https://youtube.com/ Southlands Motor Company is a family run business dedicated to our passion, converting and selling VW Campervans

We also specialise in quality privately sourced used cars which are handpicked for general sale, not from auctions, all hav

ing full service history, great specification, low owners and presented to the highest standard possible. In a market where there are thousands of car dealers all claiming to be the best, we excel in the condition of each of our vehicles, and our constant support throughout your ownership, which is backed up with the 12 months warranty we provide with every car we sell! Our true passion lies in the Campervan side of our business, which we started in 2011. We initially started importing MPV vehicles from Japan and having them converted into Campervans, which eventually lead to us entering into the VW market in early 2012, and since then as they say the rest is history! Our camper specialists Lee and Paul have spent the last 8 years tweaking and redesigning the vans to adapt to change in current market needs, with company Director Darren working tirelessly to source the perfect vans to convert directly from his main dealer contacts. The improvements and modifications during the last 8 years are plain to see, the campervan you see today really leaves no box or option left unticked in terms of comfort and specification. We use 2 conversion companies, completing a minimum of 2 to 3 vans a week, which are often secured before they hit the showroom, such is the demand for a van, however, we will happily source a base van and convert it to your own unique specification even allowing you to pick all of the colour options and specification inside including leather, body kit options sidebars, tent colours and alloy wheels, meaning you really can make all your camper dreams come true! We will also happily help sourcing accessories for any van purchased from us including multi rails, awnings and cosmetic parts, along with performance upgrades too, meaning we really are a one-stop shop! Please contact the team regardless of where you are in the camper buying cycle, some customers are ready to buy immediately, others are looking to the future, but regardless we are always happy to answer any questions or queries, and also show you around our van

🔥 NEW ARRIVAL — AND A SOUTHLANDS FIRST! 🔥

Just arrived with us — this stunning delivery mileage 2026 VW T7 Commerce Pro, finished in Stone Grey and priced at £81,990.

This one is absolutely packed with factory upgrades, including:

🔥 Heated front seats
📷 360° parking cameras
💺 Twin Captain Ayton front seat upgrade
🛋️ Full sliding 3-seater Mobi bed
✨ Plus plenty more!

But what really makes this van special is something we've been working on behind the scenes...

⚡ FOR THE FIRST TIME AT SOUTHLANDS, WE'VE GONE FULLY OFF-GRID!

This T7 features our brand-new off-grid power setup:

🔋 Twin lithium leisure batteries
⚡ 2000W inverter
🍳 Induction hob
🔌 Full off-grid 230V power

Meaning your plug sockets, microwave, induction hob and more all work without mains hook-up — literally at the flick of a switch!

We've spent a lot of time researching and developing this system to make sure the power setup we install matches the quality of our campervan conversions.

The result? A Southlands camper that's genuinely designed to give you even more freedom when you're away.

No gas hob. No mains hook-up required. Park up, flick the switch and you're ready to go. 🙌

💰 £81,990

🚐🔥 CAMP OUT 2 – WE ARE OFFICIALLY LOCKED IN! 🔥🚐

Right everyone... registration is CLOSED!

Final numbers are in:

🚐 39 VANS
🙌 83 PEOPLE

That's only FOUR vans short of our first Summer Camp Out, which is bloody brilliant considering this September one was never even planned! 😂

You lot asked for another one, so we squeezed in a bonus Camp Out before the end of the season... and 83 of us are turning up! ❤️

💰 NOW IT'S TIME TO GET YOUR PAYMENTS IN!

To keep things nice and simple, we've worked it out at £18 PER VAN.

And we've actually got ourselves a bit of a bargain there! 😂

A normal pitch at Valley View is around £25 on Pitchup, so we're getting the whole field to ourselves, exclusively for the Southlands Camp Out, for LESS than you'd normally pay to stay there! 🙌

Please make payment to:

Southlands Motor Company
Account Number: 48201660
Sort Code: 30-93-55

IMPORTANT – for your payment reference, please use:

YOUR SURNAME + YOUR VAN'S ORIGINAL REGISTRATION

Please DON'T use any private plates... purely to save our accountant shouting at me when she's trying to work out who's paid! 🤣

Once you've paid, please COMMENT "DONE" on this post. 👍

And if everyone could get payments across ASAP I'd really appreciate it. I'd love to have the whole thing boxed off before I disappear to Wales! 😂🏕️

🚐 PITCH LAYOUT

The pitch layout will be similar to our first Camp Out, although we're going to tighten things up a little this time and bring everyone a bit closer together.

Don't worry about any of that just yet though – I'll put some proper information out about the layout, arrival and parking over the next few days. 👍

RIGHT... THEN THE FUN BIT!

✅ Numbers confirmed
✅ Food confirmed
✅ Breakfast confirmed
✅ 83 of us ready to go

Now I want YOU LOT to get involved...

WHAT CAN WE DO TO MAKE CAMP OUT 2 EVEN BETTER?! 👀🔥

This is where I genuinely want your ideas.

Games? Competitions? Music? Something stupid? Something for the dogs? Something completely random?

Chuck your ideas in the comments and let's actually plan some of them!

And don't come up to me on the day and say "Lee, do you know what would've been good..." because by then IT'S TOO BLOODY LATE! 🤣🤣

Someone also asked me yesterday...

"What happens if it rains?"

Well...

Bring your awnings.
Bring a good coat.
And remember... IT'S ONLY WATER! 😂🌧️🍻

A bit of rain isn't stopping 83 of us having a good time.

That said...

🙏☀️ EVERYONE START PRAYING TO THE WEATHER GODS AGAIN! ☀️🙏

26TH SEPTEMBER... HERE WE COME! 🚐🔥❤️

🚨 LAST CHANCE – CAMP OUT 2! 🚨

Right everyone, we're currently at 36 customer vans confirmed for Saturday 26th September! 🙌🔥

Add me and Dan, our Head of Factory, and that's 38 vans on the field — meaning we're currently at just £18.16 PER VAN for the night (£690 split between all of us).

Registration is closing TOMORROW and after that I'll start collecting payments and getting everything locked in. 👍

And a few more updates...

🍔 Urban Cuisine are CONFIRMED! Daniel is catering for us on the night AND making the effort to camp over and do breakfast the following morning. Let's make sure we all get behind him — we can't have the poor bloke camping overnight to sell 3 bacon butties! 😂🥓

🔧 Dan our head of factory/build is driving 4 HOURS to join us and provide you all with his technical wisdom... whether he's ready for that or not! 😂

📸 Kieron, our cameraman, is also coming — so the photos, videos and social media should be properly on point this time meaning Lee can also chill out 🤣

Considering this was only meant to be a little bonus Camp Out because everyone asked for another one...

It's coming together nicely! ❤️🚐🔥

LAST CHANCE to register before I close the list and start collecting payments! 👇
