Camper vans are compact, self-contained recreational vehicles built on a van chassis that combine driving comfort with living amenities like beds, kitchens, and storage. They suit weekend trips to long-term travel, offering easier maneuverability and lower running costs than larger motorhomes. Models range from simple conversions to luxury factory builds, so check layout, insulation, electrical systems, and payload to match your travel style and seasons.
Check the chassis and engine history, service records, mileage, underside for rust, signs of water ingress in the living area, condition of plumbing and appliances, electrical systems (12V/230V), gas installations, and roof/leak points.
Use a specialist vehicle hauler experienced with vans and tall loads. Confirm dimensions and weight, secure loose items, disconnect batteries if requested, declare fuel and gas, and insure transit for damage and transport liability.
Check local type-approval or homologation rules, emissions and weight class, safety and habitation certifications required in your country, VAT/import duties, and necessary paperwork for converted vans.
Follow chassis service intervals for engine and drivetrain. For the habitation area: service the water system, gas checks, fridge/heat system maintenance, battery care (house and starter), seals inspection, and winterization if stored in cold climates.
Chassis parts are usually easy via the van manufacturer. Habitation parts (fridge, heater, pumps) depend on the brand but are commonly available. Upgrades like solar, lithium batteries, or improved insulation are widely supported by specialist suppliers.
