“The most comprehensive bay-window or split-screen campervans available�

What we do.

Welcome to Morecambe and Wize Campervan Sales.

We have been established for many years and we’re proud to have a team of staff who love what they do. We have only one ethos: perfection, or nothing at all.

Our 3-2-1 option offers customers plenty of choice in selecting some of the best and most comprehensive bay-window or split-screen campervans available for sale on the market today. Whether you’e looking for a tin top or a pop top, we can cater to your needs.

Our campervans are imported from the hotter regions of the U.S.A, allowing us to provide our customers with the best examples for that long-lasting finish.

The 3-2-1 program also allows us to produce a campervan that fits your budget. Each option carries its own unique specification level, designed by you!

Across the board, mechanical items are replaced along with most of the electrical components and wiring looms. Each shell is stripped back to basics, with an extensive exterior and interior respray, and that’s just a small section of the process. When you buy with us, bare metal soda blasting comes as standard.

We can cover all these areas, plus we’ll introduce you to a range of luxurious tailored, bespoke upholstery and replacement furniture, meaning the final, high-quality restoration is completely designed by you.

All workmanship is conducted in house by our qualified craftsman.

Investing in any classic Volkswagen requires confidence. Being the largest classic VW camper specialist in the north west of England, our campervans also carry our own unique 3-2-1 warranty. With a national and European customer base, we continue to grow year on year.

Priced from £23,950 with affordable finance options and a 3-2-1 warranty scheme, you can’t go wrong when you choose Morecambe and Wize VW Campervan Sales.

We’re here to stay. No corners cut.

The Morecambe & Wize way.

So why do we offer an Option scheme?

Well, it’s based on experience. As a company, we want to deliver the best service we possibly can, and to be there for our customers following their purchase. That’s why each sale is backed by our three-year warranty.

The key points for us are complete transparency and managing expectations. We want our customers to be confident in what’s included in the price, what our processes are, and what we do to ensure a long-lasting finish.

At the point of order, you’ll know all about the specifications, how long it’s going to take and, crucially, what your finished campervan will look like.

Each build is photographically documented so that we can show you what we’re doing. Finally, we’re aware everyone has a budget, which is why we’ve developed three different price options.

“It’s a long journey….!” Mark Ritson (Director)

Our Option programme campervans are generally built to order. Taking on average between three to eight months to complete depending on your requirements, we make sure that we complete every step of the process to the highest standards. We implement quality control (QC) processes performed by both the foreman and managing director at every stage of your build. From strip down through to completion, we adhere to no fewer than five separate, documented QC ‘stop points’ throughout the build schedule.

“Built to order, and designed by YOU!”

all removable components for the painting process. Lead-loading and seam-welding are both commonplace at this stage.

This is one of the first processes we perform on your newly acquired camper. We strip each shell right back to its bare bones. Why? Because it gives us the opportunity to see everything. We sometimes find that it’s just better to replace than to repair, and this allows us to make that decision.

Our team of fabricators and body shop staff start working on your camper straight after soda blasting is complete. All areas receive treatment using high-quality German Würth products. We start as we mean to go on.

Our body work process has no fewer than three staged QC points, so we know we’ve been as thorough as we can be with your campervan.

Soda blasting is literally what it sounds like. It’s a process where sodium bicarbonate is blasted at the metal using compressed air. It is a nondestructive method for many applications in

The body shop process couldn’t be more fundamental in ensuring your campervan has the best start. We go into detail, from all interior holes being remedied, to stripping and preparing

All our Option programme campervans receive : • Complete rust and rot removal and replacement • Fabrication where required • Use of high-quality Würth products • Etch priming • Lead-loading and chemical metal works

Paint.

Now for the exciting bit: you choose the colours on your Option VW camper!

Following on from the extensive soda blasting and body shop processes, we subcontract the painting side of the process to a truly excellent partner company. The key points are using the best quality paint, following best practice processes and careful polishing upon completion. These are all are essential elements that make the difference between an average paint finish and an excellent one.

Complete inner and outer respray: high-quality paint is applied to achieve colour depth, paint is applied to all sides of metalwork and three-stage primer is applied to ensure lasting quality.

All our Option programme campervans receive: • • •

Full and complete inner and outer paint work Colour-coded dashboard and engine tinware* Colour-themed, newly painted bumpers, wheels and body ancillaries

*Options 1 and 2 only

VW pastel colours are popular, but we can paint your VW camper in any colour you choose!

Mechanical.

Experience you can’t buy...

With mechanical warranties ranging from three to twelve months, you’re in safe hands!

Owning a classic vehicle can be testing at times.

That’s why we go to great lengths while we’re building your Option campervan to take away as many classic car woes as possible

Our Option campervans have three differing levels of specification when it comes to the mechanical build up and electrical installation.

From bay windows to our split screens, each option carries its own unique set of requirements.

From brand new reconditioned engines, to reconditioned gearboxes and complete electrical installations, we include as much as we can for you to enjoy trouble-free motoring with your pride and joy.

Most of our campervans require a reasonable level of mechanical replacement, so we do what we need to do for your peace of mind. Our Option 3 campervans carry a ‘repair or replace’ motto, ensuring that everything works as it should, including your original engines and gearboxes.

The Option 2 package extends to a ‘four- corner

mechanical replacements’ policy, from shock absorbers to brake master cylinders, not to mention the electrical rewire and reconditioned gearbox.

And finally, our Option 1 campervans benefit from a near-complete mechanical replacement, changing as much as we can get our hands on. * Full mechanical listings are available upon request

Upholstery.

