Next available build slot: April 2025
Live Slow Campers is a family business owned and run by Emily and Tom Grainger, with help from our two dogs Dexter and Rudy.
Having previously lived and travelled full time in our campervan Zephyr and now hitting the road for short adventures in between build slots – we have a good understanding of the ins and outs of campervan life for both full time and recreational use.
Our business is located just outside the little Yorkshire village of Sandhutton, in between Ripon and Thirsk with quick and easy access from the A1M.
Live Slow Campers is a small business run with strong ethics and consideration for the environment and how our existence impacts it. Ultimately our aim is for all our builds to start their lives in the best and greenest way possible, therefore each new build receives a carbon footprint calculation which allows us to monitor our impact and provide insight for our customers.
WHAT WE OFFER
We offer a dedicated and bespoke service to every customer, we only book 3 conversion slots each year so there is plenty of time to ensure we realise your dream camper and complete it to the highest standard. We also set aside time to work with self builders on their projects as it allows us to touch base with current van-lifers and check out new and interesting designs.
Each build is made to order and we offer a good range of flexibility in the design, layout and choice of features. Our standard specification can be tweaked to either ‘off grid’, ‘campsite’ or ‘crossover’ step up, all are well tested for robust use, include high quality products and offer great value and reliability for years to come.
We specialise in panel van builds, grouping these into SWB (Vauxhall Vivaro), MWB (Renault Master) and LWB (Mercedes Sprinter). We also have experience working in the micro camper market and offer this as a build option too.
Over the last 3 years we have built a strong supplier base which covers the main manufacturers in the leisure industry but more importantly includes specialist local suppliers that offer creative and unique solutions that are better suited to the vanlife and off grid camper market. Key brands we work with include Victron, Truma, LG, Inlander, S&T, Dometic, Thule, Gas It, Vitrifrigo, KS Energy and Thetford.
