Ceredigion stretches along the wild Cardigan Bay coastline. This is Wales at its most untamed, and local converters build vehicles that embrace the region's rugged charm with artisan craftsmanship.
Workshops in Aberystwyth, Lampeter, and Cardigan tend to be small artisan operations, often run by van lifers who settled in West Wales. Full conversion prices range from £18,000 to £52,000. Many favour natural timber, Welsh wool upholstery, and handcrafted details.
Lead times range from 12 to 20 weeks, reflecting the handcrafted approach. Several builders also offer renovation and upgrade services for existing campervans, popular with the area's established van life community.
The A487 coast road from Cardigan to Aberystwyth offers continuous sea views, with stops at New Quay for dolphin-watching and Aberaeron for its colourful Georgian harbour. The Cambrian Mountains to the east offer some of the most remote driving in southern Britain.
Great places to explore once your conversion is complete.
Famous for resident bottlenose dolphins, with boat trips and coastal walks from the colourful harbour village.
Dramatic waterfalls and a narrow-gauge steam railway east of Aberystwyth, surrounded by ancient oak woodland.
The vast, empty uplands east of the coast offer some of the most remote driving in Wales.
