Camper King

What Camper King does

CamperKing (legal entity: Camper King Limited) is a family-owned UK private limited company founded in 2009 and headquartered in Warmington, near Banbury, Oxfordshire. The company manufactures, converts, and retails Volkswagen Transporter-based campervans (T5, T6, T6.1, and T7 platforms) under multiple proprietary model names — including the T7 Freedom, T7 Go!, Monte Carlo (and Gen 2), St Tropez, Le Mans, Santorini, and Pursuit — covering entry-level through premium off-grid configurations. CamperKing holds GB Whole Vehicle Type Approval from the Vehicle Certification Agency and ISO 9001 quality management certification (UKAS Cert No. 12185*), distinguishing it from converters operating without formal type approval.

The business operates a hybrid distribution model combining three owned showrooms (Banbury HQ on a 3.5-acre site with a 12,000 sq ft showroom, Newcastle, and Surrey) with a national network of 12+ approved stockists spanning from Aberdeen to the South Coast. It differentiates on a claimed industry-leading 5-week custom-build lead time, 100+ vehicles held in showroom inventory, and a 4,000+ member owner community (Club CamperKing). Recent technology investments include the Renogy REGO Smart Off-Grid Energy System, ECER14-certified floor rail bed systems with ISOFIX, and gasless induction-based Gen 2 kitchen configurations.

CamperKing earns revenue through four streams: (1) one-time sales of new and pre-owned VW campervan conversions at £39,995–£89,995; (2) recurring servicing, MOT, and habitation checks; (3) finance commission as an FCA-authorized Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd, sourcing credit through VW Financial Services, Mann Island, and Evolution Funding; and (4) aftermarket upgrades and accessories. Customers are predominantly UK individual consumers — families, couples, and outdoor enthusiasts — with no disclosed enterprise or fleet concentration.
