Crozier Campers now a part of Mercedes Benz Bodybuilder programme

Crozier Campers, a converter which was founded only four years ago, has become part of Mercedes Benz’s Bodybuilder programme after investing £40,000 in design software and CNC machinery.

The inclusion in the programme means Crozier Campers can now order pre-registered Sprinter vans directly from Mercedes Benz in Germany – take a look at our best van for converting to a camper guide to find out more about the base vehicle.

The company, based at Poulton-le-Fylde outside Blackpool, makes a range of vans, from day vans based on VW Transporters (see: the best VW campervans if you’re thinking of buying a Volkswagen model) to larger vehicles aimed at off-grid camping.

Its investment was supported by a £20,000 grant from Made Smarter, a joint initiative by the government and industry to encourage more businesses, particularly SMEs, to introduce digital technology.

In other industry news, Knaus and Weinsberg have announced they will both be releasing a Mercedes Sprinter ‘van for the new season.

Peter Baber is Reviews Editor of both Practical Motorhome and Practical Caravan. He has been reviewing motorhomes for the best part of a decade now. His first caravan reviews date back to the early 1990s when he first worked on Practical Caravan, before he embarked on a 20-year career in business journalism which saw him edit a wide variety of magazines, and launch a few too, including one that won an award. Although he enjoyed that, he always knew he wanted to come back. Peter reports on all the new models that make it to dealer forecourts each season, giving his judgement online and in magazine reviews. He has twice been shortlisted for a Caravan Writers Guild award. When he is not working, apart from going on motorhome trips himself (mostly local to where he lives in West Yorkshire, but also last year right across France) he likes trying to write novels, cooking, throwing the odd pot, and has just taken up tennis.
