

Zero Obsolescence: We use non-porous, moisture-resistant linings and thermally bonded ABS edging. No mold, no smells, and no squeaks. It maintains that "showroom feel" for years.

⭐⭐⭐The "Three-Star Builder" Advantage (3 Units/Year)
We are looking for partners ready to scale. By committing to 3 conversions in your first year, you unlock:

💎 Enhanced Margins: Get exclusive access to our pre-purchased bulk stock. We’re talking Corian-type worktops and £55 RRP premium fabrics—provided at no extra cost to you because we’ve already secured last year’s overruns and line ends.

🔒 Fixed Pricing: Because we’ve already bought the expensive components, the price we quote now is the price you pay later. No "inflation surprises."

⏱️ Priority Build Slots: Time is money. Get your vans converted and back on the market faster to increase your annual capital turnover.
📣 Marketing Support: We help you spec the layouts that are currently trending to ensure a fast sale.

🛠️ De-Risked by Design
We have already made a massive financial commitment by pre-purchasing our high-value inventory. (See photos below of the premium materials currently in stock and ready for your builds!)

"Our vocation is to make this lifestyle accessible. Our mission is to make your investment very profitable."
Ready to claim your 2026 build slots?
Let’s get your first three-van cycle started.

A Year of Adventure:

A Message from
Wild Camping Vans 🚐✨

Hi there,
A note from JD, as we wrap up an incredible year…

This year has been all about adventure, community, and amazing conversions. As the passion for life on the road continues to grow, our focus at Wild Camping Vans has remained steady: ensuring every van that leaves our workshop is built to the highest standards and ready for the wild.
We’ve spent the year listening to the stories of the journeys you’ve taken in our conversions.

I’m incredibly proud of the work we’ve produced and deeply grateful to our customers and partners for your trust and support.👏

It’s because of you that we’ve had such a successful year.🎉

Looking Ahead to 2026 🚀
As we head into the new year, we do so with massive momentum. Thanks to your support, we are now fully booked for the upcoming year. This demand is allowing us to take a huge leap forward: we are officially expanding again in March 2026! This growth will increase our capacity, bring more innovative designs to life, and help more of you get out under the stars.🌟

New B2B Opportunities 💼
With our expansion, we will be in a position to take on three new B2B customers after March 2026. If you are interested in generating a passive income that can rival a yearly salary, please get in touch via email or WhatsApp.

Holiday Hours 🎄
To give our team a well-deserved break, please note our schedule:
Closing: Friday 19th December
Re-opening: Monday 12th January
Thank you for being part of the Wild Camping Vans family. We can't wait to show you what’s next!

I was recently dropping off a van and getting the train back to our at and had to change in Leeds, so I thought I'd visit the next event we are sponsoring and get some photos ( these will be in our next event) when I felt hungry and felt hungry and found an amazing foodhall ... Something for everyone but being a big meat eater I saw saw the Mac N cheese so asked if they could put a burger on it 🤤 life couldn't get much better ♥️
THEN I NOTICED IT WAS MEAT FREE 🤔🙄
but it was amazing and literally tasted like a fillet beef burger tender and juicy I WAS BLOWN AWAY 😋♥️👌