Hand made, in house.

All of our Option programme campervans undergo a full interior refurbishment. We are very proud to have an expert upholsterer on our team. David has been in the fashion and upholstery trade for more than thirty years. It really is a fine art! Next time you see a Virgin Airlines uniform, think of David. He designed them.

As part of our VW campervan restoration, the interior seats, beds and cushions are restarted from scratch. Their frames and springs are repaired where required, and given a fresh lick of paint. From there, David adds a hessian fabric for the sound and long-lasting base to work off. Here, high-quality foam in various formats is added to reform the original shape, with long-lasting results in mind.

Following this essential part of refurbishment, the finely made fluted and piped covers are fitted. Hand made with extra-strength stitching, piping and high-rated vinyl, they take their final shape. Without the long-standing craftsmanship practised in house, we couldn’t achieve these excellent results.

Order one of our Option programme campervans, and you get to choose exactly which colours you’d like for your upholstery!

11

Cabinetry.

Our bespoke services extend to hand-crafted interior cabinetry for all our Option programme campervans.

With a choice of five interior layouts for both bay-window and split-screen campervans, we’re certain to have something that suits your needs.

12

We use sustainable, 15mmm high-grade lightweight ply, available with a vast selection of colours and patterns to choose from. From full width to ¾ ‘rock and roll’ beds, our interiors are designed with originality and functionality in mind. Choose from a range of seat belt options to complement your interior layout, so you and your passengers can travel in safety and style.

Our interiors are designed to incorporate any additional accessories that you might like, including fridges, sinks, ovens and more. Our ‘build to order‘ process means your interior will look exactly like you’ve always pictured it.

Each interior is designed specifically for your campervan so it’s a perfect fit, every time.

Flexibility where you need it.

As lead times can run up to eight months, Morecambe and Wize has developed an Option payment scheme to run alongside our Option programme campervans.

It’s simple. Once you have chosen one of our VW campervans, picked out your colours, chosen the interior cabinetry and decided on fabrics and upholstery, your order will be confirmed by way of your initial deposit.

The deposit is a third of your total invoice price. When you’ve settled the deposit, we’ll get started! As the schedule progresses, the balance is then broken up into two more thirds. The second third is payable at the end of month two following your order date, and the final third is due at the end of month four following your order date.

We find that this approach works well for our customers, allowing them to secure their campervan with an early deposit and spread the rest of the cost. If you would like to discuss this in more detail then please contact us.

You're in safe hands.

Morecambe and Wize Campervan Sales is the only company of its kind in the UK to offer customers peace of mind for a full three years. We take pride in our work and we want to extend our integrity in offering additional protection for you, our valued customer. We’re here for you just as much in the years following your purchase as we are at the point of order.

Each Option level campervan has its own unique VW camper warranty criteria, as the level and specification of each differs across the range.

However, each carries the same two- and three-year protection.

A copy of the full terms and conditions of our VW camper warranty coverage is provided at point of sale. So you’ll know exactly what’s covered, and what’s not.

Highlights of these warranties are as follows : • • •

Three years rust and rot protection to the chassis Two years paint defect warranty cover One year mechanical warranty on our Option 1 campervans, six months on our Option 2 campervans, and three months on our Option 3 campervans. **

** Additional time scales available to purchase.

Quality Control.

We receive many requests for VW camper restorations from owners across the UK and throughout Europe asking if we can complete full VW camper restorations to their own van. The answer to most of these enquirers is a resounding: “YES!”. We can do it all, and all under one roof.

The job may be a VW camper interior refit, a right-hand drive conversion or a mechanical and body overhaul after an engine fire.

We have conducted several major VW camper restorations, from removing an entire roof to a complete shell. Having the ability to conduct all our work under the same roof means we can adhere to our quality checking processes throughout, guaranteeing a complete and thorough finish.

Our team of seven staff members provides us with a broad spectrum of time-served experience and qualified knowhow. It’s this expertise which allows us to complete all aspects of our Option programme in house.

We have a five-point quality checking system in place to ensure every campervan is finished to exacting levels of detail. We’ve been accepted into the Retail Motor Industry’s ‘Trust My Garage’ scheme. We’re approved by the RAC and a member of the Federation of Small Busineses.

We use high-quality materials from German company Würth.

Try before you buy.

Have you ever felt like just setting off on holiday without knowing where you’re going? To just relax, unwind and go at your own pace? You’ll be amazed at the freedom it brings; it’s not just a form of travel and a bed for the night, it’s a way of life. With the Lake District National Park on our doorstep you’ll have a great gateway to your journey when you collect your campervan for hire. Further afield are the Scottish borders and the beautiful Scottish mountain ranges. Or, if you want to stay close by, the sea and some gorgeous sandy beaches are just down the road from us.

Our VW campervan hire is available through the use of our flagship Option 2 VW campervan, ‘Eric’. He is ideal for a surprise break for that someone special, so why not hire it to celebrate an occasion? A week away in a vintage vehicle makes a stunning gift. You could even hire it for your wedding day and honeymoon. Go on, arrive in real style!

And, if you buy a campervan from us within the eight weeks following your hire, we’ll refund the hire cost from your overall campervan price. Simple!

“Some people say looks are king, we would say the customer is king.

Why invest so much time and energy into a brand, when you don’t have customers who are completely satisfied with everything that you’ve done for them?

They’re why we exist. They’re the most important part of the chain. We consider them in everything that we do.

We’re not here because we need to be, we’re here because we want to be."
