RHINO INSTALLS LIMITED

What RHINO INSTALLS LIMITED does

Rhino Installs Limited is a family-owned UK business, founded in 1998, that specialises in the supply and installation of accessories for motorhomes, campervans, and touring caravans. The company operates from an AWS (Approved Workshop Scheme) accredited fitting centre in Bamber Bridge, near Preston, Lancashire, and supplements this with a mobile fitting service that travels to customer locations across the UK (and occasionally into France). It serves individual leisure vehicle owners rather than fleets or trade buyers, with customer segments spanning motorhome, campervan (including VW Transporter, VW Crafter, Fiat Ducato, Peugeot Boxer, Citroen Relay, and Mercedes Sprinter variants), and caravan owners.

The company's core offering combines the retail of third-party accessories (priced from approximately £75 for miscellaneous items to over £9,000 for full VB Air Suspension systems) with professional installation services. Product categories include electrical, batteries and power (Victron, PV Logic, lithium batteries), TV, satellite and internet systems (Oyster, Maxview), suspension and levelling (VB Air Suspension, E&P Hydraulic), gas, water and sanitation, safety and security (Autowatch, Toad, Smartrack), cooling, heating and refrigeration (Truma, Propex, Whale), and exterior/interior equipment (Fiamma, Thule). The company does not develop proprietary technology; its value rests on technical installation expertise built over 25+ years, with combined staff and owner knowledge exceeding 60 years in the leisure industry.

Rhino Installs generates revenue through two streams: one-time product sales via its e-commerce storefront (rhinoinstalls.co.uk) and professional installation services delivered either at the workshop or via mobile fitting. Pricing for installations is quote-based rather than published. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, relying on SEO, social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram), email newsletter, and review platforms (Trustpilot, Google, Facebook) for customer acquisition. The business is bootstrapped, privately held, and operates as a single-site enterprise with no disclosed external investment, headcount, or revenue figures.
