Why us, in four lines
Slow on purpose, honest by habit.
Most converters chase volume. We don't. The math of a careful campervan only works if you build a small number of them, and you tell the customer the truth at every stage. That's the whole pitch.
Sixteen weeks, fixed.
Spec, design, build, handover. Each stage has a date written down before contract. We've missed our 16-week handover twice in six years — both times for parts shortages outside our control, both times we covered the customer's interim hire.
Two years, no fine print.
Every conversion is warrantied two years on parts and labour. Mobile callout across England and Wales. We have repaired campers in seventeen countries — there is no scenario we haven't seen.
Twelve a year, never more.
We turn down forty enquiries a year because the maths only works at this scale. Twelve campers means each one gets the cabinetmaker's full attention for thirteen weeks. That is the only way.

The library
Eight materials, used honestly.
We hold a small library. Not because choice is the point — because the right wood for a galley front is not the right wood for a bench seat. Every sample comes home with you for a fortnight before sign-off.

Janka 1360 · density 0.69 g/cm³
Smoked ash

Janka 1320 · density 0.68 g/cm³
Walnut
Steamed, book-matched. Reserved for top tier builds.
Janka 1010 · density 0.66 g/cm³
Birch ply
12mm Latvian, lightweight. For weekenders only.

Natural wool
Yorkshire mill, undyed and hand-dyed weights.

The honest comparison
What changes when you build small.
Fourteen line items where a HubDub differs from a typical converter. Every line is a deliberate trade — slower, costlier, more honest, better for the next twenty years of ownership.

Owners
Read the long-form journalThree commissions, three years on.
“We came in with a sketch on the back of a flight ticket. Sixteen weeks later we drove out in the camper we'd been describing for two years. Every detail.”
Hannah R.
The Saltburn · Crafter MWB
“The weekly photos meant we never had to ask. Three months in, the oak has darkened beautifully and the heater has paid for itself twice over.”
James W.
The Pinewood · Crafter MWB
“Other converters quoted £58k. HubDub quoted £71k and explained, line by line, why. Six months on, every line was money well spent.”

Eight things
We get asked first.
The questions that come up before contract. If yours isn't here, send a note — we'll add it.
It's the bottom of our quote band — a Transit Custom or T6.1 with a side kitchen, oak interior, and our Weekend power tier. Most builds land between £75k and £95k. The Langham, our walnut + leather Sprinter LWB, is £118k. We'll give you a fixed price at design sign-off in week 5.
Yes. We'll PDI it before signing — full inspection, OBD scan, structural check. We may decline pre-2018 Sprinters known for chassis rust, or any vehicle with a salvage history. There's a £450 deduction from the build price if you supply, since we're not sourcing.
£2,500 to hold a slot, fully refundable until design sign-off in week 5. After sign-off, deposits are 30% of contract — also refundable if we miss our 16-week handover by more than three weeks (which has happened twice in six years, both times for parts shortages outside our control).
Yes — DVLA M1 SP reclassification is included in every build. It typically saves £400–£700 a year on insurance and unlocks lower congestion charge bands. We handle the V5C paperwork and inspection.
We work with two motor finance lenders. Indicative rates start at 9.9% APR for an HP agreement on terms up to 7 years. Part-exchange is welcome where the vehicle is a campervan or low-mileage daily-driver of clear value — we'll quote within 48 hours.
Two formal site visits are scheduled — usually weeks 8 and 13. You're welcome more often, by appointment. We send weekly progress photos every Friday whether you ask or not, plus a daily WhatsApp thread with your project manager.
Two years on every HubDub-installed component: cabinetry, electrical, plumbing, heating, gas, water, solar, lithium, controls. Parts and labour covered, mobile callout for anything inside England and Wales. The base vehicle is covered by the manufacturer's warranty separately.
Yes to both. Every build ships with an Eberspacher or Webasto diesel heater, lithium battery heater pad, and full freezing-point insulation. EU travel pack — green card, breakdown, toll tags — adds £1,200. We've delivered campers as far as the Faroes and Andalucía.
