Celebrating adventure, innovation and the incredible campervan community.
Every year, Vanlove Festival brings together thousands of people who share a passion for campervans, overlanding and life on the road. From first-time van owners to seasoned adventurers, it's a weekend packed with inspiration, expert advice and unforgettable experiences.
For Adventure Van Life, Vanlove Festival 2026 was another fantastic opportunity to connect with the community, showcase our latest projects and meet both familiar and new faces.
More Than Just a Festival
Vanlove Festival has quickly become one of the UK's favourite campervan events, combining live entertainment, great food, exhibitors and an impressive display of campervans, expedition vehicles and overland builds.
Whether you're looking for your next adventure vehicle, planning your first camper conversion or simply enjoying the atmosphere, there's something for everyone.
One of the things we enjoy most is seeing the incredible variety of vehicles on display. Every build tells a different story, reflecting the owner's lifestyle, travel plans and personality.
Bringing Our Builds to Vanlove
This year, we were proud to exhibit some of our latest Adventure Van Life projects, giving visitors the opportunity to see our work up close and ask questions about the products and systems we install.
Our stand was busy throughout the weekend, with visitors keen to learn more about:
- AUTOTERM diesel heating systems
- Campervan electrical installations
- Off-grid power solutions
- Bespoke camper conversions
- Expedition vehicle design
- Heating upgrades and accessories
There's nothing quite like being able to demonstrate these systems in person. Visitors could explore our vehicles, see the quality of our workmanship and understand how different heating and electrical systems work together.
Showcasing Our Arctic Expedition Unimog
One of the biggest attractions on our stand was our Arctic expedition Unimog.
Having recently returned from testing the vehicle in some of Europe's harshest winter conditions, it proved to be a real talking point throughout the festival.
Visitors were fascinated by the expedition pod, off-grid electrical system and multiple AUTOTERM heating systems, while our team enjoyed explaining the thinking behind the build and the lessons learned during its Arctic adventures.
It's always rewarding to see people inspired by what's possible when a vehicle is designed specifically for exploration.
Meeting the Adventure Van Life Community
Perhaps the best part of the weekend wasn't the vehicles—it was the people.
Throughout the festival we met customers who had travelled hundreds of miles to say hello, future customers planning their first conversions, and fellow adventurers eager to share stories from the road.
Many visitors stopped by simply to chat about their travel plans, ask technical questions or get advice on choosing the right heating system for their vehicle.
Events like Vanlove remind us why we love what we do.
Our business has always been built around helping people enjoy more adventures, and seeing that passion shared across the community is incredibly rewarding.
Sharing Knowledge
One of our main aims at every show is education.
Whether someone owns a campervan already or is just beginning their conversion journey, we believe sharing knowledge helps people make better decisions.
Throughout the weekend, we spoke about:
- Choosing the right diesel heater
- Internal vs external heater installations
- Off-grid electrical planning
- Winter camping preparation
- Maximising battery performance
- Designing reliable heating systems
It's these conversations that often give people the confidence to tackle their next project or finally take the plunge into van life.
Looking Ahead
Vanlove Festival 2026 was another memorable event, and we'd like to thank everyone who visited our stand, shared their stories and supported Adventure Van Life throughout the weekend.
The festival continues to grow every year, and we're already looking forward to returning with even more exciting projects, new products and fresh ideas to share.
Whether you're planning your next camper conversion, preparing for your first off-grid adventure or simply looking for inspiration, events like Vanlove are a fantastic place to learn, explore and connect with like-minded people.
