OUR STORY

ABOUT US

Ed and Gabriella's vanlife journey started in 2019 when they decided to make their dream a reality...and travel around Europe in a campervan. Not just any campervan...one they'd built themselves into their own magical home on wheels.

But the dream didn’t stop there. While travelling, many nights were spent discussing business plans and what seemed like crazy ideas… until it became a reality. Bobil Vans was born.

We help to spread vanlife love through innovative campervan products, custom conversions, and tips on how to get the most from your life on the road.

We hope you find our blog helpful in your van build, as well as our youtube channel with more info on the products.

THE BUSINESS

The business has steadily grown since its formation in 2020, and now we have more proprietary products and distributors globally. We’ve also expanded to sell products that we believe are useful to the self-build market — a space where the current market lacks strong offerings.

This growth allows us to expand the team so we can continue doing what we love - making beautiful bespoke campervans for our valued customers, with our Head Joiner Ste Eccles at the helm.

We’re often asked where the name “Bobil Vans” comes from. It was chosen while travelling in Norway — the word “bobil” in Norwegian simply means “campervan”!

We loved the word and couldn't resist using it in our business.
