Meet Vanny 2.0, our iconic VW T25

About Vanny 2.0

One hundred campervans. Six years. And it all comes back to where it started.

In 2020, Ryan was living in a one-bedroom flat in Bristol, working as a primary school teacher, saving up van parts while on a debt management programme. He'd spent years building a VW T25, part by part, trip by trip and called her Vanny. When COVID hit, he listed her in a prize draw for £1.20 a ticket. 3,000 tickets sold in 24 hours. Vanny was won by Darren, the very first winner in VC history. And from that one van, one draw, and one mad idea in a Bristol flat, VannyCampers was born. Years later, someone spotted the original Vanny in London. Flat tyres. In a bad way. We tried to track her down. We never found her.

Van #100 is a VW T25. Same era. Same spirit. This is Ryan's own personal van built and loved over years, now fully rebuilt from the ground up and given away to the VC community as our 100th prize. She has a fully reconditioned 2.2 Subaru engine with just 5,000 miles on it. A custom 3M high gloss black psychedelic wrap. Rainbow Spektra painted roof. Banded steel wheels. A straight-through exhaust. A £3,000 professional sound system. And £30,000 cash going to her new owner alongside her.

This isn't just a campervan. This is where it all began — rebuilt, reimagined, and ready for whoever's next. One hundred vans given away. Thousands of lives changed. And this is how we mark it. Welcome to Vanny 2.0. 🖤

Frequently Asked Questions

Taking home one of these beauts will come with a host of questions.

What kind of campervans do you give away?

Every VC van is a premium, fully hand-built conversion. No flat-pack kitchens, no carpet on the walls. Think real wood, proper kitchens with compressor fridges and gas hobs, hot showers, diesel heating, lithium batteries, solar panels, and comfortable beds. Every van has its own name and personality.

What base vehicles do you use?

We use Mercedes Sprinters, VW Crafters, Fiat Ducatos, and Peugeot Boxers. All of them are under 3.5 tonnes, which means they can be driven on a standard UK driving licence.

Who builds the vans?

We work with a small number of trusted specialist UK converters. We also now build vans in-house at our Bristol workshop. Every build is checked by the VC team before it goes live.

Is the van insured when I collect it?

The van will be registered in your name. You'll need to arrange your own insurance before driving it away. We can advise on this after you win!

Can I see the full spec of the current van?

Yes. Every competition page on vannycampers.co.uk has a full breakdown of the van's spec, including the base vehicle, conversion details, electrical setup, sleeping capacity, kitchen, bathroom, and more. There's also a video walkthrough on our socials..

How do I collect the van if I win?

Our team will contact you after the draw to arrange everything. Collection is from Bristol. We'll do a full handover with you so you know exactly how everything works before you drive away.

What if I don't have a driving licence?

The van can still be registered in your name. You'll just need a licensed driver to collect it and drive it for you.

Do I need a special licence to drive it?

No. All our vans are under 3.5 tonnes and are able to be driven by anyone with a standard UK driving licence.

Is the van insured when I collect it?

The van will be registered in your name during handover but you will need to arrange your own insurance before driving it away. We work closely with a specialist insurer and are able to help with this process.
