Apr 27,2024Now in liquidation-not paid their suppliers for parts and took customer deposits. All guarantees invalid for your purchased vehicles. Purchased cvan Feb 2023. Presales blarney by Martin 5*. Postsale 1* with catalogue of issues eg wrong size window covers, drivers seat rear cover broke on arrival, front spoiler only screwed through bumper plastic so it rattled off and smashed, parasitic draw on vehicle battery was due to them routing rear lights and USB from van rear light not leisure battery..on all these issues raised they ignored my correspondence.

Jan 03,2024Caledonian Campers brought in Mark Sheffield from Arnold Clark and promoted him to Operations Manager. He obviously applied the Arnold Clark business approach which ended up in CC's demise. He's now off to Lookers Jaguar/Landrover Glasgow as aftersales manager. Beware the poor service and business approach here now that he's arrived. You'll never get an honest answer. You have been warned

Sep 04,2023Recently bought a new VW Transporter campervan from the team at Caledonian Campers. Had been looking online for a while at the many (many!) options out there e.g. VW California, 2nd hand, part conversions etc. Decided to give Martin a call to pop in to discuss and I wasn’t disappointed! He spent a couple of hours (I was only supposed to have a 1 hour slot!) talking us through the various options out there / what Caledonian could do / answering my many rambling questions. Was absolutely fantastic: he took us through a demo of the vans; openly discussed benfits and negatives of the VW vs other options; gave us a tour of the workshop; and at no point was pushing hard for a sale. Once we had decided to go for it, Martin was incredibly helpful and guided us through all aspects of the sale, including other things like arranging finance / insurance and the value (or not) of certain optional extras. Really enjoyed my experience with Martin and the team - would definitely recommend! The van is amazing!

Aug 25,2023Martin and the team at Caledonian Campers were tremendous to deal with. Caledonian offer a level of luxury and quality in their Campervan conversions that is hard to beat, and this is backed up by the quality of service. They are flexible to your demands, happy to help in any way needed to make sure you get the right outcomes during the process, and beyond. They have amazing insight in this area and are always happy to give you an honest and open view of what you should do when it comes to buying and using the vehicle.

Aug 12,2023From start to finish Martin and The Team were thorough and professional - from identifying the right van through to full conversion. Martin’s experience and depth of knowledge was crucial in guiding us through the process. All queries handled in a timely manner and nothing was too much bother for them- including a last minute adjustment at our request ! The van is Vantastic!! … and we look forward to exploring during our new adventures! Thanks to all the team @Caledoniancampers Sharon & Alan

Jul 26,2023I recently contacted the reception team regarding some warranty checks, my enquiry was handled professionally and the engagement when I arrived to drop the camper off was first class. A big thanks to Mark..... Mark kept me updated on the progress of the work and confirmed when the camper would be ready to collect. When I arrived to collect my camper, I was greeted by friendly staff and offered a cuppa. (was great after the 50 mile cycle to collect the van) I'm happy to say that after testing the camper out at the weekend, all the work has been completed to a high standard. Well done to the reception and workshop teams...

Jul 25,2023We initially went to Caledonian campers to see about converting our M sport Ford transit, we met Martin from Cal/ Camp Who was so knowledgeable, Martin gave us the tour of the workshop and was able to show us the different stages of works which was fascinating, the craftsmanship is second to none, we were totally blown away, after our tour we intended to come home and plan our conversion but there was a very lovely camper T6 on the forecourt that just happened to be for sale not for long 🤦♀️ our new camper is totally amazing we are so pleased with it and it is Going to change our life’s for the better. Thank you to all at Caledonian campers

Jul 03,2023We bought our campervan from Caledonian Campers 2 years ago and it’s been life changing. The team are excellent with great support and highly knowledgeable about all things campervan. We’re especially grateful to Martin for all his help - we dropped in today for a minor repair and again were delighted with the high quality personal service. Can’t recommend Caledonian Campers highly enough! Libby and Graham

May 29,2023Outstanding service and delivery. Patient advice for newbies provided by Martin. Just back from our first weekend away experience and our van is just perfect with a superior finish and thoughtful design. Would be more than happy to recommend this company to any prospective customer.

May 26,2023I’ve just picked up my motorhome from Caledonian Campers. It’s a lovely JOA 70Q. I was well looked after by Kirsten & Martin Sheffield at there site in Clydebank. They were great I also got a wee video about the motorhome telling me all about it before I picked it up. I cannot speak highly enough about the quality of service I received. This company is easy to deal with and has a great customer focus.

Apr 14,2023Great service and staff at Caledonian Campers. Picked up our new van a couple of weeks ago and we absolutely love it. Special thanks to Martin for all your help and sorting out the little issues we had. 😊 Highly recommend for anyone looking to get a van.

Mar 31,2023After an impulse purchase at the SECC in February, we picked up our new Campervan yesterday and to say we are pleased is very much an understatement. It's everything we hoped for and the team took on board some changes that we requested with absolutely no issue. We can't wait to go on our first trip to Mull in 2 weeks, fingers crossed that being complete newbies, everything will go smoothly. Thanks again to Isla, Martin & Mark :-)

Mar 26,2023Caledonian Campers are a fantastic team, super helpful and experts in their field. Completed an internal upgrade of my T5, and to say I’m delighted is an understatement! Took on board what I was asking for and gone a bit extra with some bespoke elements to suit my van. Big thank you to Mark and the team behind the scenes in the workshop (who i didn’t get a chance to meet), for doing such a great job. THANK YOU!!

Feb 21,2023Just bought our first Campervan from these guys. From the first time we met Isla and Martin at the Scottish Camping and Caravan Exhibition at the SEC until we picked up the van, the service has been excellent. Very knowledgeable, professional, honest and down to earth. Our wee van 'Ruby' is beautiful and the conversion is top notch. Just what we have been looking for. Can't wait to hit the road. Once again, thank you all so much.

Jan 31,2023We have never had a Camper Van before and are well beyond retirement age with energetic young grandchildren. We went to Caledonian Campers just after New Year to have a look at Vans and were shown nothing but patience and helpfulness. Martin explained everything so clearly and never failed to give us time even on our many repeat visits. At first there seemed so many options but it all gradually became clear. The upshot is that we have bought a van from them and are delighted. Every piece of information was available for us, (we even had a personal video explaining how everything worked) and we had a lovely surprise awaiting us in the Van. So pleased. Caledonian Campers are obviously proud of their Vans and confident in their workmanship. A pleasure to deal with.

Jan 21,2023When we bought our VW campervan Martin explained every aspect of their van conversions including purchasing arrangements and made a superb video describing the operation of the systems involved. He answered questions promptly and was friendly and helpful and thorough throughout. We would recommend Caledonian Campers to anyone looking for an excellent new campervan. And the Welcome Box and wine in the fridge was a lovely surprise!

Jan 20,2023We had a great experience when buying our Campervan. Martin was very helpful when answering all of our many questions. We were reassured that the aftercare would be good too. I would recommend buying from these guys. Thanks for the wee welcome box too!

Dec 21,2022We were recommended to Caledonian Campers as we are new to van life. Martin put us at ease and answered our questions, he’s very knowledgeable. The van itself is a high quality conversion and we look forward to many happy times in it. A great experience we would highly recommend them. Jan and Steve

May 20,2024Late delivery, damaged every panel on the vehicle with spark / cutting damage, electrical problems and all round poor service and drilled through the skin of my van. Cancelled my warranty half way through because I had too many claims. I could go on but I know they will dispute this review and I've picked the easiest things to prove. Everything is OK until there is an issue then you're on your own.
