What our customers say

Awesome service from Wessex Vans. We had our T6 fully insulated and lined, the seats recovered in leather and our sound system upgraded. All of the work was carried out was to a very high standard and we are very happy with the results. Martyn in particular was excellent to deal with. As new T6 owners we found Martyn stood out from other companies in terms of his customer service, help and advice. Would definitely recommend.

What our customers say

Just wanted to send you a quick note to say how delighted with the van after the collection yesterday. The quality of finish, fit and detail throughout is second to none - a couple of mates who are very experienced in the world of campers have been over today to have a nose and have been blown away by the quality of our Wessex Van. Thank you for all your help and advice throughout the process starting last summer - as mentioned yesterday, doing this largely remotely has been more challenging but dealing with Wessex has always been a pleasure. Thanks too to Megan for all her help during the latter stages - having someone on hand to answer all of my (largely stupid!) questions has been invaluable, and sending us images throughout the build was a real bonus! Thank you Megan. Please pass on our thanks to everyone at Wessex that was involved in the build of our van…we can’t wait to get out and start making memories. Take care and all the best for the future.
