One-to-One Campervan Build Consultations
Expert Guidance for Your DIY Campervan Build
Not everyone can make it to our workshop, but that doesn’t mean you have to go it alone. If you're building your own campervan — whether from another country or just looking for professional input—we offer one-to-one online consultations to help you get it right.
For £200 per hour, you’ll get expert advice tailored to your project, saving you time, money, and potential mistakes.
Why Onwards?
At Onwards Adventure Vehicles, we don’t just build campervans—we create unique, functional, and beautifully crafted living spaces for life on the road. Our builds combine practical experience, innovative design, and a deep understanding of vanlife.
I’ve spent over a decade immersed in the world of campervans—not only through hands-on builds but also through my writing and editorial work. I’ve authored multiple books on vanlife, travel, and design, and I edit The Rolling Home Journal, a magazine dedicated to mobile living and adventure. This experience gives me a broad and insightful perspective on what makes a great campervan—not just from a builder’s standpoint, but from a real-world, lived-in perspective.
When you book a consultation, you’re not just getting generic advice—you’re tapping into years of experience in design, craftsmanship, and off-grid travel. You’ll also gain access to trade-only information, including insights on the best materials, components, and suppliers that aren’t widely available to the public.
