Built for the extraordinary.
We don't build campervans. We engineer bespoke expedition vehicles, precisely designed around the people who will live and work in them.
Our Work
Vehicles that define
a category of their own.
Featured Commission
Apollo, Built for Neil Laughton
Commissioned by Neil Laughton, ex-SAS officer, Everest summiteer and decorated British explorer, Apollo has also been used extensively by Bear Grylls. It is Wildbox's most celebrated build: a fully expedition-capable vehicle engineered for the most demanding environments on earth.
- Full off-grid solar and lithium power system
- Expedition-rated heating and water systems
- Custom fabricated interior and garage storage
- Weight-engineered chassis and suspension upgrade

Explorer & Adventurer
Our Approach
Engineering first. Always.
Too many builds are designed for Instagram. Ours are designed to work: in deserts, on mountain passes, through winters, for decades.
Designed around you
We begin with a detailed brief covering how you'll use it, where you'll go, and who travels with you. Your vehicle is designed around your life, not a template.
Built to last decades
Every system, from electrical to structural, is engineered to professional standards by qualified tradespeople. No YouTube tutorials. No guesswork.
Proven in the field
From Ukrainian humanitarian missions to Bear Grylls expeditions, our vehicles have been trusted in conditions that demand total reliability.
"The Wildbox team built us something we couldn't find anywhere else. A vehicle built around the mission, not around a catalogue."

5-Year Warranty
Every Wildbox commission comes with a comprehensive 5-year warranty covering workmanship, systems and installation. We build to a standard that makes this easy to offer, and we stand behind every build we deliver.
Concierge Service
Our concierge service means you have a direct line to the Wildbox team whenever you need it. Servicing, system queries, upgrades, advice before a major trip. We're here. For clients who don't have time to deal with problems, that peace of mind is everything.
The people behind the build
Led by one of the UK's most respected names in van conversion.
Mark Cropley founded Wildbox with 25 years of specialist vehicle engineering behind him, including hundreds of vehicles built directly for the Ministry of Defence before turning his expertise to adventure vehicles. Known across the industry as The Van Conversion Expert, Mark was invited to judge the eBay Van Conversion of the Year awards alongside TV's George Clarke of Amazing Spaces.
When you commission a Wildbox, you work directly with Mark and the team throughout. No account managers, no handoffs, no sub-contractors. The same people who consult with you build your vehicle.
Based in Horsham, West Sussex. Working with clients across the UK.
