Our Story

From a van in Canada to Britain's most trusted converter.

After ten years owning and hiring campervans across Canada, New Zealand and Australia, we were sure we could improve on the vans we’d lived in. Sometimes we wondered if the people who designed them had ever actually slept in one.
We knew we could do better. In late 2005, Jerba Campervans was formed. We started by converting any van that came through the door, but quickly specialised in the VW Transporter, today working directly with Volkswagen as a registered body builder for the T6.1.

— Simon Poole & Cath Brookes, Founders

The team owns the company.

In 2017, as Simon and Cath both turned 50, they began thinking about the future of Jerba. After detailed planning, the Jerba Campervans Trust was formed in January 2018 and 100% of company shares were transferred into it.
That single decision shapes everything we do. The people building your campervan are the people who own the business. Quality, service and pride aren’t policies, they’re personal.

What We Stand For

Four things that never change.

Employee Owned

Every member of our team has a stake. It changes how we treat each van, and every customer.

Built To Be Safe

Type Approval and NCC Approval — not optional extras, but the baseline for everything we make.

Made In House

Furniture, cabinetry and the pop top roof itself are designed and built under one roof in North Berwick.

Owners First

We don't disappear after delivery. Habitation checks, servicing and lifetime advice come as standard.

Open To Visitors

Come and meet us in North Berwick.

Our workshop is always fully open to visitors. Walk around the build floor, sit inside our demo vans, meet the people who’ll be building your camper. No pressure, ever.
