At Love Campers we aim to be an eco van conversion business, priding ourselves on our sustainability policies.
Our love and respect for the natural world is one of the main reasons we chose to create our company. We believe that becoming more connected to the great outdoors can help us to rethink our consumption.
Escaping in a campervan creates a more minimal way of living, without the need (or space!) for unnecessary material possessions. It reminds us of the importance of slow, conscious travel and gives us more time to appreciate our planet.
Quality Standards you can trust
In February 2023 we became accredited via the leading global Certification Body NQA.
This makes us one of the few campervan converters to have received both the ISO certification in Quality Management, as well as Environmental Management. All of this means that you can feel reassured that you are receiving a premium campervan from an internationally certified manufacturer.

Here are some other ways to make van life more sustainable
Solar Energy on your Campervan
Of course, electric campervans may not be the right option for everyone. Another way weâve always been able to make our campers more ecologically friendly has been to build campervans that function off-grid, from renewable solar power.
Through fitting powerful solar panels and connecting them to the leisure battery system, your entire campervan system can be powered from clean solar electricity.
If you’re unable to buy an electric vehicle this is a great option for making your current campervan more eco-friendly.
Reconnecting to nature through the campervan lifestyle
The simple act of being outside more helps us to rethink our consumption. Being in nature, breathing in fresh air and disconnecting from the pressures of city life, allows us to reflect on the beauty of our world.
Escaping in your campervan forces you into a more minimal way of living, without the need (or space!) for unnecessary material possessions. It reminds us of the importance of slow, conscious travel and gives us more time to appreciate and look after the environment.
How to make campervanning more sustainable in general
Maybe you’ve already bought a base vehicle or you might not be able to buy an electric van for another reason. Not to worry! There are many others ways we can aim to make van life more sustainable. Get in touch to ask us about an off-grid campervan.
If you already have a vehicle of your own you may wish to âpatch it upâ and make do until itâs on its very last legs.
Ultimately, protecting the planet involves consuming less and thinking about our current habits. Re-using and fixing up what is broken, rather than throwing something away, is one of the main ways we can protect our planet today.
