What Two Stories does

Two Stories GmbH is a Swiss vehicle conversion company founded in 2020 and headquartered in Gretzenbach, Switzerland, operating as the exclusive Swiss VANING conversion partner for Volkswagen and Ford base vehicles. The company converts vans — primarily VW T5/T6.1/Caravelle and Ford Tourneo Custom platforms — into camper vans and mini-campers for individual B2C consumers, offering both complete vehicles and conversion-only services for owners retrofitting their existing vans. Its six-model lineup spans the Allrounder 2.0 (VW Caravelle), Klassiker 2.0 (VW T6.1/T5), Allrounder 1.0, Klassiker 1.0, Concept C (modular Ford Tourneo Custom), and Clarity (Ford Tourneo Custom), with pricing ranging from CHF 34,700 for conversion-only work to CHF 123,300 for fully built vehicles and order lead times of 4–6 months.

The business is founder-led by Nicole and Martin Grauer, who bring more than 17 years of VW camper-conversion experience, and operates with a team of five (including a workshop dog). Revenue is generated through a direct-to-consumer model comprising new vehicle sales, retrofitting of customer-owned vans, and parts and accessories, supplemented by an in-house showroom in Gretzenbach and annual presence at the Suisse Caravan Salon in Bern. Notable technical and commercial milestones include the Van Builder Award 2025 for the Klassiker 2.0, a technology partnership with Swaytronic for camper electronics, expansion to Ford platforms via the Concept C and Clarity launches, and 130+ campers built since inception.

Strategically, Two Stories is a niche craft operator leveraging an exclusive brand license, deep vehicle-specific know-how, and direct showroom/salon distribution rather than scale or technology differentiation. Its growth levers are platform diversification (VW plus Ford), product-line refreshes (2.0-generation launches), and deepening of the D2C relationship via retrofit, parts, and accessories revenue. Constraints are the small team, Swiss-only geographic footprint, and reliance on discretionary premium leisure spend.

Direct peers

• Crosscamp: Hymer Group brand producing compact camper vans on Toyota and Citroën chassis (and previously VW). Directly comparable to Two Stories' Allrounder and Klassiker lines on compact VW-class van conversions targeting couples and families.
• Ququq: German specialist in lightweight modular camper box conversions for vans including VW T6/T6.1. Directly comparable to Two Stories' Concept C product line in offering plug-and-play, non-permanent kitchen/sleeping modules for daily-driver camper use.
• Tonke: Dutch premium van conversion company offering bespoke VW-based camper builds with high-end finishes and modular layouts. Directly comparable to Two Stories on VW platform conversion expertise, premium pricing, and design-led positioning in the DACH-region market.
• VANING: German manufacturer of premium modular camper conversion concepts on VW/Ford bases. Two Stories operates as VANING's exclusive Swiss conversion partner, so the two share identical product DNA; VANING is also a natural comparable on build quality, design philosophy, and pricing structure.
• Campwerk: German VW T5/T6/T6.1 conversion specialist with modular camper systems, comparable to Two Stories on VW platform focus, similar modular product architecture, and direct competition for end customers in the German-speaking camper van market.

Broad incumbents

• Westfalia: Historic German camper converter with deep VW roots going back to the original VW California collaborations. As a broader incumbent with a wider product range (including Mercedes-based and trailer offerings), it represents the larger-scale, multi-platform competitor in the same space.
• Reimo: Large German camper parts, accessories, and conversion specialist. Reimo provides the Reimo V3000 bench/sleep system Two Stories uses in Klassiker 1.0/2.0, making it both a supplier reference and a broader incumbent in the VW conversion ecosystem.
• Hymer / Erwin Hymer Group: Major German motorhome and camper van manufacturer (part of THOR Industries). Operates a much broader portfolio spanning Class B vans to Class A motorhomes, with Crosscamp as its compact-van brand directly comparable to Two Stories' product set.
