Build Your Own Campervan in Rochdale DIY Campervan Conversion Help
 

Build Your Own Campervan With Expert Help, Tools & Trade Discounts

 

Turn Your Van Into a Camper – And Learn Every Step of the Way

If you’ve always wanted to convert your own campervan but don’t have the tools, space or confidence to start, this is the perfect solution.

At macvanlife campers, Rochdale, you can build your own campervan inside our fully equipped unit, using all of our tools, equipment, and hands-on help from me (Eddie) every step of the way.

You stay fully involved, you learn as you go, and you build a camper you can be proud of.

How It Works: 

Full DIY involvement

You take the lead on the build. I work right alongside you from 8am–4pm, guiding, teaching, and helping with every stage — pop-tops, windows, insulation, carpet lining, bed systems and more.

Use all of our tools & unit

No need to buy expensive specialist tools or struggle on your driveway. Everything you need is here, ready to use.

All labour included

My time, help, and practical support are part of your daily rate. You're not left on your own — you learn as we build together.

Only £200 per day + VAT

Most (if not all) of this is usually recovered because you buy your parts through my trade accounts, giving you around 10% off most materials.

For every £1000 of materials, you save around £100 compared to buying retail.
For example, if you want a poptop, the money you save will be almost three times the daily rate.

You stay in full control — you pay for your own parts, but through the trade account so you get the discount.

What You Can Build In Your DIY Camper Conversion

Anything your campervan needs — it’s entirely up to you, and depends on how many days you want to book.

Available build options include:

  • Poptop roof installations

  • Electrical first fix
