The Van Haven Shillingstone

We didn’t set out to reinvent the VW camper van. We set out to perfect it. The final chapter in the Transporter story, engineered in Dorset.

Our promise

We didn’t set out to reinvent the camper van. We set out to perfect it.

The Story

Not just another campervan

From the T1 “Splitty” to the remote-work era, the Transporter became a vessel for dreamers. The Shillingstone is our bold, unapologetic statement of craftsmanship, innovation, and freedom. A tribute to everything the Transporter stood for, and a promise of where it can still take you.
