Converting since 2017

Choosing a converter is the hard part.

You’ve read the stories — deposits that vanish, electrics that fail, deadlines that slip by months. We built Cosmic to be the opposite: a family-run Derby workshop you can walk into before you decide anything.

What owners say

Flexible solar panel fitted to a campervan roof

“We took our T6.1 in for solar panels to be fit. Professional service from the quote to final handover. Our campervan was given back to us in exactly the condition but of course with the solar panels fitted. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them and have done to friends.”

The questions everyone asks.

Can't find your answer?

What warranty do you offer?

Every piece of work we do is covered by our 2-year Cosmic-assured warranty. Parts like the pop top carry their manufacturer’s own warranty on top of that.

How do payments work?

A 25% deposit books your build slot, 25% is due when your van arrives at the workshop, and the remaining 50% at collection — you never pay everything up front.

Do I need to own a van already?

No. Plenty of people come to us first. Tell us how you want to travel and we’ll tell you honestly which van suits — and what to check before you buy one.
